Nokia N78 available

[casanova]

Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Device Manager

Click on options and choose updates. It will prompt you that you there might be data charges. Connect. Click on yes.

It would search for the upgrade and download it. This is a 2-3 MB download and shouldn't cost you much.

Make sure that your battery is fully charged. If you wish to try your luck, ask the Nokia care if they would do it for you.

I would be visiting the nokia care tomorrow or might be today evening.

hey fellas...

can i have ur opininon on n78's keypad? only from those who actually own a piece. thanks

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Yes, i was also worried about the Keypad

The Keys are fine Only problem is with the Keys on the right. The one of Player and stuff, the key above it and disconnect one. All are too cramped in

[casanova]

I feel annoyed only with the C key and that too only at times.

I went to Nokia care and they enabled the FM transmitter. They re-updated the firmware for this to happen. They had returned me my sim and memory card during this. The data in phone was lost. The data kept in phone was my contacts and call logs. These were lost but I already had a backup so no issues. The call timers were reset as well.

Sukhdeep, incase you haven't updated ur firmware don't do it coz they would have to reupdate it anyways.

I am yet to test the FM transmitter.

How is n78 for playing games? do the keypad and nav keys support fast gameplay?

The fact that n78 doesn't have even a single game onboard is a big minus. hope ngage support comes soon. need ur views fast guys!

[casanova]

N78 already has ngage support so you can expect good gaming support.

^ what do they mean by that? am confused

r the soft keys awkward when it comes to playing games?

[casanova]

My bad. I don't game on phones, I would have missed out some word while reading it somewhere.

I have checked the fm transmitter and the range is too little.

Thanks, i updated Firmware using Wifi yesterday still no Change

I have got firmware of 5700 and 5610 updated twice so i know the procedure....just dont find time

[casanova]

Yes, OTA upgrade doesn't enable the option. You would need to take your cell to Nokia care. They would reupdate ur firmware to enable the transmitter. Read Post# 34.

Be prepared with a backup

How long did they take to do this update? And also did you test the FM Transmitter yet? How is the clarity?

How are you talking about updating via GPRS ??

To get this software through your Nokia N78, click Menu > Tools > Utilities > Device Manager. Select Options > Check for updates and follow the on-screen prompts. Remember that you can also use Wi-Fi to download the update.

This software release is available though either the Nokia Software Updater or directly through your Nokia N78.

They updated the firmware in 20 minutes. The FM transmitter is working fine and the clarity is good. But the range is too less.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Ok i got the Firmware updated aswell and i now have FM transmitter option

The quality is good but like casanova said range is only very very few metres...but no worries, i am happy with it

[hurricane25]

In uk at l8shop this is about £294.95.

[casanova]

Audio of N78 speakers is good but low. But the audio quality is great when using earphones.

The voice clarity and network is simply superb.

Don't know about the price falls. Rather don't want to know.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Only thing i dont like about this cell is placement of clear key. Too dificult to reeach when typing message and using right thumb
