I don't know about kae7, but I already have an N86, but right now switching to N79.
Although the N86 has better specs overall, the main reason is convenience. The N79 is much lighter (97g) than the N86 (149g). It's also thinner. The candy bar form is also quicker to use, I don't have to push a slider like the N86.

also, hard to slip into the pocket if wear tight jeans

i'm not changing to N79.. i'm just use N79 as my 2nd phone..
N85 still my first/primary phone...

there are no problem with my N85..

I own to phone..

Wow thats is so heavy for a sliding phone

Even my nokia N900 weight only 181g

Exactly! I came across this problem a few times with some phones.
Sometimes I wear loose shorts and if they don't have strings for tying I can't carry heavy phones otherwise my shorts would drop!
Yeah, N900 is the biggest and heaviest, which is why it's not suitable for me.

Actually its not about how heavy it is but what it is capable off. I also dislike heavy phones but there is no light phones that so capable like n900

I agree. In my case I just need a phone with Wi-Fi/GPS/Camera, is enough for me.
I don't need to surf much on a phone because I'm always near a laptop or PC.
When I have to travel and I feel the need to surf, I bring my Vaio.

well.. i will waiting for the small and light phones that better than N900

Actually I feel unsafe using N79.
My previous Sony Eric P990 weights 150g and 26mm of thickness. And I used to keep P990 inside pocket everyday.

So that day when I come out the phone shop, I tot my new N79 is left inside the box since I feel nothing on my pocket. But in fact it is inside my pocket, just I can't feel it, what a HUGE difference of weight and size.

Now I has a bad habit of checking my pocket fr. time to time when taking public transport, scared my N79 lost without knowing it.

Thats why i carry 1 Nokia N900 and Nokia 5800XM.

5800XM only 109g

N79 is a great all-rounder phone, it has wi-fi, a decent camera, gps and all the 3g services like video calling. A good priced phone too below 1k!

i will agree with u on that

how do u guys protect your N79 from scratches? any case u're using? i want to use epikcase or capdase one, but none for N79

Hi guys, I think I have too many phones. So I've decided to sell my N79.
If anybody interested, see my Garage Sales topic.

for me,weight will never be a problem.coz i bring my bag all the time.i put it into my bag.haha.

Wow, that's fast!
Not even 1 week of using. Keypad not comfortable compared to your other phone?


Btw, I think the the bass produced N79 original earphone is too soft (maybe i got used with SE's Megabass?). Anyone here can suggest other earphone which has better bass effect? My budget below RM50. Thank you.

below RM 50 ..?
i'm using Sony Ericsson Stereo handfree HPM-85 (with remote control) - buy from hito1115

Yeah, the N79 keypad doesn't feel very nice. The number keys are okay, but the D-pad always causes me problems.
Otherwise the phone's functionality is pretty good.
But I think my N82, N86 more than enough liao... too many N series phones...

if u have better budget u can consider Nokia BH-503. Quite nice bass for me.

i like N82 xenon's only. they keypad seems weird to use
