Can N79 capture a moving object's picture like n82. N82 can capture a moving objects photo like a moving/running fan. N82 can capture a running fan's picture but N73 can't capture it. I just want to know can N79 capture a moving object's photo? Please Please Please tell me.

I have to major disagree with the build quality, I've not even owned the phone 3 months yet, and it already looks like it's had 2 years of abuse. I've not dropped or scratched the phone, yet the screen and keypad are covered in surface scratches from everyday use (i.e. in and out of my pocket) to the point where I can not always read whats on the screen. Also the media menu key has fallen out.

Software wise, it's very reliable and quick, but the build quality is terrible. A scratch resistant screen would have been welcomed.

I was using a N-73 Music Edn. Phone of Nokia. But,unfortunately, it was lost. Now I think of buying another phone N-series. Which will be better for me, Samsung-Touchwiz or Nokia N-79? Please some one suggest me.

Bought the N79 about two weeks back. Its one heck of a phone boasting of all the features I could ask for and more.Especially the touchpad control which gives it a more ipodish feel. The camera does have some issues.The photographs are way to pixellated for a 5MP camera.My N70 used to give smoother images.Hopefully Nokia will fix this with a firmware update??
Besides that theres the problem of limited RAM.The processor is fine but the phone is prone to regularly slowing down.That said however, I can hardly blame nokia for skimming on the RAM when the price tag is so unbelieveable.Great Phone in every ther respect.Only thing is....I havent seen too many people with it.Why is that?

N79, got it since december 08. never regret it even for a day. i say its a sleeper hit, the kind of phone that nobody seems to comment much about since it has almost no commonly found problem. The batt life is marvellous and the form factor and weight is just great. in the age of big phones it is refreshing to own a compact one like this.
