                nokia fans were complaining bout the design of sony ericsson handsets when T700 & W902 were officially announced. Nokia i think are the worst copiers of there own mobile handsets. There seem to be no end to these 5mpx, symbian OS suckin handsets. T700 n w902 r best slim & sleek designs comparitive to these n85 or n79. n85 is a ditto n96 with same features. n79 is also a ditto of n73 or n78. so all u nokia fans there nokia makes de worst designs.

                              nokia n85 is what nokia n81 has evolved into. i love it. i've always been a fan of nokia n81's design since then. and now, nokia n85 i think is the best phone for me. i hope it's got the sound chip of the n81. i'm thinking of selling my n82 for nokia n85..

                                  Looks - booring. Tipical nokia. Price.. eh.. Nokia N79 should be ~300, not ~350 euros.

                                    is nokia doing any justice to its customers by marketing the same phones with different shells????
                                    we want something new and cool, itz just getting too boring to see the phones comin out wth the same look and software and specification, but a different cover.....

                                    just look at sony erricsson, it has k850i, k810i, k800i, w960i, w980i, w880i.....eac of them totally different from each other....

                                    and look at the n-series......It will be rather a stupidity to oppose the brilliance of n-series....
                                    but..why soo many of them who have similar work??......
                                    when i go to the market to buy a nokia, i get rather confused...
                                    wat do i buy??? All of them have more or less the same features...they just look different...

                                    we want something new, something innovative, something cool and funky, something out of the book....

                                    i wish i could say these to the engineers of nokia......

                                      I think the N79 will destroy the N82 although it has a stupid look
                                      but it has the good features of both the N82 and the N78

                                      It has a good price,but till now we don't know about the battery

                                      but the feature pack 2 has a great looking UI

                                      don't know why Nokia insist to use the led flash

                                      the 5Mb camera is very good

                                      the FM transmitter is really a good option
                                      the key pad seems to be good

                                      [remember i'm talking about the N79 only ]
