Pros and cons

N78 over N82
-Better screen (clarity, brightness etc.)
-fp2 (though n82 might get it soon)
-better audio quality
-navi wheel
-far better gps
-better processor (369 mhz to 330 mhz)

N82 over N78
-accelorometer
-far better camera
-more available RAM (128mb to 96mb)
-more practical keypad

Sources: GSM Arena and Phonegg

I would personally take the N78. It is a far better phone except for the camera, in which case the N82 is your preferred option.

lens cover! for me is a must.

i dont like on my N82, the red spot finder (i dont know how to turn it off), and set by default all photos without flash. I use to take close photos to my 2 yr old daughter and is very unconfortable to set off flash on every shot.
i was using my “old” sony cybershot 2Mb pix i guess, but is nice to take +20 shots in a series without worry about setting flash, autofocus delays, etc, etc. why not k.i.s.s.?

the other features are not useful for me.
i live in southamerica. high speed telephony is VERY expensive and not worth for me.

I previously owned a NOkia N82 until it got stolen. I really loved the phone…until i saw the N78. So the camera and xenon flash has been downgraded….and tv-out (which i hardly used) i suppose if u use the phone as ur main camera/video recorder (hence require 5mp camera) then u wd also require tv-out to view ur photos/video quickly…. so its the N78 for me…and the looks/form factor simply blows the N82 out of the water.

@nabeel: yes I cd view youtube vids on my N82 using the wifi connection.

i know that they are multimedia base but it would be really cool if they had any office apps

shiny bulky one inclination or the other well i think that it all depends on your life style n82 could be a load and n73 has its limitations but both phones have there personalities as the user compare and match and life on

How can you say that @Me? Have you tried them both?
What marked are you in?

I’ve not had the chance to try it, but I think that it’s gonna take a bit to convince me…
I loved the N82!

wifi is faster.. I’d go for the N78 because of battery life and I’d like to listen to music on the phone at times. Gui is good and more refined. I also like the SE G900. hhmm.. What u guys thing?

Can i watch youtube on N87

By: kalbidi

kalbidi — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:44:05 +0000

What’s FP2 and RDS radio? I own a Nokia N82 and I love it. It’s all about images to me. Though I love listening to music as well and the N78 has better battery life than the N82. I’ve never used the N78 before. I think I’ll try it at a Nokia shop. The N78 was just released in my country. My country always get things late. I have a question: Which is faster? 3G or wifi?

what about the Navi Wheel on N78, I found on the net some rummers saying that N82 also has it also as hardware but Nokia has delayed the firmware compatible with Navi Wheel until N78 is shipped and spread in the market, any ideas?

FP2 on N82 sounds like a dream come true for me, because that was the only reason I wanted to wait for N78. Sure, battery is weak on N82 and that’s not gonna change ever, and I cannot use it to listen to radio or MP3 because it drains the battery too easily, but overall I am happy with my phone.

N82 vs N78
N82 has (and N78 has not):
-accelerometer
-5 mpx camera with lens cover, 30fps VGA videos
-omap 2420 processor(see a youtube comparison between n81 & n95 and you´ll see the difference, btw n81 same processor as n78 and n95 as n82)
-TV out
N78 has (and N82 has not):
-FM transmitter and RDS radio
-1200mAh battery
-fp2 (but this is rumored to be solved in a future N82 firmware update-source mobile review)

I was to buy a N78 but I have bought a N82, it´s a better phone hands down.

If I have to choose definitely I will go for Nokia N78 between these two. But I am waiting for Nokia N96.

Personally, I’m counting down the days until the Nokia N78 is released. The primary drawbacks above compared to the N82 are related to the camera; it’s all about the network for me – 3G! And that sweet new OS. Great summary comparison, thanks for the post.

The numerical buttons are really hard to use o the N78. I have tried it and I own N82 and I will stick with my N82. The buttons are really much harder to use then I tought.

The n78 has the better looks compared to the n82. However the n82 has the better specs

Btw, Mark, anyone else, have you heard any rumors of a N82 with US 3G frequenzies?

By: dandandan

dandandan — Sat, 17 May 2008 16:04:50 +0000

@Andy, I’ve been playing with the N82 for about 2 months, I don’t notice anything plasticky, I did jump up from an N73 and notice that it feels the same, if not a little different… I wrote about it, if you’d care to read from a new user’s POV, but getting back, I can’t really see comparing the 95-8 to any of Mark’s discussion here…

I hope that what the 78 lacks from the 82, it makes up for in the US Market with the 3G and the FM transmitter, a built in feature that even on the 5th or 6th build of iPods, it still isn’t incorporated!

By: Andy Burgin

Andy Burgin — Sat, 17 May 2008 13:42:46 +0000

The N82 is to Plasticky from Nokia,it does not feel as solid as my previous N73 which felt really solid in your hands,o.k the camera an flash might be good on the N82 but i have the Black 8gb N95 now an the screen size is superb for viewing images an videos so i will stick with this until the N96 becomes available
