i had n82 before and then i bought this n79, first i was disapointed with the Flash (n82 has xenon) but everything else is suprb look at the images i taken, i am so happy to have this mobile. now its more cheaper then i bought. this is simply great mobile other campany cant think what n79 is giving at this price. i like design better then n82 and other mobiles looks futuristic.
