Nokia N79 - user opinions and reviews

Just bought this one.
Pros - light weight, decent camera (still love the instant autofocus of 6500), 30fps video, WIFI (but most high end phone has it now anyway), fairly decent sound, good battery life, A-GPS was very reliable,
Cons - keypad button really hard, bad for sms,N series phone generally has bad keypad except maybe for n73, it should be responsive like 6233, e51, phone design really bad (someone who has no knowledge of the phone capabilities wouldnt be attracted to it at first glance), color is bad - grey appear dull, white is fair only, should come up something like dark blue, black, lastly the firmware issue - why is nokia not updating it ASAP througH the software updater ( nsu ), no news on it and kept us guessing when update available ??
overall - good multimedia function, reliable phone, but keying/typing/smsing is going to be a pain and one that is not too pleasant to the eye

Also i have found not a single clue ... moreyes you are right, im trying to find the nokia update for the n79 but there is no official update from nokia. only other websites are talking about the update without proof. did you try to update it using the update manager from nokia? I havent tried it yet, and i dont think i will update my phone yet, im happy with the way it is.

vivek, 26 Dec 2008Dnt you think N82 is more success in black. And also i think this set is not that popular beca... moreThe problem is that they released the Black N82 near the time when they released N78, this moved everyone from something outdated to something new, as it's the same with new cars. But if they had the Black N82 from the first day the N82 got released, im sure it would've been very well done. And about the other colors that come with the N79, just used the black or the dark colors, they look okay.
