I have to say that my initial good first impressions of the new Nokia N78 handset are starting to turn to frustration. I have been using the handset in anger for the last few days.. and I am getting so annoyed with the keypad design.

Here are some sample photos I've taken with the 3.2 Megapixel camera of the new Nokia N78 in my back garden today. Just for comparison I also took the same picture using a 5.0 Megapixel Nokia N82.
The Nokia N78 pictures are on the left and Nokia N82 on the right. As you can see for only a 3.2 megapixel camera they aren't half bad. One thing that you will notice is that the colours don't seem as bright as those of the ... Read More
