Where did the FM Transmitter disapear on my N78?
The legal status of FM transmission varies from country to country. Due to this reason all regional variants of N78 will not have a FM transmitter.
Therefore before buying your N78 check if your handset has a FM transmitter. If you have already bought one and wondering where did the transmitter disapear, do not wonder any more, probably your's doesn't have one. But don't be dissapointed, coz there's a way to bring the FM transmitter to your existing handset. Just do the following, but do it at your own risk!
Vaibhav Sharma on a comment in his posting All Regional Variants Of N78 Will Not Have An FM Transmitter at The Symbian Blog, says that by changing the product code to 0566375 via NSS and then reflashing the firmware will show the transmitter on your N78.
Do you have a better idea than this?

What is Mobile 2.0?
It is another (r)evolution, already started and that will change the Web and the mobility landscape that we currently know. The idea is that the mobile web will become the dominant access method, with devices that becomes more hybrid and networks that becomes more powerfull.
Wireless broadband access technologies like 3G/UMTS, the migration of traditional telecom networks to internet technology, the availability of affordable and functional Wi-Fi... will all boost VoIP and ultimately blur the destinction between fixed and mobile services.
If you have used a Nokia Nseries phone, you will have a clear idea of what Mobile 2.0 is all about. Its about connecting your phone through Wi-Fi to browse the net, or use innovative mobile accessible Web 2.0 services (e.g. Downlaoding podcast, doing a one-click image upload to Flickr, finding your way thru Google Map while on the road etc.)

Live video is gaining traction on social-networking arena and sites like YouTube, Stickam have developed extreamly simple ways for anyone to share media.
The JuiceCaster application once downloaded to your mobile phone, lets you send videos and photos to a "JuiceCaster Player" area on your pages at Facebook, Blogger or virtually any other sites. Not only thru the application, you can also add pictures and videos via email and MMS.

Feature-Packed BlueAnt X3 Micro
The BlueAnt X3 Micro bluetooth headset combines a comfortable fit, excellent sound quality with some great features and its not that expensive either.

Wimax or LTE?
The two competing 4G wirless systems, Wimax and LTE (Long Term Evolution) offers wide area broadband network connection designed for mobile devices.
Both considered to be broadly similar to each other with a long-range wireless connection ranging from 3 to 5 kilometers.
Wimax is backed by Intel and has won support from computer industry, because its roots lie with wi-fi.
On the other hand, LTE is a technology based on existing mobile network and has a broad support from handset manufacturers and mobile network carriers like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Orange, T-Mobile, NTT, China Mobile...
LTE is seen as a evolution to existing 3G network and faster and long-distance compared to 3G, with a range between 3 to 5 kilometers and expected to offer higher speed peaking at 100Mbps download and 50Mbps upload.
Which one do you prefer?
