Also, how different is S60 3.2 vs. 3.1?

Thanks very much in advance!!!!]]>Jun 5th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/
I would like to know if the GPS is better than my N95. It's virtually useless for me (lock time is very slow - even using aGPS).

Geotagging, however, does work & so does sending photos up to Flickr via Lifeblog. Then they're magically ported to Blogger to keep my parents' need for baby photos satisfied.]]>Jun 5th 2008 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/

The GPS works well, although you have to subscribe to navigation.
the updated interface is nice, but there's not much change other than appearances.

Overall I really dig the phone, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the keypad and some of the newer functions though.]]>Jun 5th 2008 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/
GPS is free.

Geotagging? Free. Google Maps with GPS? Free. Sports tracker? Free.

Nokia Maps is free to use. Nokia Maps with voice navigation costs money.]]>Jun 5th 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/Jun 5th 2008 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/nokia-n78-for-north-america-hands-on/It's A-GPS, which IS true GPS. Basically, it uses cell phone triangulation in order to get an approximate area, then uses the real GPS chip to narrow it down to an exact location. This greatly reduces the time it takes for a GPS to get a satellite lock. The A stands for Assisted.

In the case of the iPhone, they don't even use the word GPS at all.]]>Jun 6th 2008 12:37PM
