Nokia N78 at CTIA 2008

We spent some time with the Nokia N78 today, which was originally announced at Mobile World Congress a couple of months ago. The update to the venerable and very successful Nokia N73 (review), the N78 runs the latest version of Symbian Series 60. The phone has a few updates compared to its predecessor but has also taken a step back and stood still in some areas.

Nokia N78 with US 3G revealed on FCC
Added on 2008-03-12 09:47:00
by Alfredo Padilla

The FCC gods just gave us a nice little tidbit in the form of the Nokia N78 with U.S. 3G support. The N78 was announced at Mobile World Congress (blog post) in early February and is the successor to Nokia's wildly successful (overseas at least) N73 (read review) handset. It features a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera, Xenon flash, GPS and sports a style that is now familiar in Nokia's new handsets as we've see in the Nokia N82 (read review) and Nokia N81 (read review). Whether you like this style is of course a personal matter, but frankly we've got concerns about the move to small fiddly keypads.

Of course the most interesting bit here is support for AT&T's 3G network bands. Nokia's move to start supporting North America 3G first started with their N75 (read review) for AT&T and they then released their flagship N95 with U.S. 3G (read review) late last year. It looks like this trend is continuing and we're sure that anyone who was lusting after the Nokia N78 is going to be extra excited about the inclusion of 3G support. Of course Nokia already announced they were going to do this, but it's nice to get confirmation. If you want links to all the FCC goodies you'll find them after the break.

Run Palm OS on Nokia Internet Tablets
Added on 2007-11-14 02:51:00

If the Nokia N Series UI fails to impress you (boy are you picky) then you can opt for Palm OS. The best part? You don’t have to rely on your hacking skills, as it is an official Access release and won’t cost you a dime. The software is available in Beta for now and supports the Nokia, N770, N800 and N810 Internet Tablets.


"ACCESS is leveraging our work on the ACCESS Linux Platform(TM) which includes Garnet VM as one of three runtime environments along with Java(TM) and native Linux," said Didier Diaz, senior vice president product strategy management, ACCESS Systems Americas, Inc. "This reinforces the value of Garnet OS-based applications to consumers and creates an all-around win: it will allow Nokia users to access the thousands of great applications Running under Garnet OS; it will give. our loyal developers a larger installed base of devices; and it will enable ACCESS to fine-tune Garnet VM based on customer feedback."

Nokia To Announce New Device
Added on 2007-11-12 04:29:00
by Tanya Palta

Time to play the waiting game since Nokia has put a count down counter on its N-Series website. So what does this entail? Our guess is  a spanking new N-82 which has already made various unofficial appearances on the net.

Nokia's new software simplifies Mac syncing
Added on 2007-06-08 10:23:00
by Randall Bennett

Nokia has made some real progress with their new sync software for Mac, Nokia Media Transfer 1.0.  Ridiculously boring name aside, the software is actually pretty amazing and makes syncing between your Nokia phone and iTunes and iPhoto a snap.  The software creates a new folder iCon (sorry, we had to) in both iTunes and iPhoto.  Then, drag your fav playlists and photo albums into the folder, click sync and you're on the road with no messy mass storage issues to manage.

As an aside, if you want to finish fully syncing your phone, be sure to use iSync to sync contacts, calendars and tasks.

We just installed Nokia's software at the office, and are really impressed with the quality.  So far, we've only used it to sync two devices in the last ten minutes, so we'll let you know if we find any issues with it as we continue to tinker. The software makes syncing phones as simple as syncing any other portable media player, which is definitely a good thing.

PS -- It's still in beta, so consider yourself warned.  Download it from Nokia's site.
