Back in February I was lucky enough to be invited to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where I was witness to the launch of two new devices in the Nseries range – the Nokia N78 & Nokia N96.
Well now I am fortunate to be able to share with you hands on access with a pre-sales Nokia N78 handset that has just arrived today.
The sales package for the Nokia N78 I received came with a pair of Nokia MD-4 Mini Speakers which you can only get exclusively if you buy your N78 from the Nokia Online Shop.
Check out some some photos of this sexy looking handset below (click for larger pictures on Flickr):
Here is the Nokia N78 with an N95, N82 and an Apple iPhone – just how is this new handset going to compete with these already established market leaders?
The Nokia N78 is the first handset to get the new S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2. You can check out the new look in the unboxing video below, where I also give a quick tour of the handset:

The Nokia N78 features include:
- 2.4 Inch QVGA Display
- Integrated A-GPS
- Integrated FM Transmitter
- 3.2 Megapixel Camera
- Automatic Location Tagging
- WLAN & HSDPA
- Nokia N-Gage
- Supports Widgets
- And a rather nice 1200mAh Battery!
So there we have it – the handset has just arrived and I thought that I’d share the moment with you, with a quick video and some pictures.. In the coming week I’ll be testing the new N78 to see what it really is like and how it compares to the other mobiles.
If you have any questions you would like me to answer about the Nokia N78 leave a comment, or get in touch via the Contact Page.

Did N78 got accelerometer like N95 and N82?

Things I don’t like in Nokia N78 is it don’t have the best call quality, nor did it produce great pictures. It’s also expensive. But As with all Nokia N series smartphones, the Nokia N78 impresses with its high-end features, especially the new geotagging tool,
