Reviews of the Nokia N78 (unlocked)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Nokia N78 features a 3.2-megapixel camera and integrated GPS for navigation and geotagging capabilities. The smartphone also offers U.S. 3G support, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
The Bad: The N78 didn't have the best call quality, nor did it produce great pictures. It's also expensive.
The Bottom Line: As with all Nokia N series smartphones, the Nokia N78 impresses with its high-end features, especially the new geotagging tool, but we were slightly disappointed by the spotty call quality.

Review Summary: The Symbian-based Nokia N78 is a solid unlocked alternative to the popular RIM BlackBerry Pearl, but it lags behind other Nokia smartphones in value.
