Nokia N78: The N73 Successor, and Rightfully So

The Nokia N78 ain't yo momma's candy bar. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a better handset with the wide variety of features being offered by this Series 60 handset.

In look and feel, the N78 shares some similarities with the N82. But while the N82 set a path towards photo-taking (with the 5 megapixel camera powered by Carl Zeiss optics), the N78 moved in a different direction - towards music. The candy bar has the distinction of being the first handset to be equipped with an FM transmitter, allowing users to broadcast tunes on car stereos, radios, and anything else that gets an FM signal. We say: cool.

There's more to the N78 than that, of course. Two versions of the phone will ship with HSDPA 850/1900 and 2100/900 3G connectivity, as well as the usual WLAN and EDGE. The onboard GPS combined with the new built-in Location Tagger software will allow you to geotag your images with location metadata - an appreciated but necessary the most practical of features.

Nokia's also thrown in Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP supported, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and stereo speakers to round out the music experience.
