It seems as though the Nokia N78 is almost ready to shipped worldwide. The Finnish company Verkkokauppa.com has already started shipping the device, including the all white color. According to All About Symbian it comes with a 1 year subscription to the Nordic regions of Nokia Maps, and is currently only available for customers in Sweden, Finland, and Estonia.
We should start seeing this phone available worldwide within 2-3 weeks.
Devin from The Nokia Guide has found a link to the official Nokia N78 Support Page. He mentions that when Nokia adds the Support Page to their website normally the device is released 2-3 weeks later. Obviously this is great news and hopefully Nokia keeps the trend going with the N78.
The support page gives you many tips and tricks for the N78 as well as a detailed How-To video of the various aspects of the multimedia computer.
Who says 3.2 megapixels isn't enough? When you have a Carl Ziess lens like the N78 has, the photos still come out great. With 1.8 megapixels less than the Nokia N95 your not going to see much of a picture difference unless your blowing up the photo for a portrait. They both have the same led flash and some are saying the N78's camera software is a lot faster. I've came across many N95 users who take their photos at 3.2 megapixels to save memory on their memory card.
A member of Flickr has posted photo samples taken by the Nokia N78. I think they look great. Surely good enough for sharing good quality photos over the web which is far as most cameraphone pictures get.
Here is a new Nokia N78 hands on video that I found when browsing the other day. It's completely in French so I'm not sure what the guy is saying, but the video shows a damn good hands on demonstration of the phone. The scroll wheel in the gallery looks so smooth and the UI is very fast. You also can see the phone side by side with the N96 and N95. The N78 is probably one of the thinnest Nokia Nseries devices ever released.

Ricky from Symbian-Guruhas discovered that the Nokia N78 is coming in a white version. Check out the picture below.
Personally I think the Nokia N78 looks great in white as long as its not going to be a fingerprint magnet. Only problem for me is my career involves working with dirt and oil so I may just have to stick with the black version.
What do you think? Would you consider buying the N78 in white?
I just found some great side by side images of the Nokia N78 and the Nokia N82. I think its great how "simple" the N78 looks compared to the cluttered Nokia N82. The build quality actually looks a lot more solid as well.
What do you think? Do you like the physical style and design of the N78 better than the N82?
The guys over at Symbian Web Blog have posted a photo gallery of the Nokia N78 in the real world. The phone looks great and has a very sleek design. I love how the N78 is completely flat and has no moving parts, making it perfect for those who slip there phone in and out of there pocket or purse. Nothing to get caught on and nothing to slide open. The naviwheel is another great feature making scrolling through long lists like the music player or contacts a breeze.
The Nokia N78 has recently passed through the United States FCC. It will feature North American 3g, 3.2 megapixel camera, gps and wifi built in, plus Feature Pack 2. A huge upgrade to the Nokia N73. The N78 is rumored to be released on AT&T later this year, but nothing official has come over the wires.
