So the graphics chip makes no difference to me. And even for those who care about gaming, since the N79 supports N-gage gaming, it must be good enough to support N-gage games.

Mobile gaming industry is an booming industry. Whether u game or not is totally irrelevant , as the majority of users do. Its all about a quick gaming session when ur bored.If the graphics look better than all the more better.
The upcoming N-gage will use 3d chip so not much future as a gaming phone for N79.
Its just like how after using Win Vista if u switch back to Win 98 , u will have symptoms

LED (or even dual Led) is still much behind Xenon flash & here's why
Quote:
Xenon flash provides 1000 time's greater brightness than typical LED's in consumer photography applications and enables greater than 100 times faster shutter speed and shorter exposure time than with LED's.
Xenon Flash technology provides a wider and more uniform light distribution than LED's as well as a color temperature closer to natural sunlight.

Remember we are not comparing cameras.... we are comparing camera phones. And a 5 MP carl zeiss lens with autofocus and Dual LED is good enough for a camera phone.

Ofcourse the features make it a good phone but not necessarily the best.
Weight & thickness: A difference of 17grams & 2x1.2x2.3mm hardly matters much unless the user is extremely weak.
Sound quality: In the end most users will use 128K Mp3 and that itself destroys quality. So not much difference to be practical. Unless u use sennheiser top models u won't be able to make out the difference. On Ep630 which most will buy they will sound almost the same.
Keypad : One has to just get accustomed to the keypad. As i said before looks can be deceptive. And if u really want the best experience while typing u will need a QWERTY keypad.
Battery : N79 has a slightly better battery but N82 is no slouch either. It easily lasts 2 days with moderate usage.
Looks : Frankly when i first saw n79 , i thought it was cheap chinese phone. Looks are totally different for different viewers. Neither of the them is an phone like iPhone to be called an beauty by the majority.

Extending the same logic further, just because the N82 is a better camera phone, I wouldn't buy it if on other so many fronts N79 is a better overall mobile. Those who vote for the N82 are just comparing the camera and are not thinking of a all round balanced converged device.
Just my own thoughts ! May not apply to everyone.

Dude both of them have almost similar features. N93 is too fat when compared to both of them. Ur logic doesn't quite fit in here.
Even if they release an phone with almost similar features to N82 & N79 like for ex. N99 with an extra feature as Optical zoom then
A) If i already have an phone with 5mp cam with Xenon then i won't buy N99
B) If i don't have an phone then i will choose N99 , if the price difference between them is sensible.
And furthermore since N79 is a new phone it will be priced higher than N82, but after some time price of N79 will come down but so will the price of N82.
In the end both of them will around the same price region with not much difference.
Having led light during video recording is useful but frankly speaking people will prefer taking more pics than videos after all 1min video easily takes up 20mb space. And in mobiles space is always a scarcity. And the N82 takes pretty good video in night with its night mode. In total darkness led light videos will only useful for very close objects and will mostly have too much noise due to size of the lens.Having an Xenon flash eliminates most of that noise in pics.
And furthermore N82 can do Vga @ 30 fps while N79 can only do Vga @ 15 fps. So in the end videos taken with N79 will look an slideshow when compared to the N82's smooth Videos.
In the end both of them cancel each other out in Video recording but still N82 holds the edge with Xenon.
Fp2 which mostly eye candy can be achieved on Fp1 through themes and even Flash themes.The upcoming firmwares should incorporate transition effects as seen in N81.
The other feature FM transmitter is controversial. Its banned in several countries. Even the N78 for india didn't have one
afaik. And so getting N79 with FM transmitter is highly unlikely.
See the thing is N79 is a good phone , having a few flaws but exceptional in none. Its more like an average good phone suited for an average joe.
Similarly N82 is also an good phone , having a few flaws but the features where it triumphs it blows the competition away. (lol this is almost sounding like iPhone
)
It was awarded best 5mp cam award, has an dedicated graphics chip and atm the most powerful hardware in an phone from Nokia alongside N95 8gb.

N82 is the top overall phone defeating every other mobile in the test
"Practically"
The features where N79 is better than N82, that u can easily adjust to.
But the features where N82 is better , N79 can't incorporate them.
But in the end no phone is 100% perfect so
as i always say this and will again......choose according to ur needs & preferences
N82 vs N79
Re: N82 vs N79
In looks N79 is better IMO but I dont care.
