Nokia announced the N78 last February 2008 along with two other new phone models -- the Nokia 6220 classic and the Nokia N96. At first, I thought the N78 would be just a slight improvement over its N77 predecessor (see my review of the Nokia N77 here) but turns out these two have very little things alike and the former isn't a digital TV phone. The Nokia N78 ranks high on connectivity with up to 3.6Mbps on HSDPA, 11 to 54 Mbit/s on WiFi networks and 3 Mbit/s on Bluetooth. The Assisted GPS works well enough combined with the Nokia Maps though most of Metro Manila areas aren't that detailed. After playing two similar songs at the same time, I noticed that my Nokia 6210 has a much better bass compared to the N78 (though not as loud). Alternatively, you can also hook up the Nokia MD-4 Mini Speakers (via the 3.5mm jack) which also serves as an external antenna. It could be another FM supported phone, an FM stereo or even your car radio pumping out surround sound music from your Nokia N78. The Nokia N78 features a prominent directional pad at the center called the Navi-Wheel which was initially introduced in the N81 (see my review of the Nokia N81 here).
