i took this phone in the spring, I chose between the N82 and E71 chose this gray, I liked it all that there is a GPS Wi-Fi, cards for 3 months, but you can install from Yandex and even with traffic jams with various games ICQ programs, etc. Interesting thing When changing the panel, the phone changes not only outside, but automatically the topic on it (surprising girls \u003d)) Simba 9.3 Excellent not that on H82. FM Transmitter Great thing true just only works 5 meters only. Excellent 1200mAh battery larger I have not seen keeping a week well here like and all

The housing is conveniently falling into the hand - the screen is clear and big - pleased with the Navi wheel (initially turned off in the settings) - Bluetooh + WLAN - 5MP camera with a curtain, which all else manages the start / closing of the application for photographing. There is an extra camera from the front side. - Multimedia key - quick access to the Internet, music, video, etc. - HTML support browser (not only WAP) - 2 additional speakers for call / music, good quality Sound. - Loud connection of good quality - convenient work with contacts, there is synchronization, transfer tools from another phone and backup - speech interpreter (although it reads only in English) - 4GB card, wired headset - Delicate flashal of Navi wheel in the dark is not annoying when

Easy in circulation, intuitive menu, the ability to flash on your own through the standard Nokia program. A chic fotik is an excellent macro shot (so as not to rewrite the work of various instances - it is easier to sfotkat). In nature, removes no worse than soap. GPS with Yandex perfectly spends on traffic jams, and satellites catch even lying on the front seat of the car (and not on the glass as recommended). Hovering battery, with active conversations (up to 70 minutes a day), GPS on the way to work and back (3 hours a day with a glowing screen) grabs for 2 days with interest, if without navigation, only on conversations and player - 3-4 day. In travels are indispensable, in the plane you want a movie, you want music for the whole flight. At the airport, Khosh Radio, Has WiFi, clings to all. Very cool FM transmitter - driving any song

Chip;
- The memory card cover fell off. The multimedia menu button also, glued to Pokcipol;
- brake rare;
- the keyboard is not too convenient, the horizontal orientation is generally silent - narrow and long;
- It happens, reboots in itself. Soft glitches are treated hard-rezet, but it is pretty hemorrhoids ...
- The dynamics are dead as much as possible. You have to look for special call melodies with high frequencies;
- Wheel Navi - turned off and forgot, only interferes. Especially infuriates when accidentally triggered in some drop-down list, for example, in messages. And send no way.
- T9 constantly forgets words;
- For some reason, 16 GB memory card does not support.

Soon, in my opinion it will be necessary to insert money there, why is the first level free, and the second and the third ... paid, such as I tried the game, I liked it, Brad. It is inconvenient to insist the Internet, after the fifth attempt threw the case, it is impossible to create folders in music and pictures, in the kit there is no adapter to the map and you have to download via USB.

* Curve the implementation of VoIP telephony - you have to use Fring.
* Less Operative Page - on large web pages built-in browser brazer. On Opera Mini, however, no problems
* Body assembly slightly worse than N82

To be honest, this phone disappointed me very much ... slows down quite noticeable, the sound of the speaker is very mediocre, it is not always possible to hear the call. Take an incoming call, too, the problematic phone does not respond to pressing the button, it is sometimes necessary to press 5-6 times. And even after the connection, the interlocutor hears me immediately, and I am his seconds after 20. The screensaver on the screen may disappear or go ripples. Argonomics too smooth buttons is also not too convenient.

Bashes !!! Not quite a convenient menu and confused navigation (compared to 6233).

A bit hurts the body, in particular on the sides.
- micro USB cable Going in the kit is removed from the socket of the phone with the effort, almost hardly, sometimes even scary. Once after such removal, the definition of the card lost. Helped the reboot.
- Slightly infuriates that it is impossible to make different signals for Sigalov, and in the calendar it is impossible to make a repeated event on working days. The alarm clock is placed on working days.
- I call not often, but every day I use the Internet and GPS for driving with Yandex.Maps. Charging is enough for about 4 days. It does not quite correspond to TTX. I would like longer.
- Separately, I want to note the disadvantages of "Ovi Suite", which comes in the kit. All programs are terribly slow and loaded (at least under XP), the interface is beautiful, but not
One of the last models of the N-series released company Nokia.Is the Nokia N79 smartphone. The device is a smartphone, equipped with advanced functionality and attractive design. As far as the combination is successful, it is written in the review. It should be noted that the model is similar to two other devices from the same series - Nokia N82 and Nokia N79.
Contents of delivery

The body of the phone is fully accustomed for the latest models from Nokia in the N-series: rectangular monoblock with rounded corners. It is made of plastic - matte on the sides and glossy - on the back and front panels. "The nobility" of the model adds a metal edging that runs along the upper structure of the apparatus. Nevertheless, the general view of the device is pretty strict. "Revip" him are called by removable panels, which are included in the kit - except for dark gray, there are still red and white options. And in another color solution, white-turquoise, coffee and olive colors are available.
It's nice that the body is not fat: he lies comfortably in his hand, it does not slip, and in conversation is comfortable. Another thing is that the front panels will be guaranteed to get dirty from the ear and from touching the fingers. Yes, and the back too. Scratches The case is not particularly susceptible, but the prints are the main complaint of practicality. The quality of the assembly is at the height: not the slightest backlash, the crunch or the mode, we did not find it.
The rear panel is filmed in two receptions: you need to click on the clamp button, then pull the panel down and "on yourself". The socket for the SIM card is quite ordinary, the card is easily fixed in it, and it is not difficult to replace it. Video in WMV format (4 MB) \u003e\u003e\u003e
Keyboard
The keyboard of the phone to the pluses is difficult. Digital buttons are narrow and long - so when working, especially at the first time, you have to follow in order not to accidentally press the adjacent row button. Subjectively, it is inconvenient to use the "asterisk" and "lattice" - you have to be very flexing a thumb.
As for the designations, they are applied to the base of the buttons having a coating from transparent plastic. There are no complaints to the designation of the designations, although people with poor eyesight can do not like some of the crowded symbols on the keys; However, the size of the letters and numbers is quite common for Nokia devices.
The navigation button is also not the most convenient thing. It is necessary to get used to it - it is especially difficult to accept the fact that when the lower position is pressed, the finger strives to slip down the "2" key located under it. The inscribed "OK" button slightly performs over the overall surface of the "navigation", and this circumstance also does not add convenience in the work. From our point of view, she was either needed even higher than either, on the contrary, "drown". And so it is inconvenient.
Soft-keys, call / reset buttons and multimedia keys (located under the display on the left edge of the keyboard panel) in operation are convenient and no complaints are called. They are narrow and strongly protrude over the overall surface of the keyboard, so the finger "finds out" them literally. Between the soft buttons and the call / penny buttons are the main menu call buttons (left) and correction (right). They are also comfortable, although there are no relief.
The backlight of all buttons are neuropy, which, too, in general, is familiar to the phin manufacturer phones. Meanwhile, it allows you to safely work at any illumination. In standby mode, the backlight of the "OK" button periodically flickes poorly.
Locking is standard: by pressing the left soft key and the "asterisks". The device is unlocked. With locked buttons, the backlight does not work.
On the left side of the phone there are "swing" volume and camera activation button. "Swing" for nothing else is not responsible; Press both positions is comfortable as a thumb of the right hand, and the leftmost finger (in the event, for example, if you are left-hand, talk on the phone and want to increase or decrease the speaker volume). The camera key in the work is also convenient; In shooting mode, she (and only she!) is responsible for the shutter descend. We have not recorded random clicks. The power button is located on upper Neck apparatus.
Battery
Battery B. N79 Lithium-ion, BL-6F. It is removed easily, in one movement, but at the same time it sits in the battery compartment firmly, and does not fall out, even if we shake the device with a lid removed. In the conversation mode, it provides work up to 5.5 hours, in standby mode - up to 372 hours.
Display
The display is familiar good. Color reproduction on top, grain or try - you will not see. The only minus is a weak viewing angle. Already pretty with small displays of the display in any direction, the saturation of the picture is noticeably lost, although the colors continue to appear more or less correctly. Display size - 2.4 inches.
As in other multimedia computers from Nokia, the display of the display is implemented when it is moving into a horizontal plane and back. However, in practice, it sometimes works with the delay, which can deliver a serious inconvenience in work. So the orientation sensor does not always turn out to be "at the height", especially with sudden displays orientation shifts.
For interface design background pictures, screensavers, greeting, many topics - here everything is standard. True, affordable themes are only color background, and no more. No ornament to you, drawing and the like of the joys - only a flat background of one or another color, however, here you can always find you need
CameraThe camera has a resolution of 5 megapixel. It seems we are already starting to get used to it. But the status of the multimedia computer obliges to have a camera appropriate.
The module is similar to the chamber standing, say, in. Optics Carl Zeiss, TESSAR lenses - Here everything is as it should be.
It should be activated by opening a curtain located on the rear panel of the device. In all other cases, whether it is from the main menu or by pressing the shutter button - if the curtain is closed, the camera simply does not turn on.
The shooting interface is focused on horizontal position The device, as well as the location of the shutter button. In the shooting mode, the viewfinder frame is displayed on the screen, and on the right - the most frequently used settings icons. True, the panel will soon disappear, so you have to click any button to call the panel and so that you can work with it. Moving on it is carried out by horizontal arrows "Navigation". Here are consistently: go to video mode, shooting modes (automatically, manual setting, Close-up, Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night Portrait), Flash (Auto, for each frame, Effect of red-eye suppression, shutdown), timer (2, 10 or 20 seconds), transition to gallery, series mode (Single frame, a series of 6 in a row (you need to keep the shutter button down all the time), or the auto shootout every 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5, 10 or 30 minutes - until the free memory is over). This toolbar can be configured at your own desire. In the "Functions" menu (left soft button) can be activated additional camar and go back, set the size of the image (5 mp, 3 mp, 2 megapixel, 0.8 megapixel, 0.3 mp), select the storage device and any of the 4 shutter sounds. Useful option - "Restore Settings": With it, you can return the source options if unstended experiments with a function or another.
Examples of photos:As for the video, the settings for him are also enough. MODES Two: ordinary and night. It is possible to enable backlight video during recording. White balance is exhibited similarly to photoregam: automatically, sunny, cloudy, incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp. There are color effects (also everything, like when photography: ordinary, sepia, black and white image, bright, negative). The quality of the roller can be changed in 5 gradations: "High / normal quality TV", "High / Normal Quality email"," Quality for sending "" (for MMS). It is possible to fix the location, turn off the sound when recording and enable image stabilization. The maximum video recording time is 3.5 hours.
Additional camera is designed for video calls; It is right from the sound speaker. She has few settings: only renaming photos and selection of storage device.
Software Smartphone is running the latest version operating system Symbian OS - V9.3, the user interface is also updated to the S60 3RD Edition version, Feature Pack 2.
The novelty menu does not affect: these are 12 points that can be displayed either by a list or signs with signatures or undercover or V-shaped. Subclauses look only in the form of lists. In the individual menu items, photographs management ("Photos"), video ("Video Center"), music, games and orienteering ("Maps"; This application requires an Internet connection).
To move and select, it is quite enough "navigation", but if additional functions are needed - it is not necessary to do without soft keys. Left - functions, right - return to the point above. Return to standby is a reset button. To quickly access the applications use the so-called multimedia key (vertical button on the right below the display). With her clicking, the link panel is called, where it is easy to go to the desired application. Arrows "Navigation", like the soft keys, can also be programmed to "fast" functions; This is done in the "Tools" menu - "Parameters" - "General" - "My Style" - "Standby Mode" - "Links". In general, having such a complex from the functional point of view the device, you have to put up with the fact that before the settings it is necessary to get it. All of them are collected in "" means "-" Parameters ", but the path to them is not small - 4 clicks at least. In some cases (for example, in the Bluetooth menu or in "Parameters"), horizontal menu bookmarks that facilitate navigation are implemented. When working with the phone
Phone book
In size N79 Almost similar to N78, and the battery capacity in both models is similar - 1200 mAh (against 1050 mAh in N82, which is also somewhat massive). Built-in memory less but map microSD. Makes this distinction not particularly important. The camera is the same as N82, whereas the "seventy-eighth" models are only 3.2 megapixels. The rest of the software and hardware are almost identical. In other things, it is implemented in the N79 and the keyboard, and the multimedia key is not placed on the right, but on the left, and vertically (in both other models - right horizontally). True, the difference is, in our opinion, decorative, and the difference in the convenience of work is not observed.
Now let's turn to other manufacturers. As for Sony Ericsson, then the G900 model is a direct competitor, the G900 model appears. She also has 5 MP (the same as in Sony Ericsson K850i), and this is also a smartphone (it is an open Symbian OS). Of the advantages of "Sonaryka" - intuitive sensory control (both stylus and fingers), complementing recognition support handwriting input. And in the set to it there is a special software for managing music, image and video clips ("Media Manager"). In addition, he is a little more compact, and it also has Wi-Fi, support 3G and GPS (through Google Maps.). But the memory card slot in the G900 is under the lid - it is a tangible minus: it is not very convenient to replace the card. Yes, and the display is only 26,2144 colors, while N79 supports up to 16.7 million colors. Regarding the quality of the camera, we note that subjectively likes the Sony Ericsson G900 camera more, although the unequivocal advantages over 5 megapixels from Nokia will probably not.
In relation to Samsung, the SGH-I7110 smartphone (platform S60 3RD Edition Pack 2) comes to mind (S60 3RD Edition FEATURE PACK 2). The camera in it is also 5 megapixel, but frankly - she is not a competitor "Noko" and "Sonieckson". Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS - here everything is similar, even the battery capacity and the volume of the built-in memory are the same. The display according to the number of transmitted colors is also inferior to N79 (in "Samsung" them 262144), but the technology is not TFT here, but amoled; Point of view of color reproduction and angle view is a more successful option.
Advantages of Nokia N79:
- Pretty compact housing
- Full-featured camera 5 mp
- The presence of replaceable panels allowing you to revive the strict design of the device
- Convenience of navigation, easy and quick access to a variety of features
- Mark building
- Uncomfortable keyboard
- The display orientation sensor does not always work
Multimedia computer Nokia. - This is a kind of attempt to make dynamism in the High Tech-Class Device, make it outwardly more attractive due to the accompanying interchangeable color panels. That's just about the front panel designers forgot, and made it, just say, boring. The functional component in the model is implemented at the proper level, which we expect from advanced Finnish devices, but no more. It turned out an intermediate option between Nokia N78 and N82 - which, however, is quite understandable, taking into account the model number. All nodes, applications and principles are already well acquainted on previous N-series models. In general, the choice of "multimedia computer" from Nokia is now a matter of taste, and not a subject of discussion about the technical component

Prices for Nokia N79

how long have you had this phone?
Chose a smartphone in many criteria, chose carefully. Like many users of this device, I had thoughts about buying Nokia N82, because It is most closely approximate by the functions to N79. Also, these smartphones also compared with N78, but for some reason he did not like me immediately. Choosing the following criteria:
Everyone listed by the criteria is ideal for the N79 smartphone, which I acquired. And for clarity I will tell about him.
What do you like? Strengths Phone, dignity.
1. Equipment.
Nokia N79 smartphone package includes: Nokia N79 smartphone, 1200 mAh battery, three replaceable rear panels (including the one that originally on a smartphone), headphones, remote control, charger, Micro-USB, disc, instruction manual ... And the most interesting ... memory card for 4 GB !!!
2. AppearanceSizes.
Some users write that the Nokia N79 is white - female. I do not agree at all! I bought myself exactly white color due to the fact that the black color has long come. Prior to that, my last three phones were black (Samsung D500, Nokia 6233, Nokia 6120C). Gray panel - something average. It looks like something dirty. And here is white !!! Beautiful! It combines well with a shiny edging around the perimeter. To all my relatives and friends, the smartphone liked - and this is what it says!
An interesting solution was included in the package of three replaceable rear panels. If the front side is white, the rear panels of the following colors: blue (SEA Blue), green (Olive Green), brown (Espresso). If the front side is gray, then the rear panels of the following colors: red (coral red), white (White), brown (Espresso). If the phone is black, then the rear panels: black (Dark Gray), gray-bluish (Steel Gray), plum (Deep Plum).
The on / off key is located on top of the phone's end, accidentally press it will not work. There is also a 3.5 headphone jack there - this means that any standard headphones will be suitable for the smartphone. In the same place, near the connector, there is a special slider, with which you can now block the keyboard! This company is Nokia thank you very much. When I used 6120s, the blocking almost did not include (for it is necessary to press the left soft key + *), and now I use N79 and began to block the keyboard much more often, almost always, because the slider is much more convenient and one touch.
On the reverse side of the smartphone is the camera. The lens itself closes a curtain. On the side of the lens there is a LED flash. The second camera, for video calls, is located on the front side, above the display. With the right end side of the phone there is a +/- (zoom / decrease) key, the "Camera" key and two stereo speakers. From the end left side is the connector for charger, And under the cover there is a memory card and micro-usb connector.
3. Keyboard.
Here are some written that the keyboard is uncomfortable. In the first couple of days, the use of Smart also seemed to me. But then you get used to! And normally - quite comfortable. Error pressing does not occur, the buttons are comfortable. The numeric keys actually like others, soft when you click, no "click". The only key that "clicks" is a selection key ... A, and a multimedia key that is on the left side, next to the "Menu" key. When you press the multimedia keys, the so-called "tiles" appear. I will list: "Games", "Internet", "Maps", "Music", "Photos", "TV and Video", "Contacts". For example, on the tile "Photos" there is a "last snapshot" item, there are snapshots, "menu of pictures", "Exchange on the Internet". Well, in fact, the multimedia key for the so-called quick access.
N79 appeared interesting solutionAs the Navi touch wheel - it works fine, at first I wanted to turn off, but then I liked it used. Now I use constantly. It works like this: to highlight any item, drive your finger over the navigation key or clockwise or against. True, the Navi wheel is not working in all menu items, only in the main. IN installed programs The wheel does not work at all. Although, in principle, the wheel is convenient to scroll through song lists in the MP3 player. This touch wheel has such a "chip" - you can turn on the backlight in the form of a pulsation (about once every 5 seconds the central key is highlighted - funny).
The screen, of course, immediately struck me, after Nokia 6120C. The difference is noticeable! Nokia N79 has a large screen, a diagonal of 2.4 inches. High-level brightness. On the street, in sunny weather, the screen is read well, but still flashes. And if you compare with Nokia 6120C, then the N79 screen reads better.
N79 also has a light sensor (illumination). With good lighting, the keyboard backlight goes out. With insufficient lighting - the backlight turns on. And there is also such an interesting thing, which is called automatic screen rotation. The essence is as follows: when the phone is kept directly - the screen in the vertical position (like normal phone), And if the phone turn left to an angle of 45 degrees and more, the screen turns into a horizontal position. If you turn back - the screen is rotated in the opposite position. I will say right away - the right screen is not rotated. In the new firmware, such a chip was added: disconnecting the sound with an incoming call by turning the phone to the front panel to any subject, whether it is a table or hand, a foot - an interesting solution, never had ever met this.
Sound is excellent. Sound quality at height. Of course, on the volume N79 is inferior to such a phone as Nokia 6233 (I think all phones are inferior to him), but NO N79 louder than 6120C. In the smartphone, two dynamics, as I said, they are located on the right side. One speaker is at the top, the other below. In view of this, when using the phone, the lower speaker is closed with hand (if you keep the phone with right hand). Although I'm already used to keep the phone so that the speaker is slightly open. So all the rules!
In the music player there is an equalizer, which provides 5 frequency characteristics: "Strengthening bass", "Classic", "Jazz", "Pop", "Rock". Each characteristic can be changed manually. In addition, you can add your characteristic. In the player settings, you can configure the balance between the speakers, or to play one speaker or the other or each to a certain extent. There is a function of enhancing bass, when the sound is turned on, the sound becomes cleaner and more beautiful, in my opinion. There is also a function "Stereo Extension". This feature I turn on only when listening to music in headphones - the sound is just a fairy tale!
And there is a FM transmitter in the phone. You turn on the music in the MP3 player, select the "FM transmitter" function, set the desired frequency, for example 105,2fm. Then you turn on the radio, such as the radio in the car, set up on the same wave, and the "hurray", the music plays through the radio. You can not only turn on the music - in general, all the sounds from the phone will now sound through the radio. Funny.
As for sound through the headphones, I will say the following. Immediately after buying a smartphone, I bought a vacuum headphones, the same as on modern "Sony Ericsson" Ah. "In these headphones, the sound is much better and more clear, bassysters, rich and more beautiful than the native headphones that come in the kit. I advise.
6. GPS navigator.
In the smartphone, when you purchase a built-in program "Maps". When it turned on her first time, it was a little poured in it and decided for myself - it is necessary to download anything better for navigation, for the built-in cards are not entirely convenient to use. For example, when the card is approaching, cards are loaded from the Internet. And if I am somewhere in the field, where is the cellular communication inaccessible?
After reading the reviews of some users, I realized that you need to install the Garmin Mobile program. Uploaded the map of Russia for this program. It turned out that this program is much more convenient and functional than the built-in standard Map program. Well, I will not tell about the program itself, you can look about it on the Internet.
Next I will talk about the launch of GPS. Satellite search occurs quickly, approximately 20-30 seconds. A-GPS technology is also used in the phone, this means that the search for the current location is determined by the network operator network, i.e. Using GPRS-Internet. But for the GPS navigation, the availability of the operator network is not necessary, because Location is determined using satellites. Definition of coordinates absolutely free! The coordinates are defined quite accurately, up to meters. The current speed of movement is also defined. This summer, when drove by train, included GPS - the train speed was about 90 km / h. When drove by car, speed on the speedometer and the program was 5 km / h. Probably error.
With the GPS-navigation enabled, the battery is discharged much faster than when conversations. For half an hour of navigation from 7 "Charge sticks" disappeared 2 sticks.
7. Camera.
The camera in the smartphone is wonderful. Never seen such cameras in phones before. Let's start with the fact that the resolution of the camera is 5 megapixels. The quality of the pictures is excellent! I did not even wear a digital camera with him. A significant advantage is that there is a curtain at the camera (when the curtain is opened, the camera automatically turns on, when closing it off). Gorgeous bright flash. An interesting solution to photograph by analogy with digital cameras - when you press the camera slightly on the camera key, the focus occurs, press the key slightly more - you take pictures.
Different shooting modes are provided:
You can turn on the timer: 2, 10, 20 seconds.
There is also a series mode. It can be enabled so that the smartphone takes pictures after a certain period of time - from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
But in video mode, you can turn on the flash, i.e. All the time when you take off, the flash will be turned on. I use this option as a flashlight - very convenient.
8. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
Bluetooth, in fact, works without any complaints, version 2.0, transfer rate up to 2.1 Mbit / s.
I can only say about Wi-Fi: there is a WLAN setup wizard. WPA / WPA2 protection is supported. There is nothing more about Wi-Fi, as it has not yet been necessary to use. In general, you can enter the Internet using the Wi-Fi connection.
9. Battery.
I consider the battery with the strength of the smartphone. Capacity is 1200 mAh. On average, I charge the smartphone once every 3-4 days. At the same time I speak the day of 20 minutes, a pair of SMS, listening to music, I sit in "ICQ" for 5-6 hours a day. With the GPS-navigator enabled, the battery is enabled for 1 hour and 38 minutes - specifically kept. The manufacturer stated that in listening to music, there are enough battery for 30 hours.
By the way, the smartphone is charged for about 2 hours (6120s charged for 1 hour 20 minutes).
I also like the effects of those, and especially in the standard Haze theme. This is my first phone in which I like the standard (!) Theme. I use it only. When I used 6120C, I downloaded periodically different topics, changed them. Now this necessity disappeared.
What do not like? Weaknesses, disadvantages.
In general, I did not notice the shortcomings in the phone - I like everything in it. The assembly is excellent. Some write that a little creaks - my smartphone does not creak anything, everything is wonderful.
What do you miss in it?
That's just the same in this smartphone just enough for me, I actually bought it because of this. You can install any programs if you need.
What are the functions of the phone you use often?
I often use the main functions of the smartphone - call, SMS "Yu. Volume conversational speaker Excellent, you can add / subscribe. The interlocutor is heard clearly and distinctly. For each subscriber you can put a melody, a photo. At the same time, when calling a photo will be almost full screen, which was not on Symbian previous versions.
Also actively use the Internet. Installed the ICQ program, Opera. Communication holds well. Applications arbitrarily do not fly out.
I often use the camera - I take pictures, take a video. When Nokia 6120C used, so often did not shoot, because he did not experience much joy. And now with N79 one pleasure!
I use MP3 player every day. Now we do not use the usual mp3, because the smartphone completely replaced it.
I often use the sensory navigation wheel. Basically I use the menu and in the music player to search for the right track.
Also, I also use the calendar, I take notes, reminders.
In addition, I regularly use the lock on / off key.
What functions do you use occasionally?
Rarely I use GPS navigation, so, sometimes play. But I think, for moving around the city, the navigator will be an indispensable thing.
Also rarely use the FM transmitter. By the way, the normal sound transmission occurs only if the smartphone is not further 1-2 meters from the receiver. Otherwise, the signal is already weaker and receiving is carried out with great interference.
Occasionally I use Bluetooth. Sometimes I do not want to pull out the memory card from the smartphone, so just throwing / downloading files via Bluetooth.
Very rarely I use MMS, mostly only for receiving.
I do not often use the "Radio" function. Still, I prefer to listen more to listening to music that I myself personally downloaded to the memory card.
I also use the multimedia key too often, although it is convenient, it is possible, just not used to it.
What functions do not use at all?
At the moment I do not use Wi-Fi at all. And also I do not use the N-Gage application, I do not play games. Somehow I tried a couple of times at first, but I don't really want to play something on the phone.
I do not use the function of the backlight of the navigation wheel, because This is an excessive waste of energy - the battery is cleaned faster.
Most modern smartphones are weakly different from each other by functionality - 3G module, radio, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc. The user interface is also very similar, so when choosing a decisive factor, the design of the case, materials and quality of assembly becomes often becoming, and, of course, the cost. In trying to highlight your device among many similar, some manufacturers resort to tuning of the body - rhinestones, aerial photos and so on. However, there is a simpler, but not less an effective way - Changing cabinet panels. Smartphone Nokia. N79, who came to us for testing, already in the delivery kit contains body panels of three colors. Moreover, this model It can boast an impressive functionality that includes GPS navigation and a complete set of modern wireless interfaces.

Appearance and ease of use
Even if you close the label, Nokia is unmistakably recognized in the smartphone, because differences with predecessors are only in small details. The front panel and sides of the device are made of gray plastic, which is refreshing with a silver insert around the perimeter of the front panel. Replaceable replaceable panel and, as already mentioned, two additional supplies are available. In our case, the panels of chocolate, red and white colors. At all replaceable panels, a barely noticeable pattern is applied. The panel change is accompanied by changing the topic on the screen - the default color of the panel corresponds to the dominant color of the theme. Changing the topic occurs automatically, due to the presence of additional contacts on the phone and the corresponding contact sites on the interchangeable panels. There are no chips in the lid of the battery compartment, and the topic shift depends only on which contacts are closed. But here there is a little disadvantage - the contacts are pressed slightly and when shaking the phone makes sounds, similar to the sound of the broken small keys. The surface of the replaceable panels is glossy, but, oddly enough, it scratches it quite reluctant. Fingerprints "collects" chocolate panel, but red and white - "clean". It gets more to the display, its smooth surface is not only quickly covered with prints, but it is quite easily scratched, so even with careless use without a cover, a lot of small scratches and scratches appear on the surface. The N79 cabinet parts are a bit, so the build quality even theoretically cannot supply the gaps between the panels are minimal and uniform, but still, when trying to twist and squeezing, the case creates a little, which is to blame the hooks that lock the replaceable panel are to blame.
Front Most of the surface occupies a 2.4-inch display, slightly higher than the telephone speaker traditionally located, window frontal chamber and built-in light sensor. Under the screen, the navigation block of keys with a joystick with a touch surface of Navyweel was fitted under the screen, which allows you to quickly and conveniently scroll through the menu and move on the menu. A standard digital block is located just below, in which there is no vertical keys. Illumination of characters on a digital block is uneven and dim, due to which the extreme characters on the keys are poorly visible at dusk, although with sufficient lighting or in the dark symbols are well distinguishable. All the front panel keys are quite rigid, but still much more convenient than thin strips from Nokia N78.
On the back of the back only the photoblock is available - the photo list of dual LEDs and lens with a sliding protective metal curtain.
On the left side there is a charging device connections, and a micro-usb connector and a microSD memory card slot is hidden under a single rubber plug. Placing the memory card slot on the side surface, and not under the back cover, allows you to quickly replace the cards, well, alone with a USB connector made it possible to reduce the number of plugs, spoil the appearance of any device.
On the right side, a pair of speakers is installed, a two-level photo color and not too comfortable key-swing adjustment of the volume level.
The input lock slider is installed on top, 4-pin 3.5 mm connector for connecting the video output cable and headphones headsets.
Only two holes - the built-in microphone and the installation of the fastening lace.
Telephone card with slit boot and devoid of any locks, and the card lock is performed by the battery case. For removal of the card, a special bright yellow lever is provided.
Nokia continues to replenish the NSERIES smartphones line with new multifunctional devices. Another such phone was the Nokia N79 model, which claims to be a worthy replacement large number "Veterans" of the model range of NSERIES. Despite the fact that the device has a lot of competitors, it stands out among them by a balanced functionality.

The main disadvantages of Nokia N79:

- Extremely long image approximation process
- Lack of graphic accelerator
- Inability to charge USB
- GLAL GPS performance in comparison with other NSERIES devices
Nokia N79 will definitely claim to be one of the most multifunctional monoblocks presented in the mobile market. In fact, only a small part of the functions of modern mobile phones is not represented in Nokia N79.
The Nokia N79 model is able to replace several other NSERIES models at once - and first of all N78, whose direct follower is. In addition, the worthy update of Nokia N79 will also be for the owners of Nokia N82: despite the fact that the latter has a few better camera performance with xenon flash, more stylish design, smaller weight and updated Nokia N79 platform are very strong arguments when choosing a phone.
Another competitor - Nokia N95 and Nokia N95 8GB, once also occupied the position of one of the leaders in the smartphone segment, and now firmly holding a place in the middle segment. The phone still attracts buyers favorable price and high-quality display with the camera.
Finally, the most powerful competitor to Nokia N79 should be considered SAMSUNG i7110, which has a similar form factor and an almost similar set of technical characteristics. The phone from Samsung differs only with a slightly large OLED display.
Contents of delivery
Included with the N79 smartphone, you can detect a microSD memory card for 4 GB, a white handsfree set with large and convenient to control the headup buttons, the MicroUSB cable, charger and two replaceable panels of different colors.
In addition, the N79 buyer will find a regular set of booklets and instructions, as well as a DVD with a traditional set of software to synchronize a mobile phone with a PC.
Design and device
The Nokia N79 housing parameters are 110 x 49 x 15 mm - the mobile device is slightly more compact than the Nokia N78, but in everyday use the difference is practically not felt. Weight - 97 grams - in fact, can really be considered an achievement: provided Identical technical characteristics on the mobile market there are practically no mobile phones, lighter than Nokia N79.
The appearance of the Nokia N79 fully complies with the traditions of NSERIES - this is a high-quality, simple phone without any innovative design solutions. Of course, the phone lacks the elegance of ESERIES, but NSERIES should not expect something more. The entire front panel of the Nokia N79 case is created from plastic resistant to the appearance of fingerprints, which is undoubted advantage. The only vulnerable site remains a mobile phone display.
On the left side of the Nokia N79 housing is a microUSB port, a microSD memory slot and a port for a charger. As a result of a rather unusual design, the slots for USB and the memory cards closes the same plastic panel, which is definitely only to benefit the appearance of the phone - one hole on the surface of the case less.
On the right edge of the Nokia N79 case, there are stereo speakers, a sound control key and a camera control button. Both keys are large enough and convenient to use.
The quality of the Nokia N79 assembly, as in most Mobile devices of Finnish vendor, is worthy of the highest rating: high-quality materials were used in the production of the phone, thanks to which Nokia N79 in everyday use is very resistant to the appearance of scratches and the effects of dirt and dust.
The Nokia N79 QVGA display displays 16 million colors and has a diagonal of 2.4 inches. The levels of brightness and contrast of the display are quite normal, as well as the image quality under directional sunlight.
The Nokia N79 keypad and control keys differ significantly from N78 and most of the other latest NSERIES models are both reasonable sizes and the actual ease of use.
User interface
Nokia N79 runs running Symbian 9.3 OS with the S60 3RD Edition user interface, Feature Pack 2. In fact, the interface is no different from Nokia N85 - except with several additional visual components.
In the active mode, there are quick access icons to the most frequently used applications. The owner of Nokia N85 may, if desired, place among them and access icons to websites.
Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, the Nokia N79 automatically turns the interface, switching the viewing modes from one to another is accompanied by interesting visual effects.
Multimedia Menu - familiar with most NSERIES phone owners option - you can activate a separate key. The menu shows the quick access icons to the Nokia N79 multimedia functions in the form of a drop-down list, to reorganize which, however, is also possible at its discretion.
N79 runs on the basis aRM processor 11 369 MHz without an additional graphic accelerator, which is why the phone naturally differs not the highest performance in model row Nokia. However, from the point of view of the speed with the user interface, the absence of an accelerator does not have almost no value - the mobile device responds to most of the standard commands.
It is very different about working with the gallery. As in the case of N85, it takes hardly a minute to enlarge the image made by the Nokia N79 camera, up to 100%. In a video file situation, the phone performance also does not differ in high levels in comparison with other Nokia models based on a similar processor.
Customization opportunities
The Nokia N79 owner can choose any of the four menu viewing modes. Two of them are standard and well known: table icons 4 x 3 or regular list. Two others involve the location of the icons either in the form of a horseshoe, or in a three-dimensional V-shaped form. Looks like these menu display modes much more original, but require some time to get used to.
Another possibility of customization user interface - The choice of the theme of eight pre-installed. Naturally, Nokia N79 provides for the installation of third-party topics. When changing the XPRESS-ON panels, the active theme is automatically changing in accordance with the color solving of the installed panel.
Media Player and FM Radio
The Nokia N79 music player is characterized by high performance and more supported audio formats - which, however, is not surprising for the device positioned including both the multimedia phone.
The library of music files provides automatic sorting according to the artist, album, genre, composer. The Nokia N79 owner can create its own playlists, and the process of adding new tracks to the library is limited to activation of the update function.
The player has five pre-installed equalizers and the ability to create its own, and, moreover, it can work as a background application.
The Nokia N79 video player operates in several roller display modes, and also supports the full screen mode. FM radio Nokia N79 has a simple and user-friendly interface and supports automatic search and maintaining radio stations in the area of \u200b\u200bthe location of the phone owner. Important dignity - support for RDS technology.
Gallery of images
The Nokia N79 image gallery has an interface and a set of functions, standard for all NSERIES mobile devices. Images can be brought 8 times and viewed in several modes. The process of extinguishing graphic files You can speed up by pressing and holding the D-PAD.
As noted, the approach of images, however, has become a very long process - in fact, no other mobile phone It does not bring the image for so long, so it is likely that the zoom function in most Nokia N79 owners will quickly turn into one of the most unclaimed.
The image gallery offers the ability to create a slideshow with original visual effects and music and the ability to add tags to photographs, which can then be used as filters when searching for images.
Camera: Not the highest level of performance
Nokia N79 is equipped with 5 MP camera capable of removing images in a resolution up to 2592 x 1944 points. Among the advantages of the camera is autofocus and a double LED flash, as well as a single-handed-based camera control key, very convenient in operation, and support for geoteaging, which works with video files. The speed of operation of the GPS module is very high, so the process of adding geotes does not take away a lot of time.
The user interface of the Nokia N79 camera is easy to use and a very impressive set of functions - from the manually adjustable balance of white and sensitivity ISO before the contrast settings, sharpness, and so on. Various visual effects can be applied to removed images.
The quality of the pictures of Nokia N79 is quite good, but loses in comparison with some other 5 MP models. The image processing mechanism obviously has some flaws that affect the quality of photos. However, most of the obtained images are only below the average.
In comparison of the image quality of Nokia N79, Nokia N85, Nokia N95 8GB wins, however, the last model is both from the point of view of color reproduction and in terms of contrast and transmission of parts. Nokia N79 This comparison takes second place.
As for the video, the camera N79 involves recording video files in VGA-resolution at speeds of up to 30 frames per second. Video is written in MPEG-4 format, owner mobile device Can configure white balance manually or automatically. Among additional options – night mode Video filming, multiple color effects, using flash.
Communication and Internet
A decent communication quality is definitely one of the main advantages of Nokia N79. The phone supports all modern data transfer standards - both wired and wireless. In particular, Nokia N79 supports data transmission via USB 2.0 interfaces, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi with UPNP, GSM, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA technology with HSDPA. Thanks to the WLAN scanner, you can easily detect all mobile networks available in a specific area.
Nokia N79 has a very convenient browser for Internet surfing, which can operate in two different modes of displaying web pages. The contents of the web pages are conveniently scaling using the approximation option, in addition, the browser supports the change in font size.
Another advantage of the browser is a virtual mouse pointer, which is very easy to control, and the ability to activate a mini-card that will make more comfortable work with large sites.
Nokia N79 has a built-in GPS module, the accuracy of which, however, is not at the highest level in comparison with other Nokia NSERIES models. Performance GPS in N78 or even N96 from this point of view is much better.
The phone requires about two and a half minutes to catch and process satellite signal At the very beginning of working with GPS options, which is actually one of the best results. Moreover, A-GPS can reduce this time to an even more acceptable level.
Built-in GPS module works with Nokia Maps. - navigation application providing almost most detailed cards. Moreover, the application is absolutely free and convenient enough to use. After the expiration of the three-month period of free test use of the voice navigation service, the Nokia N79 owner will have to purchase a paid package of services - to do it quite easily through the phone itself.
Nokia Maps has four different mode viewing modes, including 2D and 3D - for some, however, a connection to the Internet is required. The route planning algorithm is easily changed at its discretion, setting some extra options. Nokia application Maps can take advantage of not only car owners, but also pedestrians.
RESULTS
Nokia N79 is a sufficiently successful phone from the point of view of both the design (one of the best examples of NSERIES) and multifunctionality. In fact, this model has very little worthy competitors. The main drawback is not too impressive performance of 5 MP cameras.
Mobile device really deserves the title of smartphone "All in One", offering users of satellite navigation, support for OVI services and all common data transfer protocols.
