            Hello friends ! Please help me...
            I got my N79 3 days ago. I tried to update the firmware using PC with Nokia Software updater. It only showed that the latest firmware was 11.049. But according to the site it was 31.002. How can I get that version? Please help.

                uhmm, OLED is a display technology for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones. OLED describes a specific type of ultra thin, ultra bright display technology which doesn't require a backlight.

                If youve got money, then go to n85, its better and more classy but n85 and n79 are almost the same, but i tell you in n85, its a bit heavy and if ure a careless person, you should not drop it!!.. i hope ive help you!..

                      for me, i will choose n79. n85 screen is great but its not scratch free and can be easily broken, its OLED! as uve read the user comments on n85, many got problems because the C button got broke. nokia is best on candybars cellphone not on the sliding fone. but its your choice..

                        Hi, i'm having a dilemma of these 2 phones. N79 & N85
                        Cause i'm more of a classic phone guy, or Nokia calls it the monoblock.

                        But somehow i find n85 nice, best design i would say among N series,quite good review too. But i've never heard much about n79 so far. Dont see LYN selling much n79 either.

                        So what do you guys recommend? what are the difference between these 2 cause their specs looks the same, what i read it's just n85 can comes with OR can support higher memory..

                                Got this phone couple of days back.....amazing phone .... one of the best used till date. Camera clarity is awsome, screen resolution is good, handling is good, looks heavy but it's same as Nokia 5130c. I would say, anyone planning to buy this...pls go ahead as the rumour says that N79 production is gonna stop.

                                    How do I view images continuously in N79 ?

                                    Is it possible to view images from a folder in full-screen continuously? I tried to view pictures in fullscreen one after another from a folder. But it only shows one picture. There is no next button. With the given picture viewer it is not possible to view contains only of a specific folder. It shows all the images of the memory card. What can I do?

                                      This fone has relli good camera of 5mp, but it seems to hang when they are viewed in photos, maps are not easy to work with, fm transmitter doesn't work good, but still it has lot more pros than cons
