Nokia N79 - Phone Review
techradar.com Reviews
Published on: 12/12/2008 12:30 PM
Nokia's Nseries phones have all been feature-packed wonders of miniaturisation. Even so, they've tended to be on the chunky side, but this latest version is the smallest yet. The Nokia N79 could almost be called svelte at just 15mm thick and weighing in at 97g (5g lighter than its predecessor, the N78)....read the full review

2 of 5 Cheap and flimsy Friday, October 09, 2009
A Customer from Dallas, TX   

The features of this phone are pretty good but the overall build quality was terrible. First the keypad is awful to use. Instead of the numbers 123, 456, 789 having their own individual keys the numbers share a triplet piece of creeky plastic with 3 numbers laid out on one huge key. Even with skinny pointy fingers the build of the keypad makes texting a chore. Its very easy to hit the wrong keys or hit the right keys and have it input other numbers attached from the same 3 number key. The best way to describe the phone is its a Nokia phone in a Fisher Price housing. If youre used to the solid E series builds this one will have you returning it after about 10 minutes.

4 of 5 Useful Device!!! Friday, January 23, 2009
U.S. from Boston, MA   
This is my second Nokia phone but first smart-phone.N79 packages full featured entertainment options with music player, real player, and other multimedia options to transfer/send content to other devices. I heard low rep about the physical design of the phone. For example keypad is cramped and so on. That is true to some extent. But considering it is a candy bar phone,the keypad is not that bad. Yes, it would have been nice to have a bit bigger design so, the screen and overall control may have some more space. It is a stylish device indeed.It has plenty of UI themes built in and of course one can download more anytime. Moreover, one can change the backplates to different colors. It certainly gives the phone more character. N79 has almost all the functions of a business device. I wish they can have blackberry connect client for this device to connect to corporate mails. Pros:Full featured, lot of applications like Wi-Fi,GPS,Entertainment,VoIP,mail,IM, etc etc. Lot of options to connect to other media- for example, physical I/O connector, universal phone jack, and Bluetooth.Good battery life.good response time.Stylish Cons: Physical design can be improved.No blackberry connect client support.

5 of 5 Awesome!!! Thursday, January 15, 2009
T.G. from Long Beach, Ca  
Got this phone the day after Christmas. I had a N76 before I got this and this phone is ten times better. The software is so smooth and responsive. Plenty of apps and the Ngage games look beautiful!! The GPS works fast and flawless. It comes preset with all carriers info. So all you have to do is insert your SIM card and start texting, calling, and surfing the net. The 5 megapixel camera may sound like over kill but it's better than my 12 megapixel regular camera! I highly recommend this phone for some who is looking for cool phone to play with and hold, while at the same time capable of keeping your life organized with all the apps.
