Nokia N79 review: Nokia N79

The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features and performs well. Unlike other N-series handsets, the N79 comes with covers that are recognised by the phone, which changes its theme accordingly. It's not the most exciting feature ever, but it does add something different. Overall, we enjoyed using the N79. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad If you're a fan of exchangeable covers, the Nokia N79 might just be the phone for you. Boasting similar features to the Nokia N95, the N79 uses an intelligent-casing system that adds a little extra to an otherwise mundane accessory. The Nokia N79 will be made available soon for free on a monthly contract.

The Nokia N79 is a feature-packed phone with an old school twist -- exchangeable covers. The N79 is available for free from ￡25 per month. While the inclusion of an FM Radio is fairly common in mobiles these days, the N79 also has an FM transmitter, which enables you to play tracks through a car...

After the recent onslaught of phones that offer full frontal touchscreens and 8-megapixel cameras it is a bit of a relief to spend a week with an ordinary looking, candybar handset that has a standard numberpad where you expect to find it.

The phone and its Direct Push software did what is said on the label, but the text to screen ratio and absence of a QWERTY keyboard or touch screen made it too cumbersome for practical email use, in my opinion.

N79, all bells & whistles below 100 gram

I fell in the pool and that was the final drop my good old Nokia 6610 did not survive. I dried it immediately, it worked for a while but the buttons were mixed up. I have the N79 now for two weeks and it is exactly the phone I need....

The N79 seems to have followed the N78 with almost indecent haste, which is sure to irritate some, but the advantages are obvious – 5 megapixel camera, increased memory and battery life, plus N-Gage games.
