QUOTE(VeeJay @ Mar 25 2010, 02:37 PM) You could use I-GPS is you dont want to pay!  Its a little slow in connecting, but once connected not a problem. Keys, you need to get used to it, unless one has big fingers. Finger nail might be helpful!  I-gps? how to do it?

Hmm...i think ur battery got some problem seen u just online and standby only. My N79 can last for 4-5days with just normal standby, music play for 30mins and sometime surf web for half hour too. Normally N79 battery is well performance can last for long time.
