N78

Will the N79 fare better then the often forgotten N78.

   

Today I was looking through Nokias site and completely forgot about the N79.  The candy bar phone with Xpress on covers.  The design is simple yet the specifications are immense.  The phone has a 5 MP Carl Zeiss, GPS, 2.4″ 16million color display, 3.5mm headphone jack, most if not all the features available with the N85 and N96.  But will this phone succeed or will it be left in the dust trails of the more popular N85, N96 and Xpress Music 5800?

N78: Bastard Child of the N-series

   

I’ve been using the Nokia N78 for the past weeks courtesy of WOM WORLD/Nokia and come to realize that this is a phone that doesnt belong in the N-series line.  It has all the bells, whistles and style of an N-series device, yet just doesnt seem like a phone built with the same standards as the highly successful N95, N82 and others.  Ive always enjoyed the designs of most of the N-series devices until the N78.  Its important to stress that I did try getting used to this device and failed.  I hope that this break down gives a better view on what the N78 has to offer.

Rediscovering SportsTracker With The N78

   

One of the things I have been wanting to do for quite a while now is extensively try out the latest version of the multifaceted ‘Sports Tracker’ application. Like I’ve said earlier , since the time it first came out, it has undergone so much change and improvements that ’sportstracker’ is an understatement and well, a little misleading and because of this a lot of us fail to put it to its best use which is not sports but recording a trek/trip.

N78 Unboxing Pictures + the new “Nokia Tune” Ringtone ready to download

Who doesn’t know it, the catchy “Nokia Tune” ringtone that is preinstalled on every Nokia phone? It’s probably the most famous existing ringtone and in my opinion a really nice one.
Of course Nokia is constantly developing their mobile phones and the upcoming Nokia phone line seems to have also a “developed Nokia Tune” ringtone inside.

N78 spotted with Blue, White and Black Back Covers

I have posted about the N78 being seen dressed in a nice completely white coloured front and back cover. The picture was apparently just a quickly edited press picture of the normal black variant with inverted colours, realized by a picture editing software.
However, Nokia has just updated the N78 product page which shows now the [...]

Nokia Conversations caught up with Danial Dhondt, designer of the upcoming N96 and Joeske Schellen, designer of the soon-to-launch N78. In this series of two videos, they chat about the collaborative process of designing Nokia devices and what goes into giving a phone a sense of identity.

In the second video, they talk about the role of sustainability in design and how the smallest design details can often be the most significant ones. (Video after the break)
