Nokia N79 Review
23 December 2008
| Avg user rating:
The Nokia N79 is a candybar phone with a large 2.4-inch screen. With its white fascia and customisable-colour rear casing, it’s a nice looking device and it feels well balanced in the hand. However, the keys are meanly proportioned and this affects the user experience.
The S60 user interface is as intuitive and user friendly as always. However, because of the poorly designed keypad with its thin, uncomfortable keys and unresponsive navi wheel, the overall user experience is poor, which is not something you can often say about a Nokia phone.
As is the case with Nseries, the N79 has an excellent feature set, with the five-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss components, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and A-GPS the pick.
If you can overlook the fiddly keypad, the phone performs admirably, whether you’re taking photos, browsing the web, listening to music, or using the location-based functionality.
The N79 serves up over five hours of talktime which is perfectly acceptable.
Pros: A typically strong Nseries feature set.
Cons: The keys and keypad layout makes for a difficult user experience.

Verdict: The N79’s impressive functionality is overshadowed by a poor user experience.
