1) U can check firmware by simply inputting *#0000# in the main screen. Till nw In India its v20.175 and its quiet gud n stable......rest just check 4 latest firmware once a week by same *#0000# as since N79 supports FOTA dats firmware update over the air so u cn knw wen will d update b ready for our region.
2)N82 Camera is no match for N79. in terms of camera its N82 the best Nokia hs provided.
3)Not such news to me as nw the price hs been reduced so mite b d case as most models aftr a substantial drop get discontinued but dis 1 i don't think so as its the best in its new price range.
4) its up to u to luk for other options as in its new price range of under 15k u can't find a better loaded all in one fone.......Hope this helps......and congrats in advance for ur new phone wichever it may b.........

I'm using V20 firmware and when I try to update it says that I have the latest firmware, so you might try to use Nokia Software Updater in your PC or wait till the new firmware is released in your country.

Shivasri, 15 Aug 2009how about the availablity of Nokia N79 NAM in India.? will it work here.?I think that you'll only find over there the Euro-asian variant, because of the 3G networks in asia are 900/2100, and in America are 850/1900. So probably there must be very hard to find the NAM version in India.
