It's my first day with this phone, and I'd like to second whomever said GPS can be used without a SIM card. The SIM card isn't needed to connect to the internet, either (if Wi-Fi's available).
---------
For a 3G connection though, the card is needed... which is why I took the SIM out, since I CAN'T GET IT -NOT- TO Connect to 3G automatically. Any Help? My service provider charges a costly fee for this 3G connection, and I don't want it! I don't even need it! (there's Wi-Fi almost everywhere in the city I live in).
I didn't get the iPhone because I've seen how difficult it is to prevent the 3G connection (a lot of my friends and relatives have iPhones here in Mexico), and I didn't want to add accidental 3G fees to the already expensive iPhone price.
----------
Besides all that, the phone is really good. I've used the few hours I've had it to explore most of its key features (haven't gotten around to trying the FM transmitter).
- The keypad is, as has been said, really not as bad as it looks like. In fact, it's not bad at all.
I found typing and dialing quite easy despite my own predisposition to not liking the keypad, so there...
- Organizing your media is easy, and the 2GB do for me. (Go bigger if you plan to exchange it for your iPod)
- The only design issue (4ME) is that the camera has no protector, as it did in the N73, which I owned and loved until it got stolen after 8+ months of use.
- I fixed the fingerprint problem with a plastic, transparent layer (I have more of those from a speaker I bought which had numerous randomly sized plastic protectors) Search for those, and get rid of the fugly fingerprints (not 100% effective, but I'd say 70% cleaner).

Launch the browser (Web), hit Options, choose Settings, then General, then change the "Access point" setting to "Always ask" (or to your WLAN access point, if you never user it elsewhere than home).
You can also set specific access points individually for bookmarks.

I have a local network defined as priority 1 but still find that web browsing uses the provider network rather than my LAN ?

Yes it will work. No A-GPS though without a sim card, which means longer lock on times.

Hold down the hash key, move the direction pad and choose copy from the softkey. Note this only works for editable text. For a message you have received use forward and copy from there.

Does the MicroSD support SDHC cards?
|
I believe ALL new Nokia smartphones support SDHC, and some of the older models have had SDHC support added through firmware updates too.

music
the n95 would connect if using assisted gps for a fast fix. This can be disabled so i would assume so here.
Another question, the n95 supports protected wma files (i use it with a napster subscription), does the n78?

Two quick questions on the N78:
1 - Does the MicroSD support SDHC cards?
2 - Does the GPS require the phone to be connected to the internet to operate, or will it work regardless of connection (in the UK)? (I'm sure I read that the N95 GPS needed to connect before GPS worked)
Many thanks,

Sound quality (my opinion)
Just a quick note:
I tried a N78 vs. my N82 for sound quality. I used a pair of Shure ES 530's as the test headphones. if anyone knows headphones, the ES530's are top of the line and very accurate. I could hear no discernable difference. From jazz, to classical, pop (yuck), and alternative, the sound was about the same. No need to upgrade just for the music player.
By the way, Psiloc has a product called connect, that will allow you to create multiple access points, and then prioritize them. All applications see the one Psiloc access point (be it WLAN, 3G, etc...) and deteremines which is the better option to use. It costs but it is very robust.

The batterylife is noticably better that the N95 (I have no numbers though). It is pretty stable, more stable than the N95 when it was released (I also own the N95 for over a year now).
The call log icon problem is still there..
It does not charge through the micro usb connector.
BTW, maybe this thread should be moved to the N78 category?
