What theme is that you've used throughout this review?

I mean to ask about the black theme with differently shaded triangles in the background....

Please reply...

I´m using N79 for 2 months now, and it´s the best phone I ever had.
- Battery lasts 4 days: every day 2 hours of WLAN, 30 minutes phoning, 10 photos
- very good reception and speaking quality
- good build quality, no creaks

> In reply to kitch @ 2008-11-20 21:55 from PESdWish i cld see it in reality. No shops in my City sell this phone. Why?? My nearest Nokia shop is 140 miles away! The mobile phone industry needs to be open to scrutiny. It isnt. Its shrouded in mystery. How many phones are churned out which arnt even fit for purpose! Design faults that a 10 year old could tell you wont last 5 mins! So called 'smart phones' that are more buggy than a tramps sleeping bag! Etc etc! The mobile phone people are making a killing and getting away with murder! And no one it seems, gives a damn! Sure there are good devices out there, but finding them is pot luck!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-11-23 20:10 from pqWHHi, your email address is wrong! I wanted to ask you what colour is your phone? Where did you buy it? I have a feeling that some n79s are faulty whilst others are fine. Could it be that the white is made in diferent country to grey one? Or did a bad 'batch' of them get released by accident? I dont know? It seems strange that some have many faults and others are perfect? I want a white 'prefect one please! How do I atchieve this?? I dont want to chance to luck!htempleton@talktalk.net

I'm really interested in this phone and disappointed to read here that the camera isn't the best... but looking at those photos, it's not SO much worse than the N95 is it?

Which phone(s) out there actually take significantly better pictures? Surely not the C902 :-O

And can anyone say how the N79 camera compares to the 6220 classic, which is the other phone I'm considering right now?

n79 is better than n82 due to it's battery
n79's battery backup is amazing''(about 3 days with full use)''
