                I bought N79 more than a year ago.
                i faced only two problems.

                1. Sometimes it hangs and menu doesn't work.
                2. Recorded video hangs continuously.

                    Hi., I'm using Nokia N79 I find lot of problem
                    1. If i capture any video mean while that time handset hanging and restarting.
                    I contacted to Nokia Care Center 10 times. 2 times went Head office but no proper result.
                    2. If i install any application means it was affected OS.
                    3. Some times profile not creating....

                              I have a e51 for last 2yrs. Now i want to upgrade to a fast processor symbian nokia with a good camera but should be of bar form factor and without querty keyboard. Is n79 worth of upgrading for me?

                                Have been using N79 since past 18months... excellent phone... great features...
                                the only problem which i faced of late was that the screen color kept changing again n again within 2-3 seconds.
                                Finally that also was sorted out by cleaning the sensor on the express on back cover with a soft cloth.
