Nokia N96 and N78: Hands-on with Nokia's new Ns

By Andrew Lim on 11 February 2008, 5:14pm

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, seems to be Nokia's mantra du jour and this phone -- the N78 -- does bear a strong resemblance to the N82. It's part of the N7 family, though, which is why it looks like a cross between the two.

It shares many features with the N82, including Wi-Fi, HSDPA (3.5G) and GPS. But that's where the similarities end and the interesting differences pop their heads out.

Unlike the N82, this handset is set up to geotag your pictures -- when you take a picture it uses the GPS receiver to figure out where you are and attaches that information to the photo.

The N78 also boasts an FM transmitter, which allows you to transmit music to the nearest FM radio. Essentially you're setting up a mini radio station, so there might be some regulatory trouble in the UK, but we're glad Nokia has done it and think it's going to be great for car journeys.

Update: a Nokia N78 hands-on video is now on the site
