People dont bother to check the photos, yet they shall always be the first to talk negatively about it.
            At mobile-review.com, the posted photos look even better. Maybe the unit used by GSMArena had some software issues.

                why are you guys keep on complaining about the camera?

                the pictures look not great because you guys don't know how to adjust the camera settings!!!! all the pictures i took are clear and great!!!

                the best thing about this phone is it has LED flash for video!!!!!!!!!!!

                  2. the user interface reacts a little bit slow because it has more graphic, but it's fine too me. not bad at all.
                  3. loud speaker is above average, ratio compared to nokia n95 (8-10). you know nokia n95 has the loudest speaker!
                  4. camera is good (not excellent), but you have to play with the settings a alittle bit!!!! video is good too, yet it has LED enable otpion(cheers for that)
                  5. music quality is decent, you need good earphone!!!
                  6. Map, it takes 1.5-4 minutes to get locked on depending on your location.

                  overall, i like this phone very much. i give it a 8.5 out of 10.

                      Guys, Is the camera really so bad? In the review of this phone, GSM Arena has provided some sample pics taken with n79. Those photos look preety nice to me.
                      In order to compare, they have also provided 3 photos of the same object taken with n79 and two other phones. I dont really see much diffrence in the picture quality in the 3 photos. :)

                      Some people are reffering the camera as a fake 5 MP camera simply by seeing the quality of the photos taken themselves, but as per my knoledge, Megapixel value does not reflect picture quality, It represents the number of CMOS optical sensors under the lens. The more the number of CMOS sensors, the more the resolution of the picture will be.

                        Had this phone a few days. Typical Nokia mid range phone, good at everything but excellent at nothing. Many freezing when video recording, i suppose because there was another application open. As I don't use half of the functions (gps, Fm transmitter, wifi,...) far too much complex. But i changed for the best phone now, Samsung Pixon
                        Price Pixon here in Bangkok = 18500 bahts + Tv out cable 390 bahts = 400 euros
                        Price N79 = 14900 bahts + Tv out cable 1680 bahts (!!! ) = 350 euros

                        For only 50 euros more you get a top quality 8Mp huge touch screen screen, with the best video recording on a phone, instead of plastic toy with N79. And the Waouuuu factor with the girls is great too. And fonts are huge, when N79 has microscopic fonts. Pixon is a Ferrari, when N79 is a Wolkswagen !

                            Hi, Please do the effort and read this. First, if you want to compare the 5800 to something, compare it to other touch screens such as Xperia x1. The N79 is ways better than the n82 in means of typing (hate those rice buttons of the n82), weight and features. If you are a busy person, always carrying your phone, then a lightweight phone is the answer, which is the n79. This phone is highly recommended!!!

                              I have used all N73, N73ME, N82 and now N79, in all i would say it is the best phone i ever had for the following reasons,
                              Great looks
                              Great Dimensions and light weight
                              Great battery mine last for 4days with normal use
                              Great featuers
                              Very good camera not upto the mark of 5mp but still good
                              Reasonable price got it for Rs 34000 in pakistan, where n82 is 33000.
                              Its the fastest mobile i ever had.
                              Built quality is good.

                              I love it

                                What is the advantage of N78 model having 96SDRAM memory ?

                                Are this CDRAM important ?

                                        I just bought N79 recently. After a few days ive found its defect. i was wondering why the pictures ive taken was lost everytime the fone is off. Ive tested again. Ive took pictures, off it and on. And im right. The pictures are all gone. Its sad because i was really impressed of the advertisement and i thought thats the fone i need. May i request Nokia to manufacture Quality fones because the money that we spend is a hard earned money.
