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.

Nokia N79
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.

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

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.
Pros:
- Exchangable, intelligent covers
- Wi-Fi
- HSDPA
- GPS.
Cons:
- Keypad could be more defined.

Pros:

- 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

The Nokia N79 could almost be called svelte at just 15mm thick and weighing in at 97g (5g lighter than its predecessor, the...
