We reviewed Nokias N78 back in the summer of 2008 and even in the quick turnover world of mobile phones it almost seems a little too soon to be looking at its successor. But here it is, looking leaner, fitter and offering some significant improvements...

The N79 seems to have followed the N78 with almost indecent haste, which is sure to irritate some, but the advantages are obvious – 5 megapixel camera, increased memory and battery life, plus N-Gage games. Its well worth getting, but if you take the...

You may have seen my Nokia N85 review recently. The N79 and N85 are basically the same phone in different cases. The N79 is a mono block phone; the N85 is a Dual Slider. The two of them came to us as pair to review, so rather than simply repeat ourselv...

Nice phone. Clever phone. If I didn’t use a lot of mobile email I would look seriously at one myself. Though the N85 seems slightly better value given the higher spec screen and the extras.The phone and its Direct Push software did what is said on t...

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. Of course, thi...

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. Design At fir...

The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features, performs well and comes with intelligent covers that add something different to the N-Series. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad, but overall we enjoyed using the N79.

The Nokia N79 is a smaller, powerful Nseries device, and it fits neatly beneath the Nokia N85 in the lineup, even though the larger dual-slider can be found for less. Regardless, the candybar N79 wont win too many fans for its hodge podge design, bu...

Each of these is a very good smartphone and multimedia creation tool. The two most important factors, price and form factor preference, are up to you. Yes, the N96 is a bit faster, has arguably the better camera and a larger display, but the price tag is hefty. The N85 mirrors nearly every feature and brings down size while costing $200 less. Since the biggest missing feature, broadcast TV on the N96, doesn't work in the US we...
