CONFUSED , 19 Aug 2009hi guys I want to clear up some things about n79, Ive read ... moreI own a N79 for 4 months now and the navi wheel is not very sensitive - it just requires getting used to thats all. However the Accelerometer is very very sensitive - just tilt the phone a little bit and it changes the display to horizontal.
All in all, it is a good phone with lots of features, will definitely make a good buy.

    What about the camera portion? Is it made of solid steel or plastic with steel plating? Please reply me, please.

                          this is what you call a phone! the design, specs & features are amazing... and take note: stereo speakers, display size-2.4 inches & tv-out functionality are among its best assets.......

                                  and i bought the n79 yesterday, since then only one thing's been troubling me- in X-plore wen u check for the device info it reads the processor speed as 192Mhz instead of the reqd 369Mhz. i tried the same funda in my n73 in which it read 206Mhz. is it a problem with the software or my phone???
                                  it hasn't given me any prob yet, except the theme reset thing and the fact that it restarts if i recieve a file larger than 50MB while doin other things.
                                  Thanx
