Released together with Nokia N85, Nokia N79 is candybar-shaped and Symbian-powered multimedia phone that has pretty much same features and specifications of the N85, excepts missing OLED screen, a more advanced and better display compared to TFT display that the N79 has. The features and specifications of the N79 include a built-in 5.0-megapixel digital camera, MP3 digital music, GPS navigation system, Video Player, Video Recorder, Stereo speakers, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Nokia packs a 4 GB of microSD card in every N79, saving customers money for having to buy an additional microSD card. This Nokia phone also supports the latest N-Gage platform.

Nokia N-series phones are widely known for being rather beastly affairs, with big bodies housing features that make the iPhone 3G look like an £8 Alcatel mobile. But the N79, one of two new high-end cells from the Nokia stable, looks and feels like a solid but unspectacular candy bar from lower down Nokia’s extensive range.
