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.

  • A real Nokia with all the bells and whistles and only 97grams in weight
Cons:
  • Screen exposed
  • scratches quite easily

Excellent everything really. Once you get used to Nokia (I have always used SE phones), it is a treat to work with. That on screen wifi scanner is great!
Pros:
  • Fast phone
  • good camera
  • responsive gps
  • finally a candy bar design with the latest technology
Cons:
  • Nokia organizer

many functions in small package

Despite it having been around for a while, the N79 is a versatile and convenient device. Many useful applications are included by Nokia, including a Podcast browser and Internet radio browser. The music player is decent, and the Maps application works well, especially when used with A-GPS.
