Nokia N79

The Nokia N79 (typed RM-348, codenamed Vivien) is a high-end Symbian S60 candybar smartphone announced in August 2008 and released in October of the same year as part of the Nseries, the multimedia-focused phones lineup.

It was an improvement over N78 in their lineup, and it tends to follow the standards of later Nseries phones: 5 MP camera, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and GPS.

The N79 was available in three colors: Canvas White, Seal Grey and Petrol Black and comes with various interchangeable Xpress-on covers dedicated to each phone color, such as: Sea Blue, Olive Green and Espresso Brown for Canvas White, Espresso Brown, Coral Red and White for Seal Grey, and Dark Grey, Steel Grey and Deep Plum for Petrol Black. It changes the handset’s theme via 4 pinouts below the battery to match the cover color (you can disable this feature).
