Nokia N78



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Clear image, load of functions.
Cons: Unstable software, phone surface needs constant cleaning, speaker always faulty.
Opinion:
I was very impressed with the phone when I got it. But have to send it for repair three times within two months. After repair, it came back with faulty camera.

main problems with phone are unstable software, speaker faulty, phone start to cut off the network intermittently, turn on and off, the network will be lost and connect, always hang and need to take out battery. Sometimes never connected at all and backlight mode cannot be set. Power saver mode cannot be set. Keys spacing too near with touch panel. Software needs to be continuously update.

Basically it is a lousy phone. Making it worst was Nokia customer care service was not willing to replace it as they do not have one-to-one replacement policy.

I have been a loyal Nokia supporter for more than 10 years but now I have totally lost faith in Nokia and will be getting other brand phone.

One UGLY Phone



Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: -
Cons: -
Opinion:
Functionality's important, but nailing the look is essential!

 

This is the best priced world smartphone that I have owned.



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Loads of applications and features. Supports Chinese with quadband GSM networks, 3.5G and Wifi connectivity.
Cons: The OS slows to a freeze occasionally while serving the internet. Greasy body cover that leaves fingerprints. Needs to clean up very often.
Opinion:
The OS sometimes slows to a freeze and hang especially for more than 5 hours of vigorous internet surfing. Good 3.2Mp camera that produce resonably sharp and clear photos.

 

Half-hearted



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Loads of functions
Cons: Unstable software, phone surface needs constant cleaning
Opinion:
I was very impressed with the phone when I got it. But after a few days of usage, the phone start to cut off the network when I was in the midst of calls. Then on and off, the network will be lost and connect again. Sometimes never connected at all.

Then the software will go cranky once in a while. Either lagging, no reaction at all, or the phone simply resets on its own. When this happens, all the backlight is off.

Another irrating thing is the powersaver mode which I can't seem to turn off. Basically, when the phone detects no usage for a period of time, it will blank off the screen. But hey, not after 2 seconds!!! How can I read a message like that?!

As of now, there are no software updates availlable.
