After the N78 being available from online retailers for the past few days, Nokia has finally made it official with their N78 being available online on their site and at the Nokia Flagship stores. This phone is unique in particular for multiple reasons:
- It's marketed as a mid-range device offering the latest S60 FP2 firmware with US 3G.
- It's almost concurrently launched with the Euro-spec N78.
- It boasts a FM transmitter to stream music to any FM receiver within range.
- It has a Navi wheel and from the reviews it seems miles ahead of the original one used on the N81.
When the N78 was announced at MWC, I thought of it as a worthy backup phone for the N95-3 or as a great phone for somebody who wants to start with a US 3G S60 phone. It's now available for $560 before taxes and shipping. Hopefully I get a chance to play with one soon and get a better feel for the new tweaks and software running on the phone.
