Nokia N79 gets unboxed on video

by Donald Melanson, posted Oct 17th 2008 at 2:41PM

We've already seen Nokia's N79 up close and personal, but if you're just not ready to commit until you see exactly what your potential purchase will entail, you may want to hit up the Nseries Workshop blog, which has the requisite unboxing video of the device, on video and outdoors, no less. In case you missed it when it got official, the phone is a tri-band GSM number, and packs a generous 5-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash, built-in WiFi, 4GB of microSD storage, swappable back covers (as seen above), and an unfortunately lackluster screen -- at least in our experience. Head on past the break for the complete unboxing.

Everything I've read indicates that this phone is quadband GSM with two variants for dual band UMTS. Who said triband?

This has to be one of the ugliest n series phone. Both the white color and the return of the horrible faceplate ampilfy that.

In fact its so much uglier than the n78 it looks like a low end Samsung phone. I have to get it off my chest.
