Review: Complete Nokia N78 Review By Mobile Review
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.

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.

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

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.
