      - either disable voicemail, or
      - set your phone's network to "manual" to prevent it from picking up foreign networks and starting to roam when you're getting close to the border. Of course, that won't work if you're going abroad as you'll have no choice but roaming.

              to nokia:
              please, do not put silver stuffs on your phones, i hate visiting your care centers all the time just for changing my phones ext. parts due to discoloration, wearing off of the paint, or any anomalous happenings on the ext. parts of your phones.

                Dude, you'll have to wait for bout 6 months or more for them to perfect their OS bugs. And ive heard that this s60 9.3 os is still on beta. Although symbian had announced their 9.5ver of thier s60, i guess it will never be knew because 9.3 had this dvh tech. On other feature packs.

At least you can always unlock the phone to view the date, time etc. (at least with this bug you dont have to restart the phone like most other phones). Are there any other problems you've encountered with the n79?

                                    I was expecting a minimum amount of 128mb ram.But it disappointed me.I think I'm not going for this.5320XM will be my next target i guess.

                                        Thanks for the review in English, it does not sound like the camera is that great. Lots of noise and blurry pictures. I am looking for something where I can make some pretty good prints up to 8 x 10. Back to the N82 or one of the 8 megapixel giants. I just wish for one in candy bar form. Dislike the slide.

                                        It also looks like this phone is pretty ugly, kinda like the N82 with it weird spacing under the screen.
