Consolidated Gulf Co. (CGC), the biggest retailer of mobile phones as well as the largest Telecom and IT solution provider in Qatar, has introduced in local market Nokia N78, a sleek multimedia computer that combines music, navigation and photography with the benefits of mobility. It is packed with capabilities that help users find their location with GPS, superb quality audio, remote access to their home media and faster web-browsing. Nokia N78 is designed to take advantage of the new suite of Nokia services, including the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps and Share on Ovi - a new online service that enables users to share their personal media.
Nokia N78 is equipped with a powerful range of technologies, including integrated A-GPS, with free Nokia Maps, WLAN and high-speed HSDPA 3G connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and support for microSD memory card, currently available at up to 8 GB, to store favourite music and media. The novelties of N78 are geotagging of photos and an integrated FM transmitter that allows music to be played on any FM radio, in a car or at home.
On the occasion, Anil Mahajan, Head - Business Development, CGC, said, "Nokia N78 is a compact phone, made to deliver unparalleled mobile multimedia experiences with its very latest technologies and services. It has all the qualities to put online communities in the palm of users' hand and will empower the mobizens of Qatar to explore their passions, enjoy favourite music and share their experiences with others."
Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and 3.2 megapixel camera, Nokia N78 introduces the increasingly popular online practice of 'geotagging' to a Nokia device. Nokia N78 automatically tags images with captured location metadata, making it possible to view the captured location as a pin 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 or Flickr is a single keystroke away.
Music remains a core feature of Nokia N78. In addition to the up to 8GB of memory, internal speakers and support for standard 3.5mm headphones, Nokia N78 also comes with Nokia Internet Radio, giving instant access to thousands of radio stations around the world.
