Nokia has announced the N79; a candybar handset with an FM transmitter, 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and N-Gage gaming functionality.
With A-GPS and Nokia Maps preinstalled, you can navigate your way around, and follow turn-by-turn directions thanks to a three month prepaid license. After that though, you'll have to show the money to continue taking advantage of the service.
The Nokia N79 features Xpress-On covers available in Light Sea Blue, Espresso Brown, Olive Green, White and Coral Red, with a combination of these coming included in the box, and although the design may not be as sleek as the N85, it still looks pretty good compared to the Nokia N82.
Like the N85, there's no expansive internal memory, but a 4GB microSD card comes packaged in the box.
The Nokia N79 is expected to become available at the beginning of October with a price tag of £280 SIM free.
