Complete Review:

STYLE AND INTERFACE:

The nokia N79 has a plastic finish. The phone has an excellent user interface.The symbian OS 9.3 looks great.The 3.5 mm jack is placed on the top of the phone.The power key is located near to this jack.The left side has the MICRO SD slot and the USB slot.Both are covered with a common lid.The right side has two speakers,the volume control key(which also acts as the zoom key in camera mode) and the camera key.At the bottom iyou have the microphone(mouth piece).The D-pad is really cool and the navi-wheel navigation working is great.

DISPLAY AND SOUND:

The N79 has a large 2.4 inch QVGA display.The phone's screen clarity is good at sun light too.Nokia has added its innovative touch to the phone with its smart Xpress-On covers feature, beleive it or not , the theme of the phone changes to suit the cover.The phone package also includes sets of covers.Coming to the music player,it supports all popular audio formats.There is an improvement in sound quality.The speakers are really great.

VIDEO AND ENTERTAINMENT:

The video player is same as in other N series phone and can be played in full screen in both landscape and portrait mode.The FM Radio works fine with RDS and visual studio support.The inbuilt FM transmitter is a notable addon to the phone.The FM radio receiver is quite good to pick up signals during movement.The gallery is same as the normal N-Series with an additional feature of 3D rotating view.

CAMERA:

One may consider that the phones whopping 5 MP camera is a real plus for the phone ,But the quality of imaging is not so great.Even though it has a dual LED and an autofocus,the picture quality is not upto the mark.The consolation is the geotagging which works with videos too.The phone records video at 30 fps in MPEG-4 and 3GP formats.

BROWSING,CONNECTIVITY AND GPS:

As usual the phone has an excellent web browser packed with it.The pages can be zoomed and viewed.And again,we have the cursor which can be moved with the D-Pad.The phone has the W-LAN and edge facilities.The GPS comes with usual 3 month free voice guided nagivation.But the GPS takes about 10minutes to lock on.This is not good for an N series phone.GPS is not up to the standards.
