N79 is slow?? U must be kidding, with the new firmware, My N79 now is even speedier and works like a charm. Actually I've been looking around for a new phone for the past 1 months or so, nothing wrong with my N79, just "gatal" to change to a new phone, most probably a touchscreen phone. BUT, after doing my survey, I decided to stick with N79 for the moment, unless I want to spend RM2000 for an upgraded phone. N79 has it ALL, plus a good camera, GPS. email (push email and Nokia messaging), facebook, myspace,twitter,flickr, YM,WM, modern looking, nice size and light.

I really dont know why people are so proud telling me they are using Blackberry and E-series Nokia for business/email purposes. I can do ALL that with my N79 too, no problemo. N79's camera is way better than E71 , HTC's and ALL Blackberry phones. And its symbian, where there tonnes of free software I can installed. Now my N79 is my internet radio, really loved this feature.

Cheers

guys, i had some problem when i try to install Garmin XT to my mobile. the installation went on smoothly, but when i try to open the apps, the welcome screen popped out and then the apps will closed down by itself. how to solve this?

People now are more like stick to touchscreen and bigger screen size

try to reinstalled again...

edit 8/10 : problems solved, but i'm using previous version of GMXT (5.00.100).

Anyone can pls suggest some website to download nice theme for N79?

i agreed with u bro... i have been gatal gatal looking for new phone lately.. but then again, when i survey all phone, i found that my n79 is still perform a lot better than those high tech touch screen phone.. at least the gps and camera is perform far away better.

so, for time being, i will stick with my n79 and waiting for a really powerful phone launch in future

sometimes i really really lazy to transfer photos to my notebook coz i don bring my cables out, and my notebook got no card readers. so its easy to use mobile upload. Also, i know N97 has alot of difference, but wad's so hard of a software? so the price difference of RM1k and i cant have facebook mobile on my N79? tat's ridiculous.

write a letter to nokia malaysia and complain to them. It is a long shot but worth the try since u also got nothin to lose

But i think they will just say wait for a new firmware update only.
It's nothing much can change if only firmware update.

How to see chinese character in the phone?
and i want to add chinese language ...

guys are u able to use the usb cable to charge phone?

this depends on ur region firmware...if urs is AP set, u can change ur phone region code, then install the firmware with chinese language...

nope

OMG my memory in my 8GB memory card always corrupt...=,="

nope, don't think this phone supports USB charging.

anyway guys, I had some problem here. when I try to copy a contact from the phone to the sim card, at first it looks like it had been copied.
but when I tried to view the sim contacts the other time, the previous number was not there. I had tried to copy the contact to the sim few times, but then it will disappear from sim. what should I do now?

one more thing, my phone got a problem to recognize the contact especially when receiving sms. the problem also happened when receiving calls sometimes. how to solve the problem?

1) Did u marks all>options>create backup>phone to memory card. (u will saw all contact been store in memory card, inside others folder.)

2) Contact name cannot shown is because of u had double save in both sim and phone memory of ur contacts.

same here... been using n79 for 6 months now... gatal also to change phone.... BUT, i really couldn't find a better one..... N79 really has it all... ..
btw, i love the fm transmitter feature.... a feature you seldom in recent models.. (except N series, but then again, they are not as good as n79)

Added on October 20, 2009, 8:20 ambeen using garmin xt for a while....share some experience
sometimes u get weak signal, but not very often. i was told this is due to satelite signals not because of n79... it happens some times. but most of the time, the software run ok for me.

the voice navigation is sometimes misleading & sometimes no responsive to the current situation (delay). so, not really reliable. suggest u look at the screen, look at the map. it's more accurate.

hope this helps

but i do like the qwerty key board
and, since xpress series, the music is supposingly better than n79.

anyway i do just fine with n79 music quality.

Guys, I have traded in my beloved N79 with Samsung Omnia i900 yesterday. Did it with a heavy heart, but cant resist the temptation pf a touchscreen phone and big screen. Furthermore, the shop willing to take my N79 for RM650.00, which I think is a good deal coz I bought it for RM950 last May.

However, N79 camera is much better than Omnia, but, I guess there's no single handphone that has it ALL.

cheers
