N82 vs. N78: Which one to get? - June 25, 2008
If the Nokia N78 was released at just about the same time as the N82 was, I’d have a hard time in choosing which Symbian smartphone to get. Here’s just some pros and cons of both phones for those who are considering getting one or the other:
Pros of the Nokia N82:
Xenon Flash, as opposed the LED flash on the N785 Megapixels vs. 3 MegapixelsTV-Out cable support (the 3.5mm jack to the Component cable, so you can show the N82 screen on a TV)Accelerometer – potential for accelerometer-supported games on N-Gage? RotateMe and ShakeLock support. Coolness factor 
Pros of the Nokia N78:
Symbian S60 FP2 – which provides new features, such as nice looking transition animations, a larger range of standby screens, a more convenient interface in general.A larger capacity battery – 1200mAh against the N82′s 1050mAh. This should translate to a longer standby time.Built-in FM Transmitter, so you can beam all those tunes to a empty radio station and annoy all the other cars around you on the highway.Up to 24 hours of Music Playback (quoted by Nokia) vs. N82′s max of 12 hours or so
That’s about all the major differences on the Nokia N78 and the Nokia N82. And here’s just a few words from me if the specs don’t mean a lot to you: if you’re looking for a powerful, all-in-one device that is slightly future-proof as well as being able to replace your MP3 player, your camera, your PDA, then by all means go for the Nokia N82. It can perform all these duties admirably and efficiently, with some getting used to on the user’s part. Otherwise, consider the N78 – it should be more than enough for the average user.
And an indication of the prices:
Suggested retail price of the Nokia N82: HK$4188 (US$536, GBP 272, 344 Euros)
Suggested retail price of the Nokia N78: HK$3988 (US$511, GBP 259, 328 Euros)
