Data transfer, battery
N79 is perfect in data transfer. Should I enlist it? GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA – these are the supported mobile network technologies, there is WLAN, stereo Bluetooth and microUSB 2.0, although the handset still can’t be charged on this interface. Something was wrong with the phone I was testing as although I could choose between Mass Storage mode and the one that connects with PC Suite, but my phone wanted both of them at the same time, which disabled the connection, then phone connected and disconnected several times and finally everything worked fine.
The built-in browser is the usual Minimap, here automatic screen rotation is great again and there’s still not much to complain about. We have an RSS reader too. There is quite a massive battery under the cover; it has a performance of 1200 mAh, which kept the phone online for only two days in my case. Okay, we know that a Philips is much better, but compared to previous Nokia smartphones this is an average result.
Summary. Nokia N79 is good. Moreover: it’s very good. There is no perfect phone, so this isn’t one either, the photos are quite poor for now, the navi-wheel is annoying, this smart-cover thing is completely useless, it won’t charge via microUSB, but my greatest problem is that it’s not made of metal. The plastic is high quality, but… others can do such a thing, even the Finnish guys have made a 6500 Slide or an N91 earlier. Of course I would never want to discourage anyone, if its price will shape as in the case of N82, it will be a great buy.
I didn’t give it a Highly recommended award only because I have seen the display of N85. So it’s:
