Nokia N78 Allows GeoTagging

Nokia today introduced the N78, a mobile phone combining music, navigation and photography with the benefits of mobility. Designed to take advantage of the new suite of Nokia services, the N78 includes the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps, and Share on Ovi - a new online service that lets consumers share their personal media.


The Nokia N78 integrates A-GPS, with free Nokia Maps, WLAN and high-speed HSPDA 3G connectivity, a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and support for microSD memory card, currently available at up to 8 GB.

The Nokia N78 introduces the increasingly popular online practice of 'geotagging' to a Nokia device. The N78 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the device itself, or online. With its high-speed internet connectivity, over WLAN or HSDPA, uploading photos and videos to online communities like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube is a single key stroke away.

Music remains a core feature of the Nseries range. With internal speakers and support for standard 3.5 mm headphones, the N78 also comes with Nokia Internet Radio, giving instant access to thousands of radio stations around the world.

The Nokia N78 is expected to start shipping during the second quarter of 2008, with an estimated retail price of approximately 350 euros, before taxes.
