Of course, this being a Nokia N-series handset there is a lot going on here. And you are going to need fairly deep pockets if you want the N79 SIM-free because it’ll set you back more than £300 in that guise. It ought to be available free on monthly contracts before long, but I couldn’t see any evidence of that online as I wrote this review. Maybe you will by the time you read it.With N-series handsets coming through thick and fast at the moment, Nokia has to work hard to differentiate between them. But in N-series terms, the N79 is a phone with mid-range specs.However, before I get to the internals, a quick word about the look and feel of this phone. I’ve already said it’s a candybar type.
It weighs a very acceptable 97g and measures 110mm tall, 49mm wide and 15mm thick. It’s also very comfortable to hold.The flat number pad is small, a sacrifice in order to give enough space for a 2.4in screen whose 320 x 240 pixels are clear and bright.

I recently got my hands on an N79. Before buying, I already had a preconception of what to expect based on the reviews and specifications I gathered in the Internet.

Also worth mentioning are the Oxford English Dictionary, Indic SMS and Wavesecure apps. The Radio now has Internet Radio built into it - a feature can be added to N82 free of cost from. Can read out SMS - an ability added to the Feature Pack 2.

So far I could not find any keys for doing the same in N79 in the gallery. However it is there when you Edit the picture, but it is definitely inconvenient to first go to edit menu and then use the zoom keys.
If there is no workaround, this is probably the most annoying omission in N79. Update: You can use the Volume Up/Down buttons to zoom out/in a picture in the gallery. Absence of Xenon flash - Disadvantages are you don't get as bright flash as Xenon, and you cannot take high speed pictures anymore (Xenon lamp burst lasts for about 1 millisecond allowing you to take still picture of high speed objects in the dark). However this disadvantages are partially (or totally depending on your judgment) balanced by the advantages of a LED lamp discussed on the previous section.

What that means is you are more likely to see the 'out of memory' message when you are running too many apps simultaneously - though 72mb should be more than enough. However only 50mb storage means you have to be choosy while installing applications to the phone memory. Unfortunately this might be a problem, many Nokia applications (eg.

Also N79 has a single processor (albeit little faster clockspeed of 369MHz) while N82 has two processors (of 332MHz each).
