Nokia N78 bears some resemblance to the N82, but as it is also a part of the N-series, we cannot expect a complete new model. Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA (3.5G) are some features that N78 shares with N82. But, apart from these similarities there are many contrasting unique features. N78 boasts a FM transmitter that allows transmitting music to the nearby FM radio. So, the users of N78 can have great car journeys with the mini radio station at their hands. Also, the stereo speakers add some extra volume to the handset and the 3.5mm headphone jack allows them to stick their usual headphones directly into it. On the back of N78 there is an excellent 3.2 megapixel camera which is in fact the much preferred resolution these days. Carl Zeiss optics with the camera provides crystal clear pictures and hence there is no need to buy the expensive N96 range for its 5-megapixels camera. The four-way navigation key operate as a touch sensitive scroll wheel, much identical to an iPod’s click wheel that lets you hunt music tracks and contacts quickly.
There should be some difference between N78 and N96 apart from the dual-sliding form factor. If the storage space of N78 is doubled, the media junkies would get more space to store their songs and videos. But, now they have to yearn for more. As far as call quality is concerned, N78 lives up to the expectation of a branded Nokia phone. Ring tones are quite loud because of the dual speakers. N78 is a mixed bag of all the benefits of Nokia’s N-series devices. However, the keypad’s ergonomics could be improved and the design may get acceptance among its users. There are not much drawbacks to the N78 as the user’s individual taste and preference can make every handset unique and personal.
The handset weighs about 101.9 grams and measures 113×49x15.1mm. It is several millimeters thinner than Nokia N82 and also much lighter than the N73 model. The overall volume is also high at 89.1 cc and it feels fairly smaller in the hand. The face of the device is separated between the keys and the 2.4 inch QVGA screen. The design of candybar handsets always makes a perfect balance of these two essential elements. Even while using the bottom row number keys, the users can effortlessly hold it and the sleek body makes the storage easier.
The micro USB socket is the above par element of almost every Nokia handset and N78 also comes with this special feature. The socket can be used to make data transfers while the headphones can be capped in the 3.5 mm audio jack placed at the top edge beside the power button. The left side of the device has the 2mm charger slot. It is sure that when Nokia’s N78 arrives in May, it would become popular in a shorter time due to its excellent functionalities and unique features. Also, it is expected that this model would pose a stiff competition to other handsets with similar features.
