A great prospect for Nokia, will probably gather more ground than the N82 just because of its sleek design. This is, however, one question.

Does it have an In Built GPS receiver or will we have to buy it separately?

Apparently, the release date for the N78 is end April 2008, but Nokia haven't given & exact date for the N78. If you can wait, the release date for the N96 is August 2008. It should be a better bit of kit.
