It isn’t until recently that I found out about the WirelessInfo website, but I am glad that I eventually did. The site focuses on handset reviews from different manufacturers and it is nothing like your traditional review. Each handset is almost torn apart to tiny pieces, and everything is covered in full details with awesome comparison charts, from the basic call and messaging features to imaging, multimedia, connectivity, battery life, hardware… To put it in perspective, this is now my only go-to website for absolutely objective device reviews.
Alfredo Padilla is at it again and has just published today his Nokia N78 review. I won’t summarize his opinion about each feature, as I leave it to you to get a good cup of coffee and read his extensive coverage. I will only highlight the main sentence that struck me, and that is, well, what everyone is saying about the N78:
In fact we wonder why anyone would spend $520 for the N78 when it’s more powerful big brother the Nokia N82 is available for slightly less.
Right on the money, Alfredo! When I handled the N78, I asked myself the same question, and only came up with 3 main advantages of the N78 over the N82: american HSDPA, Feature Pack 2 and a slightly better music experience (FM transmitter and music remote in the box). Of these 3, only the first one is relevant in my own opinion, which leads me to say: the N78 still baffles me. What about you?
