At least so says the PR we recently received from Nokia Philippines. The Nokia N78 is similar to the N82, sharing the latter’s 3.5mm audio jack that accepts most headsets and earphones, built-in WiFi & HSDPA, and even shape.

What makes the N78 different is its lower initial price, nearly P1,500 cheaper than the N82 when it first came out. Other notables include an ability to broadcast FM signals, and the free music (Comes With Music).

The Nokia N78 is also among the first handsets to come with the integrated FM transmitter. When connected, “NOKIA” appears on the radio display indicating to the listeners that they have tuned into the correct music station… the Nokia N78… What’s more, consumers who buy the Nokia N78 get a free 2GB microSD and voucher for music download from MCA Music Inc. Get your favorite songs from top acts like Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Akon, FOB, Maroon 5, etc.
