Nokia N78 - the latest handset released by Nokia. This time it’s launched in India with offering the same function like in all over the world.

N78 is successor of N77 model, which still being sold in all world markets. N95 released in India offers exactly the same features like elsewhere. The N78 was first announced in February, during 2008, together with Nokia N96, which should be released somewhere in August.

N78 design is really not unique one. It’s not as attractive as other Nokias Nseries designs, having a classic candybar form factor. The only thing that actually stands out is its semi-flat keypad that, although it looks too small for a proper use, it’s friendlier than it appears to be.

While the design is not its strong side, the N78 can impress with its features. N78 offer us a great Symbian S60 3.2 operating system, GPS, Nokia Maps and Wi-Fi is great like in other N series devices, a 2.4 inch TFT display with 16 million colors and a QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels) makes a brilliant first impress about his device. Also, there is a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, auto focus, flash. We can say that N78 provides almost everything what someone can want from phones photo camera.

India can be glad that they can sell N78 for lowest price in the world 19,999 INR (470 USD or 300 Euros). In Finland, N78 was sold by the 700 USD or 450 Euros and it’s much more.

At the moment, N78 is released in only some of worlds countries, but with the time, N78 device should hit all important worlds markets.

Nokia just released new Firmware update for North America N95 users. Update give more speed, more applications and, of course, much more improvements on the N95 device.

First of all, let’s clear it out that means N95-3. We all know that Nokia released N95 in Europe - it’s also know as N95-1. N95-2 is official version of N95 8GB in Europe. And finally N95-3 is N95 official released in North America, this update is just for North America users, that why we call it N95-3 in here. Moreover, N95-4 is official North America N95 8GB phone.

Let’s talk about update, first of all, Firmware update brings more speed to N95-3, for example not boot-up time for device is less that 20 seconds and camera now starts in only 2 seconds. It’s great win and great new to all N95-3 owners.

Update also include support for Flash Lite 3. That means that now users can watch Flash video directly from the Web, for example: from Youtube or other same nature web places.

Moreover, the new firmware brings an improved “Search” application, N-Gage demos and other games like “Midnight Pool”, “Lumines Puzzle Fusion”, “Brain Challenge”, “Sudoku” and “JellyPOP”.

There are no clearly details when Nokia release update for N95 8GB of North America, but it should happen soon too.

Nokia N93, together with N90, N92 and N93i models, are ones of the most weirdly designed phones. Not only by Nokia, but by any other mobile phones producer in the world. But direction of an Nokia office doesn’t care too much about that and promising that N93-like phone maybe will be released about 2010.

Since 2010 Nokia doesn’t plan to release any phone like N93 and till then are no clearly details about that. But if Nokia do not release any N93-like phone until 2010, it is possible that we will never see again that weird but nice design of N93. And N90, N92, N93 and N93i owners probably will be a bit disappointed because they might will never see up-to-date successor of they current devices.

Released in 2006, Nokia N93 was the most advanced multimedia device at the time, offering to us a great 3.2 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and auto focus ability, flash and high-quality (DVD-like) video recording. Moreover, its camcorder-like form factor allowed users to open it in three ways, depending on what features they wanted to use: phone-only, messaging/emails, or photo/video camera.

It would be nice that Nokia release a successor of N93i in next year or years. Of course it would be the the great victory for Nokia and to all N93i fans and owners.

I guess Nokia phones are most cloned devices ever. Irony is there, that Nokia do not even released N96, but someone already done it for Nokia. Of course it is jokes, but it’s a reality too.

The identical N96 comes from China. It’s really no surprise here, because China like to clone phones one by one. They offer this handset only for 249$ for those who are intrested in this.

Chinese presented this device as a “best mobile phone released out there”. Also, producer of the phone said that is a “fashionable PDA“, but I guess it will be a surprise then producers will get to know that N96 is not a PDA.

If we take a look what this clone is offering for us, we’ll realize that is far from the real N96, which should hit the markets in August. Clone include: tri-band GSM connectivity, a 3.0 inch diagnol screen with 262K colors and a 320 x 240 pixel resolution and I can say that this is very far from the real N96 functions.  Stereo Bluetooth, dual 3D speakers, FM radio, embedded games is also integrated in N96-like device. 2 Mega pixels camera with flash and video recording make us to laugh if we’ll take a look at real N96, which is offering 6 Mega pixels. Moreover, clone support these languages: Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and so on…

Limited tri-band GSM connectivity do not allow to use this device in North America, so I guess there are no people, who wish to get this clone.

I guess Nokia really enjoy the N series phones with white color. They recently released N78 white version.

Information was revealed at official Spanish Nokia website, there is announced the white Nokia N78 will come after two more white phones: N82 and N95. It’s really nice to see that Finnish giant breaking the settled rules with black phones.

Together with N96, N78 is the 2008 hit, which comes in market at the summer. While N96 is in main target of markets and is most waiting phone, N78 should see daylight a bit earlyier.

White N78 goes with these features: talking about connectivities in N78 we’ll see quad-band GSM connectivity, dual-band 3G / HSDPA connectivity, which gives an ability to work in Europe and in USA too, Wi-Fi and A-GPS, GPS. Now let’s take a look at screen of the device: 2.4 inch diagnol with over than 16 million colors and 240 x 320 pixels is really enjoyable,  Media player with many supported formats, 3.5mm audio jack, stereo FM radio and FM transmitter, “push to talk” technology. Photo camera of the phones still great: 3.2 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, flash, auto focus and video, 70MB of interior memory and microSD card support for up to 8GB. Weight of the handset is only 101 grams, measures 113 x 49 x 15.1 millimeters and includes a Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery capable of providing up to 4.3 hours of talk-time and up to 320 hours of stand-by time.

White N78 should really be an attractive phone to all users. White color breaks the settled rules of black phones and gives N78 more alluring appearance.

If you was asking yourself which phone camera and which phone photo quality is the best - all answers is here. Nokia N82 won the “Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2008” award by the most important photo and imaging press association in Europe, TIPA (Technical Image Press Association). N82 got this award for already known fact - brilliant N series device bring the best photo camera ever.

Nokia N82 uses Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash. N82 camera also includes these functions and characteristics: 20x digital zoom, auto focusing and 5 Mega Pixels camera. With help of Xenon flash and auto focus ability, Nokia N82 can take quality photos at any time: it can be day or night, can be winter or summer this not a obstacle for N82.

Talking about the award winning phone’s camera, the TIPA jurors said, “This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots.”

Juha Kokkonen, Director for Nokia Nseries devices, proudly declared, “We are very excited to hear that the Nokia N82 has been recognized for its excellent imaging features. The Nokia N82 is an excellent example of how converged devices entirely change the way people contribute to and share on the internet by combining strong camera capabilities with built-in A-GPS and an array of connectivity features.”

At the moment Nokia N82 cost about 300-400 Euros and with this award it can still in markets much, much longer. By the way, maybe this is a sign that N96 should use Xenon flash too ?
