The Nokia N78 smartphone includes a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash and geotagging capabilities thanks to the phone's A-GPS receiver.
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). This phone also operates on 850/1900 MHz HSDPA 3G networks found in the United States (operated by AT&T). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a one-year warranty from a third party provider.

Phone Features
The candybar-style Nokia N78 has a large 2.4-inch screen with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for 16 million colors--perfect for enjoying the rich color depth from images captured from the 3.2-megapixel camera.

It offers up to 70 MB of user accessible internal memory, and it can be expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards (up to 8 GB in size). The N78 runs the S60 third edition user interface.

You can synchronize your favorite tunes using Windows Media Player 10 or 11, or convert and transfer music using the Nokia Music Manager software. You can also listen to your favorite radio programs via the integrated FM radio, and the Visual Radio feature lets you see information about songs or artists.

The 3.2-megapixel camera can capture still images up to 2048 x 1536 pixels (as well as several smaller resolution settings), and it includes also includes a secondary CIF camera (352 x 288 pixels) on the front of the phone for video calls (requires network compatibility).

Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and 3.2 megapixel camera, the Nokia N78 introduces the increasingly popular online practice of 'geotagging' to a Nokia device. The Nokia N78 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the device itself, or online. With its high-speed internet connectivity, over WLAN or HSDPA, uploading photos and videos to online communities like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube is a single key stroke away.

This smartphone has an integrated Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), enabling seamless connectivity with wireless networks at work, at home, and on the roam via Wi-Fi hotspots at airports and coffee shops.

It also enables you to check your email on the go (supporting POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols). T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile text messaging users.

Find the section you want and then zoom in to the content you need. The text instantly adjusts to the size of your screen. The browser also keeps a history of your browsing so you can quickly get back to where you started.

5 out of 5 stars I like, great price   October 8, 2008
I have to say kudos to Amazon I had a defective phone. In one day I had a replacement. I had the UPS man asking to take the defective phone off my hands. That is SERVICE! Now the phone. Very fast! Very bright! I use the FM Transmitter and radio many times a day. Love the photo Geo Tagging, Sportstracker, QuickOffice 5.0, design, music player, podcasting directories. The things that are OK are: Nokia Maps( Google is free and much faster, headphones)you must try your own awesome feature. I have a videocamera that takes pics, but this is a very good back up. I gladly give up the video and picture taking ability to have the price drop. Haven't stopped using it since I got it from the UPS guy(the guy runs fast though, funny too). Will buy again from Amazon. NOTE: The only thing that kept me from buying the N79 was the design. Many features but no comparison in design to the N78.

Other than the price being a little steep, I'm quite happy with the phone and all of it's features. One of the most improtant things to me is how well the phone actually performs as a phone. The clarity and volume is great compared to some of the previous motorola phones I've owned, and have yet to recieve any complaints from whoever I'm talking to on the other end.
As far as the features go, there's more than i will ever use. I've yet to run across any problems using most of them. The camera takes suprisngly good pictures for a camera phone, and the mp3/internet radio/fm radio get used often, and also work well. Also, this phone is supported by the joiku spot software, which lets me use my phone as a wireless router. The 3g download speed supported is great, and helps break up a very boring day at work when my laptop's connected to the phone.

I was expecting this phone from several weeks, and the final date arrived.
It is simple awesome!
Excelent display, with a great angle view, very fast for common task and also very fast in GPS, with Garmin Mobile XT (4.20.20).
It GPS is faster than N95 or N82!
Great battery life!
I'd like to note its keypad that you have to get used at first.
But, as i said, simply awesome!

4 out of 5 stars Great Phone, Small Keypad   July 9, 2008
  2 out of 5 found this review helpful

Nokia seem to be experimenting with a different keyboard layout/feel. The N78 is a good attempt...but the numeric keypad requires you to have tiny fingers to type on the N78 (quite like the iPhone).

There are real cool apps that come with the phone...
-Message Reader converts your text messages to voice. Quite good quality.
-FM Transmitter makes your mp3 transmit to listen via your car stereo. The two loudspeakers make listening without a headset more pleasurable.
-PodCast allows you update your subscribed podcasts via WLAN. This is cool.
-Camera with video, even though with 3.2Megapixels, is easily usable in the same way as the N95.

The GPS is still quite a drain on the battery (as with N95), and not as useful as all the hype.
The Messaging app now confuses a little, it allows you to send an "Audio Message" via MMS, while send a "Message" includes text or MMS capability built-in.
