The Nokia N78 was announced back at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, and the feature that made it unique was the inclusion of a FM transmitter, which allows the phone to wirelessly stream audio to a FM receiver, most notably a car stereo. Greg over at SymbianFrance has a brief video of the whole setup, which is definitely worth the watch. Having a FM transmitter is great for people who can't utilize a patch cord to connect the phone to an AUX jack. I'm eager to try the FM transmitter feature here in LA, where there is heavy congestion on FM frequencies and see how well it works. The FM transmitter has optimal performance on an empty frequency. I'd like to also figure out if it's possible to potentially use the FM transmitter during calls, effectively using the phone in a handsfree mode and listening to the other side of the line through the car speakers.
