SECONDLY YES THE BASS CAN BE PRODUCED BY SETTING UP EQUALISER!
thirdly the phone is as loud at ring tone as it is in mp3! may be a bit more loud!but it depends upon the files u r using for ringtones!most of the time i am just usind the full mp3 as ring tones!there is an option for 3d tones!and if you set the trajectory right then the result is quite satisfactory!

    Yes, the nokia n79's dual LED's can be used as a torch. They are extremely bright, bright enough to light up a whole room

          and the looks is not like any nseries!it has thrown away the ugliness and bulkiness of nseries!(actually i used to have nightmares about the looks of n82!)
          the set is the slimmest the best looking of nseries!the music is awesome! pic quality is great and dont talk about the chargew! just read my previous post in this or the previous page! u will find that it is a true combination of beauty and d beast!! i recommend to buy this!

          =============
          Totally agree with this.
          This is what Nseries should have been.
          Forget other past Nphones and get it.

            SHaKeeL, 13 Nov 2008Hi Dear Whats bad in it? What about Office files and camera? (i m asking 3rd party Office ... moreI didnt try the i7110.
            The Bads:
            1. The auto-rotation sometimes acts too responsive
            2. The Navi Wheel is way much sensitive
            3. When a song in repeat only mode, the songs stops after played it back for 2-3 times (that happens rarely)
            4. The real player shows videos blank (rarely)

              1. It did for me too.
              4. I use www.ownskins.com and create my own themes there. The themes came preinstalled with the N79 are very lively, youthful and gorgeous.

                2. The bass is deeper, rich. I only have to tweak the left-most bar of my own preset (treble and bass) to 5.
                3. The oomph is gorgeous.

                The phone is as fast as the N82. At night good shots could be taken well with the two led flash, but its tricky.

                    Thanks Zaheed, it helps alot. I had the n81 and sold it after a week, because it played so softly through the music player for some odd reason. Now i am back with my old 6233 which loudspeakers are from the heavens, loud, clear and bassy. Now i want to buy the n79. Two last questions, wil it help to adjust the eqeulizer sothat it has more bass or is it more a hardware problem? Does it play loud through the music player or loud through its ringtones, because my previous n81 played only loud through the ringtones? Thanks alot for your help.

                            but in the head phone the whole story changes!n79 shows its true colour!it's abeast in producing great quality sound!use a good head phone(i use BOSE in-ear and you are going to kick away your ipod!

                                  Highly unacceptable at price of Rupees 51500 in pakistan under advance warranty which is equal to 675 us dollars it should ve been reasonably priced like N73 for 325 us dollars i think just to lure ppl for N85 which is at 725 or N96 at 700

                                        I've used all the N Series sets & m crazzy about changin phones.
                                        just got this phone today in Khi,Pakistan for Rs. 40,000 (US $500).
                                        & alli can say is, "Dis is d best ever N Series set"
                                        Music quality is the richest ever, by Nokia ... It's too much awesome
                                        Camera Quality is Average as it lacks a Xenon Flash.
                                        This set is perfect, and it deserves the price tag of US $500.
