I bought N79 more than a year ago.

1. Sometimes it hangs and menu doesn't work.
2. Recorded video hangs continuously.

Have been using N79 since past 18months... excellent phone... great features...
the only problem which i faced of late was that the screen color kept changing again n again within 2-3 seconds.
Finally that also was sorted out by cleaning the sensor on the express on back cover with a soft cloth.
