It's amazing to see how far phones have come in such a short space of time.
pat phelan May 12, 2009 at 09:10: you are seriously turning into James Body
jamesbody May 12, 2009 at 10:23: Turning into me? I hope not (for his sake).
Whatleydude has infinitely more hair than I do!
BTW – I realy do rate the N79 – it is a VERY nice little phone – which does all the really good stuff that the venerable N95 did plus more!

James Whatley May 12, 2009 at 11:58: I spent some time hanging out with Jennifer Hanen (@MsJen) while I was over in L.A. and – according to her – the N95's camera produces everso slightly better images than that of the N79.
But yes, agreed – the N79 is a bit of an unsung hero.
Maybe we can poke Nokia/WOM for one to review…

Edward Umana May 14, 2009 at 23:12: James, you can activate the transitions on the Nokia 5800 by going> themes>general>options>theme effects. Its really hidden but its there,
James Whatley May 14, 2009 at 23:39: Cool, but is that the same on the US variants?
I'll ask Jeb
Edward Umana May 15, 2009 at 00:09: Yeah, I bought mine on NokiaUSA, its a NAM
