Hello

Both N78 and navigator had a price slash today. Current prices from poorvika mobile and wavetel (with small diff between the two):

N78 15200
6210 Navigator 14300

I am looking for a good Symbian phone with decent cam and music. N78 has WiFi which is a big plus, albeit a barely usable keypad. 6210 lacks in WiFi, decent keypad, but cheap looks. What do you guys suggest? My budget... 15k.

Wavetel hasn't updated prices online yet, but Poorvika has:

Subhiksha unfortunately, have no clue abt the price slash!

Man, thats great. But this version of N78 doesnt have the much hyped and awaited FM transmitter I suppose. :neutral:

Anyways for the advice; go for N78. Having WiFi is a definite plus. :)

N78 does have a FM transmitter. At this price it is definitely a VFM.

i think newer N78 is coming with FM transmitter. Not fully sure though.

By the way , nokia should officialy kill N73 now. Let the old die in peace . it has served enough.

N78 is better IMO. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack, better memory, wi-f and bigger battery. 6210 has an accelerometer though and some will find it's keypad to be the better of the two.

N78 is great on features and I am loving it. I just realized that my N78 doesn't have the FM transmitter. I checked with my retailer, he said he isn't aware about it and said it won't be available in India. I had checked Nokia's website and it is available in India. Anybody here having N78 can confirm if they are having the FM transmitter.

Kill!! Nokia has officially kept the N73 and N93 in the waiting list of the N-Gage compatibility phones!!

Really? Was not really aware of this.

Dont forget that N78 is a NGage compatible phone!! A huge +.

so which is better??? N78 or 6210 navigator?????
N78 hands down! The navigator only if you plan to use the GPS navigation, as it comes with lifetime navigation license.
Otherwise, N78 has all the features except accelerometer.

N6210 comes only with a 6 month navigation license.

The older N6110 has a lifetime navigation license.
