Nokia N79 Candybar Mobile Phone - High End Multimedia Device

It is the official day for the launch of Nokia N79 and N85 and all the details about the new handsets are finally out there in the open. Let’s start with Nokia N79: Candybar Nokia N79 looks like a logical progression from Nokia N73, packs all the features of high end multimedia device and ads some style with colored replaceable covers with matching themes.
Nokia N79 specs include:

    * WCDMA 900/2100 (HSDPA), EGSM 900, GSM 850/1800/1900 (EGPRS) connectivity

    * S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 OS

    * 2.4 inch QVGA (240 x 320 px) 16M color display

    * 5 mpx (2584 x 1938) camera with CArl Zeiss lens, dual LED flash and 30 fps video recording

    * WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g with UPnP support

    * Built-in A-GPS

    * FM Transmitter

    * Built-in accelerometer (orientation sensor)

    * MicroUSB connector, Hi-Speed USB 2.0

    * 3.5 mm stereo headphone plug

    * TV-out support (PAL/NTSC)

    * Up to 50 MB internal user memory

    * 4 GB inbox microSD memory card

    * Nokia battery BL-6F, 1200 mAh with:
    o Up to 210 min (3G), 330 min (GSM) talk time
    o Up to 400 hrs (3G), 370 hrs (GSM) stanby

I’d expect it to do as well as it’s predecessor did in the market. Although, if the price is comparable, I’m not sure where this device leaves Nokia N78.
