Menu, usability
Nokia has its Symbian devices built on the Series 60 platform, and N78 is no exception. The 320 x 240 pixels large TFT display can display 16.8 million colors, while its physical size is 36 x 48 mm. The system has been renown for its customizability, and thanks to Feature Pack 2, the number of possibilities has been increased.
We can see improvements on the active standby screen too. The solution used until now has been pleasant too, as below the customizable quicklaunch toolbar on the top we have seen the most important information, missed events, calendar entries, WLAN status, music player and radio status. Now we also have online sharing’s icon, even though we wouldn’t have been shocked if this wasn’t there, but this isn’t what’s important. Now the standby screen can have different kinds of layouts, we have an option that puts our selected elements in a vertical area on the right, and browsing these we can see the options of each element on the left side. It’s harder to describe than to show a picture, so let’s see a few.
The menu’s view can still be customized by themes, N78 has four of these pre-installed. It’s still nothing new that themes can change icons too. Now, however, we can also use a picture or a video for incoming or outgoing calls and the wallpaper can now also be a slideshow instead of a preset picture.
We can’t neglect usability either, as the navigation key, besides being usable, can sense our fingers running along its rim. This can be useful in the case of some features, but we can also browse the menu with it. Unfortunately its sensitivity is too high, the software has many times thought, when pressing the OK key that I have jumped to the right/left, so it didn’t open the menu that I wanted to. Fortunately this feature can be turned off.
