Things you should know before you buy Nokia N78 Series

That A-GPS only work in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia. What about if you want to go traveling to Bali or Jogjakarta, forget that digital maps! Just buy the printed one.

For you who love to playing around with keypads (read: SMS junkie) please be careful since it comes with a rare type one. It is small and pretty narrow when we compare it to general cellphone keypad out there. However, Nokia also give you a D-Pad which can act like a scrolling wheel too.

The camera is pretty hot. You’ll be supported by Carl Zeiss optic and Tessar lens. Awesome! You may save your pictures in JPEG or EXIF file formats.

For download junkies, though technically it will give you a 3,6 Mbps transfer rate, I hope you will always be patient when the network doesn’t give you as much as its promise. Hey, isn’t a common problem if there such an error in Indonesian network, is it?

Okay that’s the things you should know. If you really want to buy this series at lower price, I suggest you to wait for about six to 10 month after its launch time.

Thanks for coming! Enjoy your shopping ….
