When phones were for making phone calls.

The latest great Nokia N78 is another new phone with GPS inbuilt, but this phone has yet another new feature that I haven’t seen in a phone before – instead of just having a FM receiver to listen to a radio station on the move, this phone also features an FM transmitter in order that you can pick up music from your phone collection.

Does that confuse you … it certainly confused me. If you have a radio, then what is the point other than the ability to pick exact tracks. If you are like me, then the radio is just some background noise when driving.

Ah well …. for those of you that aren’t old fogies like me and like your new all-singing multifunction toys, then here is the blurb on the new phone for you:
