Before I hit the hay on Friday night, I want to point out Jonathan Greene’s blog article Nokia N78 – Feature Pack 2 and plenty to love. This is a great first look at the newest N-Series phone and includes a nearly 20 minute long video of him putting the N78 through its paces.
He has a lot deeper knowledge of the Nokia N-Series handset line than I do. I can tell this because he talks in depth about the new features in the N78 that stem from Symbian S60 Feature Pack 2. He explains that the software is more user-friendly than that which has been included on phones like the N95. He’s right.
He also points out correctly that the N95 is intended for a technology-savvy person, while the N78 is aimed at someone who wants many of the same features but with fewer controls and complex options.
I’ve only gotten about 40 percent of the way through the video he shot. I’ll have to pick that up again in the morning. If you are interested in a well done first look at the device, check out Jonathan’s article.
