[deleted post]N79 had FM transmitter, good key pad n good battery life. but have not xenon flash lamp (meaning dual led lamp only).

N82 had dual processor, xenon flash lamp. But have not FM transmitter, have bad battery life n bad keypad to usage.

I think N79 is the TOP DOG of PAST. But still ok to usage now.

If n85 n n86 is not a slide phone model. May be i will choose them. Actually every slide model are easy broken or damage for heavy duty.

This phone is an absolute bag of rubbish and I will NEVER BUY ANYTHING from NOKIA again!!

The phone has all sorts of software issues including rebooting when a call is received, changing themes, random restarts, even lost ALL my text messages one morning for no reason at all?? And this is with the latest firmware...The user interface is slow and the actual user-experience is totally frustrating in both hardware AND software terms...I've had three replacements and they've all been the same, utter rubbish and wait until you check out NOKIA OVI Suite. Expect to hit CTRL ALT DEL quite often... absolutely rubbish from NOKIA...

If you want a phone that will completely annoy you, lose all your data, cost money, and is what feels like an untested product then get one. Its a swiss army knife that will irritate you every single day that you own it.

Piku, 30 Oct 2010Don’t buy this phone in this price; I am using this about 8months, more than 100 times it hang... moreYou need to hard reset it. Google it. If not, Try to connect in bluetooth mode, backup ur data and contacts etc, and via NSU (Nokia software updater, reinstall its firmware.

I have same problem, but only specific to the shortcut silver key, where it hanged alot n becomes extremely slow. I used Phoenix for flashing, if u know some person who knew it, ur work will be easy.

Imran, 17 Nov 2010Hello guys!Please help me decdie which phone should I buy? Nokia N79 or 6700 or X6 16 Gb . I think Nokia N79 will suit you better as it boasts with a lot of amazing features.Moreover its speed too is considerable,ie, it is far more different than other old sluggish Symbian phones...Also its screen is glossy and flat. Overall it is a good buy at its reasonable price:)

I had N73 from the past 2.5 years but unfortunately it got brokon during an accident. So I went to market to purchase new set, but I was truely surprised that I was not happy to see any of the sets, as I am fall in love with my set. It was like my kid. Then finally I purchased N-79 and I am fully satisfied with this set. Its like reincarnation of N-73.Thank you nokia...
