Anonymous, 27 Nov 2008n82's advantage of having a so much better camera with a very powerful xenon flash, dual proce... moreHa ha ha. I cant believe you. Im sure if n79 could transform a car, you would still flaunt the n82 and its camera, xenon flash, etc. Most people who buy the n82 dont even know it has a dual processor or 3d graphics accelerator (nor do they care). The n79 has features that you can actually see in action. There is no way you can compare a 3d graphics accelerator to a fm transmitter.
Plus the difference in pricing between n79 and n82 isnt huge (less than 50 euros). The music on the n79 is far better than n82. Check the audio quality tests on the review and you shall see it comes close to n96, although its a bit less louder than n96.
And for the record, the n79 camera isnt disappointing at all. GSMArena is the only website to complain about it. Most sites say its good and comparable to 6220c with sample pictures posted for proof. Are they all wrong?
N82 is camera centric while n79 is a general all rounder.
So stop trying to spoil the n79 image (and n82 image in the process).

Sure, for the price now N82 is a real bargain (16200 bahts in Thailand = 344 euros), but no way i will buy this monster size TerminaTor phone. N79 looks far more elegant. And the video light is a must, when filming close up bedroom exercise...

          n79 doesnt specialize on anything. it has 5mp camera but image quality is disappointing. it has good sound quality but not the best, n96 and even n81 have better sound quality than this. a smarter choice will be n82 now that its cheaper and has the best camera ever on a phone. while n79 is just a n82 copycat but still under par with n82. get the n82, cheaper but better!

Other than that n79 clearly has either the same or better features like fm transmitter, navi-wheel, better looks, better keypad, better screen and speakers, better music quality, newer OS, etc.

                Anonymous, 27 Nov 2008does the sound quality of N79 improve over the N78?Yes, it does have better sound quality. But it comes nowhere close to SE standards, sadly enough. :(

                  The blue back cover comes with the white phone.
                  The grey has: red, white and brown back colors.
                  The white has: blue, green and brown back color.
                  But you might want to check it out, because the options may be different in different countries.

N79 also lack 3D Graphic Accelerator. Benchmark test prove it that N82 has better hardware for processing the camera, video decoding, recording and playback. With 3D Graphic Accelerator u can enjoy the 3D or HD Gaming more smoothly.
                      - N82 camera better with Xenon Flash.

                                      There are number of posts floods where N82 is tried to get over an N79, I say, come ondudes, both of em are the best. The N79 has better music quality, show me how the N82 does have that kind of SQ?
                                      The N79 handles H.264/MP4 videos more smoother.
                                      The N79 has the same better camrea installment that an N82 does have except for the Xenon flash.
                                      The N79 hasFP 2 rvision 3.2, it has nicer options in uitlities.
                                      N79 comes with OVI.
                                      It comes with 4 GB memory.
                                      The N79 crahses less, hangs less.
                                      The N79 has CHANGEABLE WALLPAER menu which N82 doesnt have.
                                      The N79 is design wise, sizewise, weightwise (!) cool than an N82.
                                      My main concern is the newer the better.
                                      So, agreed with ehsan, N79 is the better, and the N82 is also cool.

                                        n82 is better than n79
                                        huakakakka
                                        perhaps it's better to wait for 1-2 months to buy it,
                                        i myself has been waiting 4 6months to buy n82 complement my m600i, don rush into something new better wait for logic price and stable firmware as fp2 is a new thing. whoever d best may we never regret our buying decision
                                        cheers
