Thanks Mark!
You say that the n78 has a NA variant that's coming to AT&T but I can't get anyone at AT&T to confirm this. Can you give us any more information on this?
Further, if it were to come to AT&T, would we get it in its current form (full of features) or are they going to castrate it?
Meaning that it will WORK on US3G, (which we will also hope will include T-Mob in the near future) but it was not designed to be SOLD exclusively by AT&T, or nothing has been said for sure.
hope that helps!
Best,
Jambo
I hope that what the 78 lacks from the 82, it makes up for in the US Market with the 3G and the FM transmitter, a built in feature that even on the 5th or 6th build of iPods, it still isn't incorporated!
N82 has (and N78 has not):
-accelerometer
-5 mpx camera with lens cover, 30fps VGA videos
-omap 2420 processor(see a youtube comparison between n81 & n95 and you´ll see the difference, btw n81 same processor as n78 and n95 as n82)
-TV out
N78 has (and N82 has not):
-FM transmitter and RDS radio
-1200mAh battery
-fp2 (but this is rumored to be solved in a future N82 firmware update-source mobile review)
I was to buy a N78 but I have bought a N82, it´s a better phone hands down.
What marked are you in?
I've not had the chance to try it, but I think that it's gonna take a bit to convince me...
I loved the N82!
shiny bulky one inclination or the other well i think that it all depends on your life style n82 could be a load and n73 has its limitations but both phones have there personalities as the user compare and match and life on
I previously owned a NOkia N82 until it got stolen. I really loved the phone...until i saw the N78. So the camera and xenon flash has been downgraded....and tv-out (which i hardly used) i suppose if u use the phone as ur main camera/video recorder (hence require 5mp camera) then u wd also require tv-out to view ur photos/video quickly.... so its the N78 for me...and the looks/form factor simply blows the N82 out of the water.
@nabeel: yes I cd view youtube vids on my N82 using the wifi connection.
i dont like on my N82, the red spot finder (i dont know how to turn it off), and set by default all photos without flash. I use to take close photos to my 2 yr old daughter and is very unconfortable to set off flash on every shot.
i was using my "old" sony cybershot 2Mb pix i guess, but is nice to take +20 shots in a series without worry about setting flash, autofocus delays, etc, etc. why not k.i.s.s.?
the other features are not useful for me.
i live in southamerica. high speed telephony is VERY expensive and not worth for me.
*when u see the screen in outdoor, N78 certainly win compare to N82 in brightness and resistance to sun glare
*N78 has navy wheel
*N78 gps works better compare to N82.
N78 over N82
-Better screen (clarity, brightness etc.)
-fp2 (though n82 might get it soon)
-better audio quality
-navi wheel
-far better gps
-better processor (369 mhz to 330 mhz)
N82 over N78
-accelorometer
-far better camera
-more available RAM (128mb to 96mb)
-more practical keypad

I would personally take the N78. It is a far better phone except for the camera, in which case the N82 is your preferred option.
