This candybar phone from Nokia’s N-series is a new direction for Nokia who usually make their multimedia phones big and bulky. The n78 cuts down on the width by a couple millimeters making the whole design easier to handle.

Amazing features are to be found in the phone as it is part of Nokia’s flagship line. Most notably is the ability to tag locations on the map included in the phone. With the n78 and its gps capabilities you’ll never get lost and you won’t need to buy a gps device for the car. The system of geotagging will automatically tag locations as you go near them. Nokia maps is the program included in the phone that lets you browse your locations and using the 3.5G connectivity you will be able to easily update the places you’ve been to.

In order to preserve the images of the places you go, the included 3.2-Megapixel camera will be the photographer’s best friend. It has a Carl Zeiss lens which means that the pictures you take will be full of detail and clarity.

Using the USB 2.0 connection you’ll be able to store your favorite photos on the computer and not spend a lot of time doing it. With the mass storage interface all it takes to get the files to and from the computer is a drag and drop method which is very intuitive.

The 2.4-inch display shows colors in brilliant lucidity, and through the WLAN and automatic hotspot detection you’ll be able to surf the internet with ease.

The N78 may not be the priciest example in Nokia's N-series of 'multimedia computers', but this Symbian S60-powered smartphone manages to cram in a serious amount of functionality, including a 3.2 megapixel camera, quality music player and GPS sat-nav technology, all in a compact case that is a serious looker....read the full review

5 of 5 AWESOME!! Thursday, December 18, 2008
steve from st. louis MO  

There are better Nokia phones out there (N85,N96) but this phone is far the best for the price! This phone out does the crappy iPhone by far! Look and compare the specs of each phone if you don't believe me. Plus, it's unlocked; you can use it with any network. Do your homework! On another note, the N97 will be released soon. It will cost more but it may just be better to wait and spend the extra.

5 of 5 Best Phone Nokia has Made! Friday, July 25, 2008
Therese from Albuquerque, New Mexico  
I had to buy a new cell phone as soon as possible, and I happened to find information on the internet about the Nokia N78. This N78 Nokia Phone was more than I imagined. It has beautiful styling on the back of the phone like carbon fiber. The front screen is very clear. It also has audio features where you can transfer your favorite music from your PC to the device. The N78 phone also has built in speakers on the side. The video and image quality is an eye pleaser. The video feature seamlessly streams internet videos to the device and is stunning. The personal videos from your PC can be placed on the device as well. These and many other features like GPS, Carl Zeiss camera lens quality, 3.2 MP camera, and wonderful calling features make this Nokia N78 a wonderful buy!

5 of 5 Amazing Phone Sunday, July 06, 2008
xlordvaderx from Hutchinson, MN  
This is my first Smart Phone I've ever had and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I'm also a HUGE fan of Nokia, and the price tag threw me off a bit, but it was actually WELL worth it. This phone has some awesome features that I was a tad skeptical about. The FM transmitter works great, and the phone comes with a 2GB Micro SD for it, so there is plenty of room for music on it. The camera on it is also amazing, it takes some great pictures, even with the flash. Also the ability to connect to WLAN's is awesome and works great. I can e-mail people when I am close to Wireless hotspots for free, and post pictures that I've taken with my phone to websites instantly. There is nothing that I think Nokia could have improved upon with this phone. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and I'd like to tell all of you that are skeptical about spending this much on a phone that it is well worth it for the features that are packed into this small phone.

5 of 5 One of the best Nokia ... so far Monday, June 30, 2008
Scoobie from Boston, MA  
While nearly $500 for a phone is no chump change, this is one of the best mid-high end phones out there in terms of functionality, build quality (except for the flimsy back cover), and size. The design may be understated for some, but surely stale to others. But with 3G speed, decent camera, WiFi, GPS, and excellent all around messaging capability, you can't complain about its communication prowess. I find the voice quality to be excellent, although the jury is still out on the reception quality. Camera is decent considering it's on a tiny phone, but the pix quality is best only in bright light. The alphanumeric keys work well, but those with fat fingers beware given how closely spaced those keys are; although it's comparable to those on Sony-Ericsson phones. A bit expensive, hence value is in the eye of the beholder, but it is a winner from Nokia. Highly recommended!
