Reviews of the Nokia N79 (unlocked)

CNET Review
The Good: The Nokia N79 offers a slim and attractive design and packs in a load of multimedia features, including a 5-megapixel camera that takes excellent photos. The Symbian smartphone also features integrated Wi-Fi, U.S. 3G support, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The Bad: The N79's navigation controls and dialpad are a little cramped, and call quality was a bit mixed.
The Bottom Line: The Nokia N79 might not be the star of the N series devices, but it still shines as a great multimedia smartphone with plenty of features and fast performance.
