this is what you call a phone! the design, specs & features are amazing... and take note: stereo speakers, display size-2.4 inches & tv-out functionality are among its best assets.......

Dilmeet, 16 Aug 2009@Rage 1) U can check firmware by simply inputting *#0000# in the main screen. Till nw In Indi... morethanx dilmeet it's been really helpful cos the discontinuing bit got me scared
and i bought the n79 yesterday, since then only one thing's been troubling me- in X-plore wen u check for the device info it reads the processor speed as 192Mhz instead of the reqd 369Mhz. i tried the same funda in my n73 in which it read 206Mhz. is it a problem with the software or my phone???
it hasn't given me any prob yet, except the theme reset thing and the fact that it restarts if i recieve a file larger than 50MB while doin other things.
Thanx

I am from India. I am using N79. The current firmware version is 11.049. But when I try to upgrade the F/W using Nokia Software Updater, the latest version available is 11.049. Is any other version available in India for N79? What should I do to get latest version?

Hi
I am using N79. The problem which I face is that the phone hangs while locking the keypad or un-locking the key pad (not every time). Then I have to remove the battery to restart the phone? What should I do? Is there any other way to restart the phone without removing the back cover and battery?

N82 owners cannot afford New N79, so why not write lies about the n79. I ownn Both phones n82, n79 and i admit n79 wins. why? i think the xenon flash is not a whole advantage to n82, as n82 cannot capture videos at dark. I would like to remember you that n79 overtakes n82 in design, battery life, software performance+ fm transmitter and ofcourse wlan software upgrade. about speed turn off fp2 transtion effects from themes, to get the phone quicker.
N79=Now N82=Past.

camera is very poor, colors are distorted, you move a bit and it gets blurred, zooming is a pain, phone is very slow even if i already upgraded the firmware, i hate this phone, pictures takes ages to clear, keypads are stiff and hard, cannot txt as fast as i can, poor images at night, wrong move to buy this phone... fm transmitter is cool though but overall, hate it
