Nokia has given some attention to its older N78 handset lately, releasing a new firmware, v21.002, for the handset recently. The firmware is available over the air for both the NAM and EURO variants, which is nice to see. The official changelog is not available, but early reports suggest that it’s basically a bunch of [...]
The Nokia N78 was recently updated to v20.149.051.1, with several key enhancements. DailyMobile.se has the full changelog, if you’re interested, but the stand out features include an updated version of Nokia Maps and a general increase in the speed of the UI, including transitions between screens. The N78 should have UDP (User Data Preservation), though [...]
I’ve pointed you to Martin Sauter’s blog before, he’s usually got some great articles. One of his frequently-recurring themes involves chatting with normobs about their phone, to see what things frustrate them, and what things come as obvious. The latest, Martin recommended that a friend pick up a Nokia N78, which they did. The friend [...]
It’s no secret that I think Audio Themes are a great feature. When we first found out about them on the 5700 XpressMusic, I was pumped, and I was even more excited to see that they’re supported on both the Nokia N78 and N85, the latter of which I’m reviewing now. Unfortunately, it appears as [...]
Wow, Nokia’s doing some major price drops lately, specifically on its S60 powered phones, which is really cool. First up, the Nokia N78 NAM (with dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz) for use on AT&T’s 3G network) is down to a mere $279.97 on Amazon. That’s without contract, just pay up and there you go, in all its [...]
A word of warning: If you own the N73 or N93(i), you may not want to read this post. Nokia has just updated the N-Gage application, adding support for the Nokia N78 and 6210 Navigator models. Yeah, that’s right, you N73 and N93(i) owners, who have obviously been waiting the longest of anyone for proper [...]
Ricky posted a bit on the N78 NAM when it hit Amazon in late June. At the time, the price seemed like a steal at 440 USD, $100 down from Nokia’s own asking price. Amazon dropped the price again on the NAM variant of the device today, and I dropped my jaw; 300 USD. The [...]
One of the things that usually happens before Nokia begins shipping a phone is that the support pages and flash demos go online. Historically, it’s been a good indicator that the phone will begin shipping shortly thereafter, and that’s why were pumped to see the support pages for the Nokia N79 and N85 available now, [...]
Way back in January, we brought you news of a new type of theme for S60 devices, dubbed Nokia Audio Themes. Back then, they were only available for the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, but we’ve now discovered that the N78 and N85 are both able to use these cool themes. So, what is an Audio Theme? [...]
