    Default Nokia N82 vs Nokia N78

    Ok...so today the long awaited (by me) N78 became available for purchase. I had been waiting out for this in favour of the N82 because:

    1. I don't mind the 3MP cam...it still takes great pictures.
    2. The updated software intrigued me...and with no official word if the N82 will get the same updates via firmware or if that kind of overhaul is even possible.
    3. I prefer the somewhat sleeker design (less bulk)

    However...I am now bewildered...while NOW I can get the N82 for under $500 USD including shipping...the release price on the N78 before S&H is over $600 USD, $100 USD more. WTF?

    I know the phone is new...but I hardly think the minor changes and it being new warrants such a high price...but I am torn (ish)...do I:

    1. Wait a while for the price to go down and stabilize closer to N82's price?

    OR

    2. Cop the N82 while it's hot now?

    At the end of the day...I'll make the decision all my own really...my concern primarily is this outrageous price!



    P.S. Yes...'S #1 fan is trying something new...but only for a while.

    Personally i would go with the more powerful of the two and it going at cheaper rate now sorta makes the choice a no brainer. the only added benefit of the n78 is the fm transmitter as far as i can see, so if u not gonna use much then it doesnt matter
