We like:
HSDPA; GPS; Wi-Fi; 3.5mm headphone jack
We don't like:
Navigation key isn't as easy to use as we expected; camera could be better
CNET UK judgement:
The N78 isn't a bad phone by any means but it's not as easy to use as we'd hoped for. While the range of features makes it exciting, the occasionally fiddly navigation key and 3.2-megapixel camera had us yearning for something a little more refined
