Nokia has just released one of its N-Series handsets, the N78 to the US mobile market. And while we accept the fact that this is a worthy addition to the slew of smartphones already available, mainly because of its rich and powerful features, some may find its $560 price tag a little bit on the expensive side. But if you are a Nokia fan and you wouldn’t mind spending that much for a new N-Series Nokia phone, take a gander at what the N78 has to offer.

The Nokia N78 features a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and automatic geotagging, a-GPS, an integrated FM transmitter, digital music player, high-speed HSDPA connectivity on North American 850/1900 MHz networks, support for Nokia Maps and Share using Nokia’s Ovi site, as well as a touch-sensitive keyboard and microSDHC card slot.

Its been a while since we first saw the Nokia N78 begin to show up online, it hit the FCC back in mid-March and since then it has always been touting a built-in FM transmitter as an included feature. Considering the music capabilities of the N78, that should be a welcomed feature, while playing music through an FM transmitter over your car stereo is not always a perfect solution, its easy to set up and very convenient. Sadly new details are beginning to surface that are claiming that at least some of the Nokia N78’s will not include the FM transmitter.

While Nokia has not offered up any official comment, it is speculated that it was left off due to legal reasons as it is against the law to operate a radio transmitter without a license in some areas. From what we can tell, the Nokia N78’s will ship without the FM transmitter in France, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland and Italy.

Those who have been using the Nokia 78 handset and are wishing to have a white version would be surprised to find out that there is actually a white N78 available in the market. Sadly, it is only available for sale in Spain. Our friends from Spain must be the special ones, as Nokia has only currently released it for them.

However, aside from the color we cannot envy our Spanish friends much because the newly colored white Nokia N78 doesn’t offer any new features from its black counterpart, which is available in other parts of the world. The N78 white features the same 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and runs on the S60 mobile OS like the black N78.
