Nokia N79

Call quality was never an issue with the N79, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud thanks to the handset's dual speakers. The vibrating alert was on the stronger side all thanks to the N79's balanced casing.

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.

Pros:
  • Small and light
  • Battery life
  • Personasiable
  • Decent audio and photo
  • FM radio transmitter / regular 3.5 mm headphone jack
Cons:
  • Small screen
  • Not good for web browsing
  • Small keyboard
  • Speakers not very powerful
  • LED Flash
