Introduction
The Nokia N78 is a popular and stylish entertainment phone from Nokia with a great range of features and I’d say it’s aimed at personal users and can be ideal for business use as well. Nokia call the N78 a multimedia computer and I guess that’s what it is considering the great range of entertainment features and the high tech layout and design of the phone inside. The phone features a 3.2 mega pixel camera which has a variety of integrated features and you also get a-GPS navigation on this phone including Nokia Maps. The features of this phone are great and you can expect a lot of compliments if you’re walking around with this phone in your pocket.
Specifications
The phone has a great range of features and most of them are entertainment features such as 3.2 mega pixel camera which features a photo editor and a range of exciting options for taking and viewing photos. You can also use the camera to record video clips on your phone as well. There is also a secondary camera for video calling which means you can have face to face communication on your mobile. The camera also has an 8x digital zoom function for super close up shots of great quality. The imaging features of this phone are good and you can really get a lot out of the camera on this phone.
One of the best features of this phone is the a-GPS navigation systems which include Nokia Maps and more downloadable maps for your phone. You can use this phone as a satellite navigation system to find your way to just about anywhere in your car or on foot. This phone’s GPS system is great and it is probably the best feature on the phone. You can also take advantage of the email client which allows you to send and receive emails with attachments. You could also opt to buy separately the Nokia wireless keyboard which allows you to type up emails and documents quickly.
The phone also has a great little application of office programs as well as a PDF reader which means you can keep up to date with work documents via email and on your phone. This phone also has a wireless card inside which means you can connect to the internet at home, at work or even in a café with a WiFi hot spot. This means downloads and emails will be fast and easy because you can have wireless broadband on your phone.
Looks
This phone is also very good looking which makes it a very popular handset to have. The phone is sleek and simple but sophisticated and stylish as well. The sleek look makes it easy to use and it’s easy on the eyes. The screen of the phone is good as well and makes it all blend into one which is nice and stylish. The phone is available in three colours but the only bit that changes in the back of the phone. You can choose from white, black and blue all of which look nice and the front of the phone is black and shiny so the overall look of the phone is nice.
If you’re looking for a sophisticated business or personal phone then this Nokia N78 will definitely do you justice. The style and design of the phone is good and it looks very stylish when compared with other Nokia phones. It sort of reminds me of one of the Sony Ericsson walkman phones in shape and sizes. It measures in at 113 by 19 by 15.1 mm in dimensions and weighs about 101.8 grams so isn’t too big and isn’t too small – I’d say it’s just right for a mobile phone.
Design
The overall design of this phone is good and you can tell it is high tech just from looking at it. The outside design is sleek and sophisticated and the interior design of applications and software is just as sleek and sophisticated. The phone runs on Symbian OS and has S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 as well. The design is well laid out and easy to use as well as having some high tech features which are a little more complicated. The phone is of a good design and a popular shape and colour scheme. You can choose from three colours and the design makes them all work well.
Overall
The Nokia N78 is a great phone and I think it’s likely to become a lot more popular as it gets more coverage in the media. The phone has a large range of exciting features and it is able to perform some pretty great tasks such as the a-GPS system and the high quality camera and video functions. The phone also has high speed internet capabilities and an email client which makes it a good phone for business use as well as personal use. The features on their own aren’t amazing but when they’re all put together in a beautiful phone like this it makes it all worth while.
The 3.2 mega pixel camera has some nice features and although not a superior camera it is a pretty good one when you consider that the phone isn’t designed specifically for camera use. Of course, you can perform all the usual tasks on this mobile phone such as SMS, MMS and phone calls but the extra features such as email and video calling make this phone ideal for someone who likes technology and high quality designs of software and applications.
The phone itself is a good shape and a good design and the features included on the phone make it a leader in the entertainment mobile phone field. You can expect a lot of people to compliment you on this phone should you decide to purchase it and considering the available offers on this phone at the moment you’d be mad not to consider it at least. The Nokia N78 is a great phone and is especially good for business use because of the email client, document reader and WiFi internet access which is available on this phone thanks to the wireless LAN card. You can expect to have a good time with this phone and you’ll surely have fun playing around with all the features on it.
