    Hi guys, I am from India and quite satisfied with my phone (not completly though coz nothing in this world can be perfect as u wished it to be).

    I own the silver N79 and i want to get the black panel/xpress-on cover for it.

    Is it possible to change the front panel. If yes please let me know where i can get it from (i mean any site where i can place the order or any shop in Delhi).

    Thanks in advance

    Regards,
    Sagar Gupta

      hello all,i'mgonna make a review of nokia n79, my first n series.(true story i swear) lets start with pros:

      1.the audio quality is really i mean really great! better than my old 5320 xpress music.

      2. nice camera. even sony c902 lose its camera quality.

      3.the best navi wheel than any other nokia support navi wheel such as n81 n78 and n85

      4.big screen,better quality!

      5. the video recording is great. is like holding a video cam

      6. very easy to write message using a keypad,i don't understand why some of people complain about keypad.

      7.wifi signal is really great. and also the gps signal.

      8.nice auto rotate. the gallery is also nice.

      9.nice changeble xpress on cover. you can change your back cover anytime.(cause you get free 3 color)

      10.rich application installed in this phone.

      11. reasonable price.

      cons:

      1. hangups and lagging(maybe because i drop my phone few days a go. ithink almost 5 feet)but after update new software. no hangups and lagging anymore

      2.the music is good quality but not loud.(its stereo and its supposed to be loud.)

      3.auto rotate sometime doesnt respond.if doesnt respond turn off your handset or just update your software all this things will gone

      4.battery last only 1 and a half day! maybe you should charge battery 8 hours first when you buy this phone( i didn't do that so serves me right)

      5.game n gage is just trial not full

      so everyone, this is a highly recommended phone. all hang ups and lagging will gone after you update from version 10 to version 20. so i hope you enjoy my review see ya

                        John Gore, 24 Jan 2009The cpu in the N78 and N79 is the same, but N78 has 96mb ram, and N79 only has 50mb ram. Me... moreThe memory you quoted is phone memory and not RAM, N79 comes with 120 MB of RAM out of which some 60 MB is free after startup, you can check mobile-review site to verify as this info is not available in forum.nokis and gsmarena.

                        N78 comes with 96 MB of Ram and after boot some 45 MB reported to be free.

                            so i bought this fone yest day and i found out few imperfection about this hp
                            1- the sound for music is nice but the volume level is low and make me feel unhappy about it.
                            2- i thought keypad N79 will be better than N78, in fact it make my finger suffer typing msg wif it
                            3- try to take a photo for tiny object and set in small object as background, the result come out make me feel dissapointed .but if normal focusing it is still ok.
