Rafe Blandford from All About Symbian posted a preview of the Nokia N78 based on his limited time with the device at the Mobile World Congress. Eldar from Mobile-Review however has a prototype in his hands and posted his initial, Russian only, thoughts on it. Give it a few days to 1 week for the translation to occur.

Likewise since Eldar has the N78 he can also play around with S60 3.2 and has thus posted a massive preview of FP2 with tons of screenshots.

The last paragraph simply states, rough translation of course:

As a result, being repulsed from the base functionality FP2, it is possible to assert that today this is one of the most powerful platforms on the market for smartfonov, and soon its domination nothing threatens, nothing analogous “from the box” none of the producers thus far propose can.

Basically S60 3.2 kicks tons of ass and no smartphone platform comes close to competing with it.
