Nokia N79 Comes to India

As promised, Nokia has started shipping its N79 for the Indian market. The phone was unveiled in August this year.

The N79 is aimed at the style-conscious multimedia phone users. For the same, the phone comes with a range of features that include integrated navigation, music with FM transmitter, high-speed connectivity capability, Web browsing, 10 pre-loaded N-Gage games.

For the style-factor, the phone will be bundled with three 'Xpress-On' swappable smart covers -- available in 5 colors: Light Sea Blue, Espresso Brown, Olive Green, White, and Coral Red.

The N79 is a candybar phone sporting a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA). It measures 110 x 49 x 15 mm and weighs 95g. Like the others in the Nseries, this phone too is powered by the Symbian operating system (OS 9.3, Series 60 v3.2) and also features a 5-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss autofocus lens.

The phone is 3.5G (GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, WCDMA) ready and can also keep you connected through Wi-fi. It also bundles a Micro-USB connector (USB 2.0) for data transfer and a 3.5 mm AV connector.

Nokia N79 comes preloaded with 'Anthems 1998-2008', a compilation of 19 all-time favorite classic club songs, and 17 new age music videos (by the Ministry of Sound).

The phone also bundles along a 4GB microSD memory card to fill the void of the paltry 50 MB internal memory.

The company claims that the N79 offers up to 372 hours of battery time in standby, and 5 and a half hours while talking.
