One of the main disadvantages of Windows Phone devices is that at the moment they do not offer Wi-Fi connectivity. The feature is actually a built-in feature, but because of FCC regulations it got disabled on the handsets. That’s the reason why the manufacturers are offering various software updates, which will help enable it.

The current list of Wi-Fi disabled devices includes the latest launches of the manufacturer, that is the Nokia 710 and the Nokia 800 Lumia, which is something unexpected.

Nokia’s response is the following: ”Microsoft takes very seriously meeting (and exceeding) the requirements outlined by agencies such as the FCC in the USA. They felt it was really important to fully address the concerns raised by recent FCC regulations before enabling this feature and are optimistic they can deliver on these requirements though a software update and are working diligently on that now.”

Most likely this issue has to deal with the charges assigned by the carriers (tethering allows to take some extra charges from their customers). There are rumors that unlocked versions of the devices will allow to use Wi-Fi update as soon as they get their software update.

The residents of the UK have got a chance to buy Nokia 5800 at Nokia’s official online shop 50 pounds cheaper than the original price.

There is no doubt that the 5800 is the best music device of the manufacturer. This phone is equipped with a 3.5 inch touch screen, 3.2 Mpx camera, supports 3.5G networks and Wi-Fi.

As Nokia 5800 is a music device, it is not a surprise that the phone has 8 GB of internal memory which can be extended up to 16 GB.This means you can save about  8000 high quality songs in this handset.

Untill this moment Nokia 5800 costed 299 pounds. In addition, the owners will get one year free account for downloading music.
Considering the fact, that a price of a CD is within 9-16.99$, it’s a good deal for music lovers.

Chinese mobile phone makers do not forget about Nokia and continue to create products under the brand name of the Finnish manufacturer. Another forgery is called Nokia N93.
This clone does not even try to imitate the original model, but hopes that potential buyers will be attracted with the help of its design. It is worth noting the creativity of the producer who used the Nokia logo in the caption of the Android operating system. The Chinese Nokia N93 is made in a mono block form factor, which has simple technical characteristics, and the user interface has the elements of the iPhone interface.
The Chinese Nokia N93 supports GSM network and is equipped with 2.8-inch touch screen with a resolution of 240×320 pixels, 1.3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth, as well as a slot for memory cards of microSD format. Dual-SIM function is supported.
The cost of this Chinese Nokia N93 is unknown.

Truly, the appearance of the N-series handset has never been considered attractive. It is rather associated with the aerodynamic weight of the formula 1 fireballs, which is kind of scary, but obviously achieves the maximum results. “Chronic diseases” of N-series drift away with an enviable constancy from one model to another. This primarily concerns to the size and the weight. As for the Nokia N78 it will refer to the indicators of 113x49x15.1 mm and of 102 grams of a selected plastic. Comparing to its other competitors of the line (N73, N82), it looks more advantageous, thinner and lighter.

It’s said that the N78 carries the standard of the N-series display. It is distinctive by its modern performance and the high consumer possibilities. In other words, 2.4-inch screen displays up to 16 million colors (24 bit) and has a QVGA resolution (240×320 pixels).

Built-in light sensor saves the power of the battery by controlling the backlight keyboard and the display brightness.

However, in any mode, the information is not only readable but also comfortable to work with. In case you are not satisfied with the proposed automatic settings, you can set the assignment manually.

With its quality screen, the phone becomes more usable for watching videos and surfing the Internet, not to mention the other more simple tasks (showing up to 8 text and 3 service lines). In addition, the font size is configurable. And although it is more a property platform, the display also looks great on that background.

Menu and Functions

When Nokia N95 emerged, a very interesting phone in all its senses, it was even more fun to keep track of its followers. Later on, some devices began to appear with the functions partly borrowed from N95, and later almost complete counterparts. So N78 can be worth saying to be the successor of the ideas embodied in the N95. However, the new product wouldn’t be as it was, if not the already mentioned feature of N78 in the Feature Pack 2.

This is not just a cosmetic upgrade of S60, but a serious improvement, and in some cases almost a complete processing of features of the platform. It’s simply enough to list the new elements to make it clear what work has already been done. The Interface has been worked out (labels on the main screen can be hidden, and placed vertically or horizontally, the contact picture is displayed on the entire screen during the incoming and the outgoing calls, animation, menus, and so on), the multimedia menu, phonebook, messages, calendar, and so forth.

Photo and video galleries

The usual gallery in the new version of the operating system has been replaced by the capture of “Photos” allowing working more conveniently with the snapshots stored in the phone memory.

The snapshots are sorted by months, albums and geometers. The last innovation is mostly interesting. If the corresponding function is enabled in the camera’s menu, when taking a picture, a location label is added, and later on it can be viewed on the map where the picture is taken. This can be also viewed in Sony Ericsson C702i, C902 and Samsung G810 mobile phones.

With the help of the new application, working with the photos was not only easier but also faster. “Carousel menu” allows you to view more photos, and also have an easier navigation.

Communicational possibilities

In connection with the outside worlds Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR takes its place in the Nokia N78 (with support of Stereo Audio or AD2P), plug Micro USB (USB 2.0 High-Speed), WLAN adapter 802.11b / g. Internet access is carried out by means of HSDPA, WCDMA, EGPRS (EDGE), GPRS, HSCSD, CSD. Today it is the most comprehensive set of communicational possibilities. It is also worth mentioning the 3.5 mm headphone jack and AV-out. Well that’s for the fans.

The Wi-Fi Wizard can monitor the available networks in the background. The phone checks the possibility of the working web sites before the network falls into the list of the available ones.

In case in the stored group of points (for example, “Airport”) which web site was previously available, but now appeared unavailable, the phone automatically tries all the given points. Unfortunately, as happened before, the abolition of the connection with the point is able to drive the phone in complete stupor, until the restart of the device through a transient disconnection of the battery. Similar problems occur during loading the pages via a built-in internet browser (by the way, as always, it has a very high quality).

Music

The music possibility of N78 nowadays is the collection of everything available on the market of mobile phones. All of them are collected in the corresponding menu. One of the interesting features noted is the FM-transmitter. After activating it at a certain frequency, one can listen to the audio collection of the phone on any receiver. With the guests or even in the car, this simply would brighten up the entertainment. However, in the case of the N78, somehow the power of the transmitter slipped up. That is, in a car, equipped with Kenwood high-quality tape recorder and external antenna on the front desk, catching the phone can only be in a blast. Frustrating! As a result, listening to the music was almost impossible.

Other possibilities are presented in a music player supporting lots of formats. There is a built-in FM-Radio (Visual Radio), Internet radio (using Wi-Fi), podcasting, and music shop.

Camera

The camera installed in the N78 can be called a logical continuation of the module in Nokia N73. This primarily concerns to the increase of sensitivity – F2.8/4.6 against F2.8/5.6 in N73.

A small, but quite a progressive step forward is connected with Carl Zeiss optics which increases the quality of photos. The module itself, if we talk in numbers, has enough standards for this kind of device: 3.2-megapixel CMOS-matrix with autofocus, the minimum focusing distance of 10 cm.

Shooting modes are available in the Print 3M – Large (2048×1536), Print 2M – Large (1600×1200), Print / e-mail 0.8M – Small (1024×768), Multimedia message 0.3M (640×480), the size of received files ranges from 1MB to 100KB respectively . Supported formats include JPEG / Exif.

Conclusion

The new N78 device, nowadays, in terms of program plans, is the most advanced software solution from Nokia. Unfortunately, from both sides of that model enclose the veteran model N73 and relatively new N82, similar to the functional set, and occasionally exceeding N78. In many respects the choice is reinforced by the high price of N78, again in comparison with the previous models. Absolutely in favor of the new items plays a great role the nice design, the new operating system, the high positioning of the manufacturer. As for models from other manufacturers, here the N78 is in impressive isolation, with nothing to compare with.

The Battery of BL-6F with the capacity of 1200 mAh allows N78 to carry on in the night mode, the active use of the Internet (2 hours), GPS (3 hours) and additional features and a small (up to 30 minutes) of talk time. This is quite a serious indicator for a phone of this class. More tender treatment N78 battery will be discharged in 2-3 days.

As a result, N78 can be named as a great gift to all the fans of serious techniques. Smartphone turned out to be good, but should compare its requirements, and in case most of the functions of the new phone are left out, it should be thought over the other phones of Nseries.
