But when Nokia do a high-end phone well, they do it really well. Like the N78, for example. This piece of black art doesn’t feature a whole heap of buttons, instead opting for a touch-sensitive surface with raised ridges to give you some feedback. And depending on which function you’re using, the keys will change, making it easy to take photos, listen to music and use the phone. At least in theory – we’ve got one sitting at our desk that we’re about to crack open to review.
At the same time that we’re excited by the potential of this phone, you should be excited by the potential of winning one. You see, the guys at Nokia have generously given us two of these gorgeous handsets to giveaway to Giz readers.
We’re going to give one away each week for the next two weeks. If you want one, you’ll need to tell us in 25 words or less: “Which feature of the new Nokia N78 do you think is the best and why?” Pop your entries in the comments section below.
If you need some guidance, check out this post for ideas. While you’re busy pondering the best use of 25 words to win (I’ll give you a hint – I like to be entertained), I’ll be playing around with an N78 here to give you a full review in the coming week or so.
So what are you waiting for?

The perfect internal volume.
Ideal ratio of width, height and depth.
Forever I’ve struggled with jeans fading around my phone,
Weird fades no more.

Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 8:33 PMAt least now when the missus gets lost using the gps for the 100th time she can e-mail me a picture of where she is and with the geo tag i can work where the hell she has got to and get her home.

Sticks out of the competitors like a pimple,

Would make my life ‘easy street!’
