Review: Complete Nokia N78 Review By Mobile Review

March 16th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

Eldar Murtazin gives a comprehensive Nokia N78 review at Mobile Review. He writes about the hardware and software aspects of the N78 as well as how it will affect the sales of the Nokia N82. It is a long, but very interesting read and I recommend you to check it out.

Nokia N78

I did not really pay attention to the Nokia N78 when it was announced at Mobile World Congress while I was there, and after reading this review, I’m still not interested. Mainly, I can’t go back to 3.2 megapixel camera when I currently have 5 megapixels on my Nokia N95.

Position. Mobile-Review’s thoughts on positioning of the Nokia N78 was interesting. Eldar mentions that the Nokia N78’s position is complex. People will buy the Nokia N82 for the camera, so who will buy the Nokia N78? The Nokia N78, in theory, will be perfect for those currently holding on to their highly popular Nokia N73. But Eldar suggests that Nokia maintains a 70-80 Euro price lower than the Nokia N82 or else the sales of both phones will go down.

    Could the N78 be the worst mobile phone ever? I have persevered with it for nearly a year and I still would like to flush it down the loo. It is slow and difficult to use. You need to press the buttons so many times just to send a call you get fed up just by the process. I have cut off so many people calling me I have lost count. One star is a star too many for this lamentable excuse of a mobile phone
  • Wow, very cool phone, I have used it for few months, it rocks baby
  • nice phone i am going to buy it in few days, so its great to see a review.
    Thanks
  • cool review! Like the N78 :)
  • Things I don’t like in Nokia N78 is it don’t have the best call quality, nor did it produce great pictures. It’s also expensive. But As with all Nokia N series smartphones, the Nokia N78 impresses with its high-end features, especially the new geotagging tool,

    I upgraded to the Nokia N78 on O2 and have had the phone for a week. Here are my impressions:

    Build quality: Disappointing. You may have read other reviewers’ concerns on the thin plastic back of the phone, and I agree. The back does seem cheap and ‘plasticky’, and the phone ‘rattles’ on vibrate. The back light can be seen through various cracks on the sides of the front plate.
    The keypad: Personally, I like it and had no problem with the bar-type keys. However, the placement of the ‘c’ button makes texting v awkward and uncomfortable.
    Design: I love the design. It is sleek, quite slim, and understated.
    Nav-key: The D-pad is touch sensitive and works (or is supposed to) in the same way as the iPod click wheel. In reality, this is just a gimmick with little practical use. It simply doesn’t work well enough to make a difference.
    Overall: 6/10
    I was v excited about this phone, and have waited months beyond my upgrade date for it. But upon delivery, it disappointed me to such a point that I have returned it, cancelled my upgrade and await the release of the 3G iPhone.

    Hope this helps.

  • wow
    I Think people will choose the n78 above the n82 because of the cooler design of the n78. On www.n78.nl you can see some examples of it

    I think your right. The N78 has a much more better design than the N82.
