After selling over a million units around the world, Nokia has finally decided to tap the States market after all and if the rumors are to be believed, the release date is right around the corner and Nokia's first ever touchscreen cell phone could hit the shelves by February 26, 2009.

According to The Nokia Blog, the NAM-flavored, 3G-toting Nokia XpressMusic 5800 has already started appearing on some of the major distributors' systems with a suggested price tag of $399, subject to change by the retailer or the carrier that will pick it up. While we all know that Nokia clearly has a winner with more than a million units sold, it remains to be seen if the North American version will do as well as its best-selling counterparts in Europe or be obscured by the upcoming N97.

Review: Nokia N79 Mobile Phone
By
Mobilewhack.com
on February 10, 2009 12:21 AM | Permalink

We saw the Nokia N79 Mobile Phone way back in August 2008, when it was announced by Nokia. The phone got the FCC approval in October and was finally launched into the world markets.

Exterior

The Nokia N79 comes in a candybar form factor - which Nokia calls as Classic - weighing in at a mere 97 grams. The phone measures 110 x 49 x 15 mm, and I rarely notice it when it's in my pocket - trust me, that's lightweight! The phone features a standard 2.4", QVGA display. There are dedicated camera buttons on the right side - for taking snapshots and zooming. The zoom button doubles up as volume control.

Package

One of the cool things about the N79's package is that it comes with three different Xpress-on covers. The review unit was a canvas white N79 and that came with light sea blue, espresso brown and olive green covers. If you happen to purchase the seal gray one, you will get covers in espresso brown, coral red and white. The phone came with a 4GB memory card, which was quite sufficient to try out my collection of music and podcasts.

Battery

The phone's battery lasts for for an impressive amount of time, given that I did quite a bit of browsing (on T-Mobile's EDGE network, so I can't vouch for 3G) along with a fair amount of talking. It lasted for about 3.5 days before giving up. However, when I connected the phone as a Bluetooth modem to my laptop to access the internet, the battery would, as expected, run out pretty quickly, lasting no more than a day. Charging the battery is also pretty fast - it takes about 1.5 hours for a full charge.

Browsing

After having used Opera for mobile phones, I can't say that I am very impressed with the current state of the default web browser on the Nokia phones - and the N79 doesn't fare any better. I used to be a fan earlier, but no more. Still, it's handy to use and usable at most times (except when it crashes). If you have big fingers like me, the N79 will annoy the heck out of you - its buttons are that small. Add to it the fact that the important Menu button is placed between the left softkey and the call answer (green) buttons, right next to the Internet shortcut button and it only adds to the confusion: which button do I press to access the menu now? However, after a while you get used to it.

Camera

The camera on the Nokia N79, while a 5 megapixel one, isn't the best out there; in fact, photos from this cameraphone are just about average. If you include low-light photos (with flash), the quality is dismal. The phone appears to have been made to make it more of a music/sports phone, judging by the recent announcement of the N79 Active edition, and this explains the compactness as well to some extent, I guess.

I've added a few sample photos from the N79 here.

Availability

Although not yet available through US carriers, you can still purchase it unlocked from PureMobile, the folks who sent over a white N79 for this review.

Nokia N79 Unlocked GSM Cellular Phone - available for US $427, excluding taxes and shipping.

Nokia E75 to be Announced at MWC?

The handset in the picture here is Nokia's E75. You might think it's the 5730 XpressMusic that Nokia announced a while ago but it isn't. It's a brand new phone which might be announced at the upcoming MWC.

The E75 will feature a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a keypad, a 2.4 inch screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and WiFi connectivity. I'd drop the keypad in favor of a larger screen but you can always get the N-97 if you want more screen space. No idea on the pricing and actual arrival date but MWC might bringon all these details.

Nokia N79 Eco Comes Without a Charger for a Good Cause

The Nokia N79 comes now in an eco-friendly form. This is another green initiative coming from the Finnish company. The Nokia N79 Eco will ship to you without a charger. You will still pay the same price but £4 will go to WWF since there's no charger in the box. The box of the N79 Eco is smaller which means you'll also save on energy and waste.

Where will you get a charger from? Well you do have an old Nokia phone right? Or you can always buy an extra one from any shop. The N79 Eco is currently available in the UK but be sure to check with your local Nokia representative to see if it's available in your country too.

Let's forget the Pre for a second there! We have one more hotter than hot phone due to come out this year. It's the Nokia N97 from our favorite Finnish phone manufacturers. The phone didn't get all the attention it should have and with all the buzz surrounding the Pre, the N97 could be neglected even more by the average consumer.

Is this why the phone seems to be arriving on March 31st? That's what Play.com is saying right now. The unlocked and SIM free N97 will cost around $707. Not to bad for probably the best phone Nokia has created so far. Rumors say that the U.S. version is set to arrive just after the European version so April might be definitely a good month for Nokia.

It feels like only yesterday I was telling you about the last Nokia 8800. Oh, wait a minute, I did do that! Nokia 8800 Gold Arte was the last 8800 we knew about at the time. Today however we found out there's a Goldstriker 8800 from Nokia. The Princess Edition will be released in January and it will cost £12,000. I guess those 8.2 carat diamonds, the platinum and the leather finish are pretty expensive. Make sure you head to Paris at the Colette store to get a Princess Edition when it will be available next year.

The Nokia E63 has just been announced by Nokia. Deja-vu feeling coming yet? Yes sure it's similar in design to the E71 but it's something totally new.

If you don't want a BlackBerry to play with but you'd like that BlackBerry feeling, then you absolutely need an E series smartphone. The E63 sports the same full QWERTY keyboard which provides that full support for your SMS and email needs. The E63 will be available soon and it will cost just 199 Euro before future subsidies and of course, taxes.

Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President of Nokia says:

Our research shows that people want a device that deals with both their personal and professional lives, but helps them to separate the two. When someone sits down at lunch, they want to update their social network or browse their personal email account and they don't want work getting in the way of that. It's another great case of technology adapting to the people that use it. The Nokia E63 is a new proposition for Eseries - a messaging device where people will be just as involved in their social network as they are in their business network.


Let's look at the specs now. There's WiFi support, fast access to Mail for Exchange, support for Files on Ovi and access to 1GB of online file storage for free. Nokia Music Store comes also with the E63 and there's a 3.5 mm audio jack for your musical pleasure. The built-in camera will get you lots of photos and videos to share with your friends.

Want more? More specs and a release date? Well stick with us 'cause we do to, and we will surely find out more!
