Nokia N79

“The good news with Nokia N79 is the Nseries haven't completely run out of inspiration. No gaps in the feature set and distinct looks do sound right for a healthy demand. Solid value as a brand-loyal upgrade and little competition let the N79 hope for quite a success.From where we stand, the major obstacles in front of Nokia N79 are the not too impressive camera and the relatively low level of innovation it offers. No, it has nothing to do with the length of the specs sheets, there's just nothing we haven't already seen.We still can't ignore the fact that N79 - and N85 for that matter - are being launched in a time of major transition. As Nokia are readying for S60 5th and touchscreen, N79 and the likes are taking over from the top dogs of the past, repackaging the whole set of goodies with a moderate price tag. At the same time they are clearing the scene for the new flagships to come. From this perspective, there's little we can hold against the N79. A true all-in-one, with less focus on N-gage and with a distinct face, the N79 may as well stick around and do just fine.”

“The Nokia N97 features a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and 32GB of internal flash memory. The smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS and comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera. While the Nokia N97 is packed with features and offers the freedom of an unlocked phone, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag, and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the market.”

“The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features and performs well. Unlike other N-series handsets, the N79 comes with covers that are recognised by the phone, which changes its theme accordingly. It's not the most exciting feature ever, but it does add something different. Overall, we enjoyed using the N79. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad.”

“The Nokia N79 is a compact candybar shaped phone with a powerful camera and a host of other great multimedia features. The Xpress-On back covers, with automatically-activated matching interface themes, are a really nice touch for the fashion-oriented, as well. The camera's dual-LED flash works great for still photos, and even better as a video light. The stereo speakers are loud, and the 1200mAh battery is more than enough to power the phone for over 24 hours. I found the numeric keypad to be incredibly comfortable to type on, even with lightning-fast typing.The build quality is slightly questionable, though. The plastic exterior squeaks slightly with use. The firmware is solid, and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 offers a handful of nice extras over previous versions. We at MobileBurn.com give the Nokia N79 a Highly Recommended rating, since we found ourselves struggling to find anything negative to say about it.”
