Strengths: Design, excellent photos, Wi-Fi, U.S. 3G support, GPS, battery life

Weaknesses: Call quality, navigation controls

The Nokia N79 is one of the best smartphone from Nokia’s fantastic line of N-series. As you have seen in most of the N-series phones, multimedia is again the top-notch feature with this model too. The newer N-series models from Nokia have almost the same features as the N79 but they are a tad costlier on compromise. The feature that puts the N79 right at the top over all its tough competitors is its 5-megapixel camera that takes brilliant and high-quality images. Nokia designers have come up with a revolutionising look made of a white face and chrome edges that makes the Nokia N79 a must-have one.

It’s too light and slim that makes it extremely easy to handle, and at the same time feeling that hold none. The N79 model also comes with three cool interchangeable back plates in vibrant colours like brown, red and white. Its touch-sensitive navigation toggle with a centre key, talk and end buttons are quite disappointing as they are cramped and small for a big or medium hand either. In spite of certain drawbacks in controls and keypad, the N79 is preferred over the N78.

A host of connectivity options include Internet over 3G or via the built-in Wi-Fi, keep it right on top of all its competitors. Thanks to the built-in A-GPS and Nokia Maps app for better navigation functionality. The N79 model also features microSD expansion slot, micro USB port, volume rocker and a 3.5mm headphone/AV jack.

Equalling its performance is the lithium-ion battery with a rated talk time of 5.5 hours a, but has proved 8.5 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge. Though the N79 is way ahead of all in features, it basic call quality sounds mixed.

Despite minor glitches, Nokia N79’s amazing multimedia features is sure to blow you away!!!!!
