Nokia N78 reviews round-up

CNET.co.uk
“With more multimedia-toting smart phones entering the market, Nokia's N-series is certainly less lonely than it was when it launched. Two years ago, handsets such as the Nokia N73 were topping the charts. Can Nokia repeat the same success with the Nokia N78 in today's feverish smart phone market? The Nokia N78 is available SIM-free for around £300 and will be available shortly for free on a monthly contract.”

"The N78 may not be the priciest example in Nokia's N-series of 'multimedia computers', but this Symbian S60-powered smartphone manages to cram in a serious amount of functionality, including a 3.2 megapixel camera, quality music player and GPS sat-nav technology, all in a compact case that is a serious looker... With its above-average camera, high quality music player, sat-nav and maps combined with a fast, fun-to-use browser, the N78 packs a lot into a great looking and extremely pocketable package."

“We had really been looking forward to this phone, but we're disappointed. It's not a phone that we can recommend. Brave souls will persevere with the keypad and may learn to tolerate it, but we would recommend the Nokia N95 8GB instead. Initially we awarded the phone 1 star. A couple of people sent us rude email as a result. We've calmed ourselves done now and rustled up a couple more stars, but we're still angry with Nokia for messing up such a good product. By the way, plenty of people agree with us. gsmarena says, "The knobs are way too tiny and there are no borders of any kind between keys within the same row. So far we are having quite a rough time typing on the N78." hardwarezone.com says "we found ourselves frustrated as we fumbled and encountered numerous double tapping." igadgetlife says it all: "what were you thinking Nokia?"”

“The N78 looks quite attractive until you switch it on and have to put up with a keypad design that should have the designers fired on the spot. The ergonomics of the N78 really let it down, making the phone far too difficult to use. Why are important keys put on the edges, seemingly at random? It's really frustrating because the sensitive GPS receiver makes this an excellent personal navigator, and the rest of the speculations are impressive too. In fact, with the latest version of the series 60 user interface, with slick animations and a new active standby screen, the exterior spoils what's on the inside.”

“The Nokia N78 is yet another phone from Nokia that Nokia fans will be happy with. While there is nothing earth-shatteringly bad about the N78, for us a clumsy interface detracts from the abundance, and we mean abundnace, of features this handset offers. Average.”

“You can’t accuse Nokia’s high-end N series phones of scrimping on features. From the imminent powerhouse that is the N96 to the hefty and highly-specced N82, every phone comes chock with goodies. In this respect the N78, which replaces the ubiquitous N73, is certainly a winner. As you’d expect, there’s HSDPA on board and tag team of GPS and Nokia Maps are on hand to guide you home from the pub. There’s also Wi-Fi and even a FM transmitter for playing tunes through your car stereo. But it’s not all good news.”
