The more I find out about this little gem the more excited I get. The possibility of me being able to afford it is a different story but a boy can dream can’t he?

Now as you can see in my previous post, Virgin Mobile told me that they have the Nokia N78 in stock, however, a Nokia representative contacted me this morning and it seems the N78 will only be available here from October this year. I have a sneaking suspicion that Virgin Mobile were confusing the N78 and N73 although the call center were pretty confident when I called them to inquire about the N78. However I’m going to go with what Nokia and said and I only expect the N78 to available from mid October from the major service providers in the country.

Nokia were kind enough to send me more information and images of the N78 so that I could give them to you!

Key features include:

• Integrated A-GPS
• Audio playback time up to 24 hours
• Music player with integrated FM transmitter (88.1 –107.9 MHz)
• CMOS 3.2 megapixel (2048 x 1536) autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, LED flash and up to 20x digital zoom. Automatic tagging with capture location. (GeoCoding)
• 2.4″ QVGA (240 x 320) display with 16 million colors
• Mobile broadband with WLAN and HSDPA
• Multimedia menu and NaviTMwheel for accessing content
• Take up to 1500* tracks with you on a pre-fitted 2GB memory card
• Access your images, music, podcasts and videos remotely via the web

Below are two attachments for you to have a look at:

I am still awaiting replies from MTN and Cell C but as I previously said, I’m going with what Nokia themselves are telling me. I’ll post more information if I get any.
