The phone was awesome the first month i had it, and then the 4th month..

Why because i had no problems, until my speaker went dead… no prob o well i still got the other one, wait…. this is under warranty, yup fixed… i got sent a new phone… brand new… how nice, no wait after 2 or so months the speaker goes out, then the other the phone is useless i cant hear it ring i cant listen to music… The phone is shit…. i sent it in for repair again, but this time there is no warranty and they want me to pay $64 for repair… F-That… Im getting a totally NEW DIFFERENT BRAND! My first nokia phone was a dud! and Im never coming back….

Speakers die fast, phone is glitchy… NOT a Happy customer.

The only good thing I can say about N78 is that is has a relatively long battery life.

Some of the cons (there are many more):
* Menu system totally f-cked up. Impossible to find anything. How about a submenu called “Tools” inside the menu “Tools”? Even the simplest tasks are very hard to find.
* Camera software hangs
* Shortcut keys change randomly during the course of a conversation.
* Phone refuses to display name of caller for some phone numbers, despite having them in the phonebook
* Phone often hangs and the only way to resume is to click “No” until you’re at the main screen, abandoning your task.
* Keypad and navigation buttons very hard to use. Buttons are so small and close that you get random commands.
* Icons on main screen are only a few pixels large, cannot see them
* Stupid presentation of text messages, date and time cannot be found unless using several submenus
* Phone hangs often and you repeat pressing buttons. When phone “wakes up” it uses your clicks to start random commands.

After these experiences I will stay away from Nokia products in the future.

I have the same problem with my speaker. The sound that only works is the keypad tone. How’s the speaker issue got fixed? by software upgrade or by taking it to Nokia Service Centre?

I ended up selling the n78, didn’t want the right speaker to go then I wouldn’t evenhave a ringer on the damn phone, so I ended up buying an E-75 yes another Nokia, this phone is pretty good it was only a few $$ more than the n78 and it’s far more stable faster and built much better also has a full keypad and SIP!!
which is what I originally wanted. The SIP feature is the best feature of all, only draw back is the E-series do not have the home connect feature which I do miss.

N78 … wht to say guys..
i also have same type of issues as u all have.
my left speaker died two times during my warranty period.
usually its hangs when i open the nokia maps !!! (thts weird)
but the good thing is it restarts when it hangs…
atleast i dun have to remove the battery and put it back..
one time my network crash too.. it always gave me network error message when i tried to make a call. after sending it for service, its working now.
i dun know when its gng to fail again..
