Nokia N79

: Portions of the Features section were taken from our review of the Nokia N96, since both smartphones share a number of similar features. The Nokia N79 might get overshadowed by some of its flashier N series siblings like the Nokia N96 but it should not be ignored.
Pros:
  • The Nokia N79 offers a slim and attractive design and packs in a load of multimedia features, including a 5-megapixel camera that takes excellent photos
  • The Symbian smartphone also features integrated Wi-Fi, U.S
  • 3G support, Bluetooth, and GPS
Cons:
  • The N79's navigation controls and dialpad are a little cramped
  • and call quality was a bit mixed
