The Nokia N78 is now available in US
Last week I posted an introduction to the N78 and now it is available for folks in the US. I said it then and after another week of having it, I still like it … a lot! If you did not see the unboxing video you might want to check it out. I give a quick look at the mapping and music capabilities.
A perfect fusion of features and services
–Newest Nseries device enhances the mobile lifestyle by merging new technologies and Ovi services—
Starting today, convergence craving consumers across the United States can set their sights on the newest Nokia Nseries device to hit American store shelves, the Nokia N78. Combining advanced mobile features such as integrated A-GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and high-speed HSDPA connectivity on North American 850/1900 MHz networks, the Nokia N78 is perfect for enjoying new Nokia services such as Nokia Maps and Share on Ovi. Along with this full suite of data features, the Nokia N78 has also been engineered for maximum voice and messaging performance as well. Now available through select consumer electronics and wireless retailers, online retailers including the www.nseries.com site and at the Nokia Flagship Stores in Chicago and New York, the Nokia N78 retails for approximately $560.
“Offering the robust feature set expected from an Nseries device, the integration of these features with Nokia’s new suite of Ovi services is what makes the Nokia N78 a perfect companion for a connected and mobile lifestyle,” said William Plummer, Vice President of Go-to-Market for Nokia. “Whether using GPS to find my way across town, adding geotag information to the images I capture and upload to Share on Ovi, or using the FM transmitter to listen to my music collection through my car stereo, the Nokia N78 keeps me connected and entertained wherever I go.”
An unboxing and first impressions of the Nokia N78
I received the Nokia N78 the other day and have been playing around with this new entry from Nokia. I have to tell you, I like it! The unboxing video below just shows what I saw the day it arrived and I give a quick look at the mapping and music capabilities. I apologize in advance for the errant sound that occurs in the video when ever the device is actively on the network. For what ever reason my video camera picks up the sound that is normally unintelligible to the human ear. In fact there was a sizable portion of the video I deleted because the sound was just too much.
Nokia always gives a first class introduction to their devices as you open the box for the first time. You always have a to take a second to look before you remove it from the box.
