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.

For gps, if only use the basic maps, the street view for malaysia may have been pre loaded in my set, so no data download. except for satellite imaging, must download data.

In my package, nokia give 2 free n-gage games, one serial for activating one of the pre-installed n-gage game in the phone, and one serial for downloading star wars game and activate the game.

ok since i only got this phone late afternoon, i still havent figure out yet what everything does so I will give you my first impression in points form.
1. the phone seems to look better now. not that i say this because i bought it but i wasnt impress with the looks when i saw it at the shop. now i feel its quite an elegant phone. mine is white. no fingerprint marks like black phones.

2. the keypad was flimsy when i first tested a dummy set and a demo set. but mine, i get a solid feel. Its hard to sms while not looking at the keypad cause you cant feel where the keys are.

3. i really like the sliding switch to lock and unlock the keypad. no need to press menu and *

4. when i put on the red or white cover, it does changes theme to match. but the themes are just colors, no patterns. so in the end, its really not a big deal function.

5. there are some pictures stored in the memory card. i played them thru and they look really good and sharp on the LCD. One thing I cant figure out, when I play them as a slide show, the "power saver" or maybe the "screen saver" function still kicks in when the slide is running. I wonder how to overcome this.

6. there are ngage games stored in the memory too but i think they are trials.

7. it comes with plenty of ring tones.

8. camera: the noise is so apparent during night shots even with flash on. havent really play fully with the camera yet.

9. the phone feels heavy and slim

10. the camera's LED are very bright. i wonder how to use them as a torchlight.

11. i tried to use GPS, but Im wondering do I need to download maps?

12. camera - shots can only be taken with the dedicated camera button at the side. i wish the navi wheel button can be use too but no. The side button is hard to use unless you turn your phone sideways

13. the navi-wheel is on the smaller inner button. I thought it was the outer ring like N78 but no. Its too sensitive to use and always overshoot its intended target but otherwise cool. Sometimes nothing seems to happen until it suddely kicks in. You wont understand this until you have one to try.

14. there is no worry for white sets to get dirty or fade color as it is underneath a clear plastic.

so far im really happy with it ! icon_idea.gif

the phone seller says I should charge it for 8 hours initially but i got a feeling that is wrong. I only charge it till it says "full"
what say you?

Im going to sync from Outlook too. How to make sure it syncs from PC to Phone? I dont want it to sync from Phone to PC and wipe out everything since the phone is empty.
