Nokia N79 - user opinions and reviews
- Raliegh
- t7D
I was able to have the privilege of having n82, e63 and n79 all at the same time and use them and choose one at the end..
E63-classy,professional,but lacks good camera or video. (when i went for an outing and forgot my digital camera, im doomed!!)
n82-good build,xenon is so unique & helpful(at dark places), fast system esp. games, but keypads are so small and build is dull and bulky
n79-goes in the middle of n82 and e63. it has the classy, very very nice looks, very clear camera too(but not at night) and smooth video too. If the n82 rocks on camera shots in dark places, the n79 rocks video shots in dark places because of its dual led flash.
The lock/unlock slide is so helpful. And it's cool to do too. I wouldn't trade it for a music button, n-series button, or any button!! haha.
The breathing is wickedly cool. The naviwheel emits light every other second-like it's breathing.
The transition fade effects.... wheeww..
And my latest discovery.. n79 is really a swiss army knife. I installed an application that enables my dual-led flash to be a flash light!! SO bright in dark places.. it's blinding!!! very very helpful.
Only drawback to n79 is it's kinda slow compared to n82 and e63. internal memory is also not that big.
But it's fine for me since I have the best of both worlds with this phone... Good looks+features..
N79 All the way!!!

See, i was having confusion for which one to buy e63 or E71 or n79...
n79 i buyed
n m very happy.
Its fast
Its symbian(means tons of apps n games)
its ngage
its a big screen
its 2 loud speakers
its navi wheel
its black(black version is best in the three colour options)
and i updated it FOTA(firmware of the air)
FOTA: for indian users who don't generally understand this term. = it means that you update your firmware of mobile using GPRS connectivity offered on mobile by your service provider(vodafone,idea,etc.)
There's an application names SW Checker in the phone(pre-installed) which lets you update FOTA
-------
Also
Using NSU(nokia software updater), n79 can't be updated to the new version. So you have to update using FOTA
Good luck!
NSU: nokia software updater which allows you to download new firmware using PC and then update your firmware by joining your pc and phone by a cable.

I think you dont know how many leaps Indians have made in IT and software. Make your facts clear before making any comments. Or are you drunk or something!

When I say I´m a mobile freak, I simply mean that I change my mobile phone very often (few months).
And my N79 lasts really 4-6 days with normal usage (GSM, everyday 15 minutes calls, 15 minutes music, 30 minutes WLAN, 5 pics).

i just can't get it how some people say that they are fone freaks and then they say that their fone's battery keeps on going for 4 to 6 days! i use an n78 which is more or less the same fone, and more important it has the same battery... mine goes for 1 to 2 days! and i don't consider myself a fone freak... those have max 1/2 to 1 day of battery usage! so please, don't lie to people that want to buy a fone! if you use a smartfone at it's potential then u have max 2 days of battery...

I´m using the N79 now for 1 year. That´s a long time for a mobile freak like me.
But I simply can´t find a better device. N79 offers
- long battery time (4-6 days)
- great reception
- great call quality
- great loudspeaker (not as thin as N97, E72 and so on)
- no scratches on the phone so long
- Camera is good (better than N85)
And you can change the backcover. :)
I really love my N79 and I´m very satisfied with it!!!
