Nokia N79

Nokia has unveiled the Nokia N79 phone, the latest addition to the Nokia N-series range that combines intelligent and customisable design with a fully-loaded multimedia computer. Behind its sleek exterior, the Nokia N79 is a technology powerhouse. It offers a full range of multimedia experiences including integrated navigation, music with FM transmitter, high-speed connectivity, superior web browsing, 10 pre-loaded N-Gage games and an advanced 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics.

"The Nokia N79 packs cutting-edge technology into a compact device – a characteristic of the iconic Nseries – which allows people to discover, create and share their passions with others," said Grant McBeath, General Manager, Nokia Singapore. "It has been designed for those who want a device that is as appealing as it is powerful and comes with interchangeable covers that have automatically matching screen themes. This balance of performance and style means that it is a powerful and defining step forward from the popular and very successful Nokia N72 and Nokia N73."

Perfect for the style conscious, the Nokia N79 comes with Xpress-OnTM smart covers that are available in five cool colors: light sea blue, espresso brown, olive green, white and coral red. Each Nokia N79 will come with a combination of three color covers.

The convergence of photos, music, games and navigation in the Nokia N79 combines hi-speed 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi to make it quick and easy to share experiences on websites, blogs or online communities.

The 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED Flash and video light captures sharp, clear images and video that can be edited immediately, without the need for a PC. Images can also be geotagged to specific locations. What's more, the Nokia N79 comes packaged with a 4GB microSD memory card that makes it possible to store around 3000 song files, approximately 2500 pictures and up to four hours of DVD-quality video clips that can be organized by albums or tags and uploaded directly to Share on Ovi or other third party services. The addition of a sliding lens cover helps protect the top-quality lens when not in use.

Nokia Maps makes it easy to explore and navigate new surroundings. There's also in-built A-GPS providing turn-by-turn navigation – for walking or driving.

"The Nokia N79 packs cutting-edge technology into a super-sleek, compact design -- a characteristic typical of the iconic Nseries," said Devinder Kishore, Director Marketing, Nokia India.

The N79 comes with a special offer containing preloaded 'Anthems 1998-2008', a compilation of 19 all-time favorite classic club songs and 17 new age music videos, presented by the Ministry of Sound.

The N79 is priced at Rs 22,939.
