          Dilmeet, 10 Aug 2009u r welcme buddyNo problem

          My Dad has the N73 (I took the earphones of it and used them on my nokia 5310 ,The sound is louder and the Bass is WAAAY Stronger)

          So i Kept them and gave my dad the earphones of nokia 5310

          But If I Want New Earphones (I am 99% Sure that i dont need to) i will go for Sennheiser's Headphones(I Bet U Know them)

          Sorry for bothering

                          SE fan not now!, 10 Aug 2009One of the best ever Nseries range handset.. There is big diff b/w N79 and N82, 3D hardware ... moreN82 - 100MB internal memory,GPRS Class 32, 107 kbps
                          CPU: Dual ARM 11 332 MHz processor; 3D Graphics HW Accelerator and the 5.0 mp camera has xenon flash.

                          N79 - has navi wheel and fm transmitter and more colors to choose, longer battery life and thats it, itonly has 83MB internal memory, GPRS Class 11, 107 kbits, CPU: ARM 11 369 MHz processor,

                          obviously n82 is way faster

                          for n79, The image processing algorithm has some issues, which obviously affect picture quality. Noise is certainly excessive and there are slight traces of oversharpening based on the test conducted by gsm arena, night pix are even worst, zooming anyone? it takes ages!!! setting up the camera is a pain, settings? doesnt even have exposure setting, contrast, iso setting, sharpness setting, very poor


                          for n82 The picture quality is great. It's the best 5mp cam you can find on the market, camera set up time is really short, zooming it a breeze, pictures clear up after it was taken, iso settings, exposure, xenaon takes great images at night, its like the real digital camera

                            Anti-Nokia, 09 Aug 2009please don't buy this phone. better buy SE C510. SE rules, Nokia droolsyou're right!!!and the market share (ahem also profits) tells it all. ok,i said it ironically.
                            SE-overpriced phone with not so novel features. that's why their market share and profits keep on dropping

                              One of the best ever Nseries range handset..
                              There is big diff b/w N79 and N82,
                              3D hardware accelerator(widely used for Ngage gaming purpose), Xenon flash and Dual ARM Cpu these are lacks in N79..
                              I think that this no a BIG probs for N79, b'cas it looks really classic design, weigh only 98gms when compared to N82 149gms, Better keypad and Navi wheel responsive than its predecessors N78 and N82, Indicative Light in Dpad which indicates unread sms and missed calls, Accelerometer works in every part of menu and it also works for silencing calls(tapping phone), Latest firmware really works on camera bugs and 5mpix cam same as N82 in day shots and in night shots always N82 better due to xenon, No video light in N82 and N79 dual led used as a video light, Bright screen than N82 and N78, Stereo speakers which is loud as same as N95 and wins among N82,
                              128mb RAM after re booting and Off the menu transition effects u surely get 72mb RAM(In N82 only 54mb RAM) and N79 internal mem 74mb with 4gb card included,
                              so N79 wins in most of aspects among N82.
