Should I contact the phone dealer and ask them for a repair? FW is the latest - 20.175 I had the problems even before updating it.

      Anyone having problems with N79 constantly restarting and hanging?

      I have the phone for about 2 weeks and it restarts or hangs almost every day, even several times a day...Sometimes I need to remove the battery to get it working again - none of the keys works, not even the power on/off. It doesn't happen only on specific applications - sometimes just by browsing the menus.

      I had two problems today:

      1. I opened the contact list for a moment, then closed it and locked the phone. The next moment when I tried to use the phone I saw a black screen with the backlight on the the keyboard light on. No reaction, even after pressing or holding the on/off key. I had to remove the battery.

      2. I was using the Garmin XT navigation and the phone suddenly turned off by itself. I had to power it on by the power on/off button

                  I have been experiencing problems with my N79. The phone hangs and although you press any key on the keypad, it won't work. The only button that will work is the on/off button. So I have to restart the phone by either turning it off then on again or removing the battery. What a hastle. The naviwheel doesn't work, too. Is anyone experiencing the same problems?

                  I'm getting my phone fixed soon.

                                        I was thinking of getting the white one, I personally owned a white phone from Nokia a while back, the Nokia 6288, and still looked perfectly white! It never changed color other then the cracks and dents that I created from dropping it on the floor too much.
