Okay here is yet another announcement from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it looks like there will be phones for all styles and customers coming out this year. Nokia have announced another impressive addition to their N Series, to go with the Nokia N96. The Nokia N78 is quite similar to the Nokia N96 - it has the same styling but in a standard candy bar form.
While I may have called it the 'younger brother of the Nokia N96' it is certainly not a basic phone lacking in features, it is really only missing a few of the main features from the Nokia N96. It has a still good size 3.15 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and flash, the internal memory is smaller at 70MB but can be expanded by microSD, it still has GPS but is missing the DVB-H TV broadcast receiver, which is probably not that big a deal anyway.
The Nokia N78 does have an interesting feature that other N Series mobiles do not have, it has an integrated FM transmitter meaning that you can transmit the music on your phone to any FM device (much like the iTrip that is available for an iPod).
The Nokia N78 is pencilled in for a release in Q2 2008.
