Nokia N79 review

Nokia impresses with a slick and stylish mobile phone

Our Score 4.5

Last reviewed: 2008-12-12December 12th 2008

The Nokia N79 is a worthy update to the N78 with improvements in almost every sector at pretty much the same price

The camera on the Nokia N79 is up and running two seconds after sliding the cover, which makes it perfect for quick snaps
