Excellent
The good: Exchangable, intelligent covers; Wi-Fi; HSDPA; GPS. View score
The bad: Keypad could be more defined.
The bottom line: The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features, performs well and comes with intelligent covers that add something different to the Nseries. Overall, we enjoyed using the N79. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad.

Pros: User friendly
Cons: Lousy buttons
Opinion:
I have bought this phone on good friday. Within 3 days, the multimedia button came off. Went to Nokia service center , I was SHOCKED to hear that it will take me 2 to 3 weeks for the keypad to be replace. If the LCD display is spoilt, will I have to wait for months??
Dumped my N95, bought N79
Nov 8, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Looks simple but slick. Very light and slim. Interchangeable back covers . Has all the features of N95 with minor bugs fixed. Excellent battery life, surfed internet on wifi for hours and only one bar used; does not get overheated like N95. One button camera start-up is instant, not lagging like N95. High resolution camera and video. Easy music organiser. Auto-rotate screen. Keypads lights up in dark. Has N-gage games.
Cons: Dumbest predictive text ever - can't spell "eat", "stay", "drunk", "yesterday"," tomorrow" and other simple words., Keypads hard as nails, fingers are numbed from pressing. Has tendency to freeze when using headphones. Navi-wheel is great but does not work on menu scrolling. No free games; games are trial versions.
Opinion:
Bought it at SGD$693 in Singapore's Nokia shop one week ago. Comes with free 3 months GPS and free music downloads of one album. Despite the cons, no regrets so far.
