Finally, we can all collectively get a good night's sleep. There were some brief moments of discomfort at Engadget HQ last week when we
discovered a completely 3G-less version of the
Nokia N78 in the FCC's labs; we'd heard after the fact that it was destined for China, but there's still a little bit of that queasy, sick-to-your-stomach feeling until you see the true North American 3G version we were promised at MWC with your own two eyes (come on, don't even front like you haven't felt that before). Well, here ya go -- the SAR report for the RM-342 (an internal model number, of course) verifies that HSDPA is present on both the 850 and 1900MHz bands this time around, so we can get back to our daily lives and routines in peace until it finally launches later this year. Carry on.

What's the WLAN 2450? Don't tell me that's WiMax....please do actually.

So, tell me if I'm wrong here, it seems to me that the N78 is just a redisigned N73 with GPS and Wifi? And now that there will be a North American version with 3G?
Why the hell can't there be a North American version of the N82? Huh? Please someone tell me that?
The N82 is the upgrade to my N73 that makes sense. 5MP camera with Xenon flash! Give me one with NA 3G and I'll be super fucking happy! Hell, I'll be willing to shell out the $700 for that! Not without the NA 3G though... without that I'm sticking with my N73. (Although, if I could sell my N73 and only have to fork out $250 or something close for a North American N78 I might just do that instead of waiting for Nokia to get off their asses.)
