Sorry for the delay with this post – the original review has been lost in a laptop theft…
The Nokia N78 is the first device that actually puts S60V3 FP2 into end-user compatible hardware. So far, so good – but how does the new OS actually fare in everyday use?
The phone’s home screen is very similar to the one found on other S60V3 devices:
The launcher also hasn’t been modified – except for funky transitions:
S60V3 FP2 automatically adds a menu entry to each running application’s menu. The task list has also been redesigned – it is now horizontally arranged:
Nokia also added a small search program:
A Text-To-Speech feature has also been added. It can read incoming messages in passable quality:
As in every other review, here’s our Resco Viewer-generated memory info:
The camera application turned out to be especially annoying, as it slowly rotates the screen when invoked. This costs an extra second or two..if you then consider the time the auto-focus takes, getting snap shots is almost impossible:
In the end, S60V3 FP2 doesn’t do the already-flaky N78 any good. The transitions are exceptionally slow and annoying, and are the first thing that one should disable after purchasing the device. The rest of the package isn’t bad…if software would N78’s biggest problem, this reviewer would be very happy..
