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.

really good camera, design, utility softwares, 4 gb free card, faster ram, nice leather cover comes with it. accelerometerdual led Flash (xenon is better but if do not take night shots then its not a big deal)

4. N79

I bought this phone 3 months ago and are generally very happy with it but for the keypad. In fact, my phone was stolen last week and if it wasn't for the keypad I will have bought it again.. now I'm considering other alternatives (none found yet :( ). The camara is pretty decent (for a camera phone) as is the video function. The UI could be a little faster in some places but is generally very responsive. Sound very good too.
I like to use it as a training aid for running and mountain biking and it is in this function that I found its main weakness.. it's slippery :) Fortunately I found a silicon case on ebay with raised keys which not only improved the slipperiness, but also made the keypad much easy to use. So nokia, you were very close to perfection with this device is you only had used some raised keys (like in N82). As it is now, the problem is that you have to use your fingernails (because keys are small), and the fullrow hard plastic keys are not very user friendly. Also the D-pad should have been raised a little more because it's very easy to hit 2-key when you try to press down-key.
I also spected more from the battery, but I barely can get more that 2 days of battery without risking being out of battery during the 3rd day of use (normal use I will say)
So, lots of features, good performance and so-so ergonomics. It's a pitty that mobile phone ergonomics tend to worsen more and more with time (try almost any three year old phone keypad and surely you will understand me).
Very feature complete (GPS, Wifi, VGA video, 5Mp camara, FM RDS, FM transmitter,...)
Dual LED flash
very balanced weight
SizeKeypad (improves with a silicon case)
Slippery (can be solved with a silicon case)
No easy to turn on flashlight function available
No 3D HW acceleration

Here's some advantage of using this phone:
-Simplicity
-Fast, compact, flexible
-Imaging possibilities
-Good model
it has XpressOn casing that the phone follows the colour of the casing you put on.
I've score it 9.5.
And it beats the record for the smallest of Nseries phone, so far.
And it has all it needs to fill on your empty time.
Fast
Cool model
Strong
Imaging phoneXpensive (for me)

8. almost perfect

Overall this phone is perfect and highly recommended I am using it for more than a month.
But I have problem with my music player when using headphones. Forwarding song or going to the next track freezes the phone. This problem was there from the first iteself. This problem mostly occurs when I use FM transmitter for listening songs. Another issue reported in real player the video sometimes shows blank when playing videos, you can only hear the audio.
but still they are firmware problems. I hope nokia fix these problems in the next update
