While waiting for the highly expected Nokia N96 we have received news from Nokia regarding the availability of the N78 model in the United States at a retail price of $560.

Introduced in February this year, Nokia N78 brings advanced mobile features like Assisted GPS, built-in 3.2MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps transfer speeds, Nokia Maps, Share on Ovi, digital music player, 8GB storage capacity, microSD memory card slot, and the Web Runtime technology that enables easier access to news, weather and sports.
The Nokia phone camera has autofocus, 15 fps VGA video recording, flash, and 2048 x 1536 pixels for still pictures. There is also a secondary videocall camera.

"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."

Users can get widgets from the Download client or MOSH, the provider of a set of cool content including games, themes, graphics, documents and ringtones.



Nokia Maps is a great service with which you can calculate routing information and access 15 million points of interest with audible and visual turn-by-turn directions. In addition, the A-GPS with geotagging capability lets you add metatags on your pictures taken with the Nokia phone camera and always know where and when they were taken.
