Good: Fast phone, good camera, responsive gps, finally a candy bar design with the latest technology!

Bad: Nokia organizer

Comment: 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!

Good: camera, sound

Bad: battery life, OS, alarm, date, keypad, click-wheel

Comment: Ok phone, with a good camera, at a price.
Problems so far (five weeks), the click wheel only works when it wants to - so that's been turned off now, the date changes for no reason at all (suddenly it is later in 2009 - time travel!!), and the alarm doesn't sound again if you press Snooze when the phone is turned off. The OS is not THAT slow, but tends to fade in and out really slowly with the images menu...

Good point is my phone bill is much lower, since I don't text as much - sending a text is a punishment on the keypad.

Ok, ok... the Wifi and browser is quite good. Just make sure you buy outside mainland China, as it is not available with Wifi. Hong Kong will be fine.

Good: The design, features & performence.

Bad: The click wheel doesn't work fluently & Screen could be of 2.6'' of 2.8''

Comment: I bought it 1 month ago. I'm very impressed with it and is loving it. The picture and video quality is great but at that price point Nokia could make the product more stylish and feature packed. I've checked the N96 and N95 8GB but the quality and built of N79 was great. The audio quality and image clarity is wonderful. I've spent my money for buying a breakthrough device with Exchangeable covers and great battery life !!!
