i think eventually they will sell extra covers but what color we dont know

I bought N79 grey color ori, 11 days of usage no hangs, and no prob with the side volume controls. Keypad is little stiff, a bit hard when sms.

How lucky to own a perfect set, myf76! Another lesson to teach us to buy ori!

A funny thing regarding keypad, now I understand why the older N78 (and N82) has a keypad design with their keys crowded together, leaving ample spaces on the edges. I read so many reviews from professional reviewers that complained about their keypad designs being not fully using the free space on the phone, so now Nokia came out with just what they asked for (ie. the keys spreading out all over the bottom area of the phone) in N79. And it shows that there are problems with this design. If u tried N79's keys, u will find that those keys near the edges like 3,6,9,# (right edge) are pretty uncomfortable to reach for right-handers! It will make u feel almost like losing a grip on the phone (with one hand holding) while trying to press on it because it is too near the edge, and the thumb is almost releasing the grip. So now, I use both hands when typing, worrying if I may accidentally drop my brand new device! But I wouldn't consider this a big problem.

I think the white N79 may look better than grey, and the key markings may be easier to read. But the grey N79 feels cool, and sometimes under certain lighting condition, the front grey panel may look whiter than the edges, giving u a white N79 feel.

Grey set with red and white back covers






all the colors



standard dark brown cover -

somehow the green and red here looks awful compare to those see in nokia website.. lmao...

thats what i feel too..... actually the N78 keys are closer together which makes it easier to press. The only key that is too far is the Cancel button on the N78 as it is a bit too far to press with the thumb.

the dull blue and green color doesnt goes well with the white front, i feel. but thats only me....

AP may drop fast, but Ori lowest only RM1650

BTW :

N79 vs SE G900 vs W910i

Hmmmmm....

Where can you get ori that cheap?? lowest i found is RM 1750 woh..

i will choose n79 if u're goin for long run because this phone probably can last a 2 years or more phone cycle.
anyway, the keypad is abit controversial for users. so be sure to test before u buy
go shop test all 3,then decide

THIS seller in Garage Sales who have a shop in Giant, Kelana Jaya

hmmm could it be today??? argh.. the wait is agonizing....!!! right idoblu?

Can this N79 be charge using USB?? N85 heard can be charge by USb woh... Anyone can confirm this??

no usb charging unfortunately for the N79. i think all phones should have USB charging!

my LG kf600 have usb charging ma.....

N85 support usb charging... N79 can exchange cover... haihh... hard to decide Why cant nokia just combine both of them...??

hi there, i wanna ask the owner of n79 here.. wat are the accessories come with the box? For ori set i knew that there will be 1 headset, 2 cover, 4Gb memory card and charger. What about AP set? Did they take out some accessory? i find that the price between AP set and ori is too large.. tat's y i wanna know it before i get this phone. Thanks in advance

is there any difference ???
