Dubai, UAE – Nokia today announced that its sleek Nokia N78 multimedia computer is now available in the Middle East and North Africa region. The Nokia N78 ushers in a new era in convergence by blending the benefits of mobility with music, navigation and photography to create experiences such as geotagging. Additionally, the Nokia N78 enables consumers to take full advantage of a suite of Nokia services, including Nokia Maps. With its signature sleek black surface, the Nokia N78 will be available in cocoa brown and lagoon blue. “The slim Nokia N78 fuses features in new ways,” says Chris Braam, Vice President, Sales, Nokia Middle East and North Africa. “The integrated FM transmitter allows for tunes to be played via any car stereo. At the same time, the Nokia N78 features geotagging, which merges camera functionality and A-GPS to not only share pictures but the places where they were taken. The Nokia N78 is also compatible with a multitude of internet services such as Ikbis or VOX blogs that enable consumers to create content right from the palm of their hand.”
Following in the footsteps of the popular Nokia N73, the slim and trim Nokia N78 packs a powerful range of technologies, including high-speed connectivity via WLAN and HSPDA 3.5G, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics for great image quality. When it comes to navigation, the Nokia N78 knows its way around with an integrated A-GPS. Also included is an integrated 3-month voice-guided navigation license and free Nokia Maps with up to 15 million global points of interest such as cafes, restaurants, hotels and more.
The Nokia N78 is the first Nokia device to come with widgets enabled by Web Runtime technology. Combining the power of mobile with the power of the Internet, widgets, such as Weatherbug and RSS feed reader, allow consumers to get quick and easy access to their favorite web content. Today, widgets can be downloaded through Download! an on-device mobile content distribution platform.
