    E71 and N79 have the same processor speed and the same capabilities except for the camera, as long as they share the same price, I prefer to buy the N79. second, the buttons of e71 are really small. any opinion please reply

However, that's what one gets when one buys a new phone when it's first released. I never, ever buy a new phone right after it's initial release. I wait at least six months for them to made revisions to the hardware and to release new firmware before buying.

          Rahul, 21 Nov 2008I have bought N79 couple days back. I had N73 which has got lot bugs and dead now. So i though... moreNokia has again managed to come up with Failure Nseries N79. Although the look is awesome can't comparable with any other model. However, if the phone doesn't work properly its just piece of junk. It freezes like hell even after upgrading the firmware. Dont know when Nokia will stop cheating people selling defective NSeries Models. Hats of to Sony Ericsson mobile stable operation system never hangs. If you are looking for good long lasting phone choose Sony Ericssion any model but never opt for N79. I had very bad a experience after getting this handset. My N73 had problem given it for repair in Nokia care,they given up and said can't be fixed. Got N79 piece of junk and i will again have to visit Nokia seeking fix for it. Nokia should learn from other competetors in the market.....Very bad...Nokia!! you harrash people like anything..

            Anonymous, 22 Nov 2008With what back color options does the grey color phone come? And the white one?Hi, Buddy, currently, Nokia N79 is available in two colors Gray and White.

            The Gray color version comes with three back covers white, red and brown.
            &
            The White color version comes with blue, green and brown.

            Brown is common in both versions.

            It is the matter of choice, but, the red and the white one look great on N79.

            It is available for Rs. 19,900.00/- in India.

                    it is of great disappointment to inform you all that n79 is not what is being claimed. i purchased the handset on 26-10-08 & ob 08-11-08 i had started having problem with the handeset. it started dispalying phone memory full? delete some memory & on pressing ok the phone switch off itself. the handset is at nokia care at vellore(tamilnadu)since 17-11-08, but till date no confirmation of return of handset after clearing the problem. so please be sure beforebuying nokia n79......

Actually Nokia brought vast improvement over the recent FP2 Packed Nseries phones..someone may find no difference in audio quality between an N85 and an N96, but another one may find it.

                                    Rahul, 21 Nov 2008I have bought N79 couple days back. I had N73 which has got lot bugs and dead now. So i though... moreN79 pwns what SE offers in their recent music solutions.No offence, the SE phones provide excellent sound quality but this time Nokia with their FP2 Devices like N79, N85 and 24 bit audio chip boasting N96 win over the all. If you spend more money on HPs from SinHizer, Sony, Shure etc they can drive this rig even better.
                                    The camera is IMHO, the next best one the N82 (which has Xenon flash). I took a picture at night with the dual LED and the picture was vivd and detail.
                                    The phone has best software stability among all other Nseries phones, I heard few people have their N79 freeze, hang,m restarts etc but I thing they are very few and even if a SW upgrade will fix em all.

I had N73 which has got lot bugs and dead now. So i thought I will never go for N series which has software problem. But unfortunetely I did the mistake again and took N79. The sound quality is good enough in N79 but I would suggest go for Sony Erricsion phone they offer what they promise. N79 again has lot of software problem which freezes when user try to forward or go to next try. It freezes so badly that you can't do anything except removing the battery. Camera is worst than any other phone even though its 5 Mp can't even compare with 1.3 Mp. One more problem with real player sometime it doesnt play video it shows blank screen only sound comes out. Nokia N series Model's Sucks!!!! They should kicked out of the market. Waste of money taking N series. If you take my advice dont buy Nseries phones even.
