I need a new phone
Friday, October 9, 2009 6:57:59 PM
I've been using a Nokia N73 for just over a year now and its been a really good phone to use. I've been posting here solely via the phone, mostly uploading pics via email and using Opera Mini to update posts.
The phone developed some fault a couple of weeks back where the joystick would just keep scrolling down when it was just touched and it could not be stopped. I showed my phone to an expert who pressed the joystick and its has been working fine for now. He said that I've been using the phone excessively hence the joystick may have become loose. That really worried me, and I'm trying to be careful as I use the joystick.
Now I've been looking around for a replacement phone before this phone is seriously damaged.
I've been very pleased with the performance of this handset so I'll probably stick to a Nokia device. Also I use a lot of symbian apps so the new phone will need to have a symbian OS. I prefer a candybar shaped phone and I'm not too keen on using a touch screen device.
I've considered the available options and the phone I'm interested in is Nokia N79.

Its very similar to the N73, more like a upgraded version. With features like a 5mp camera, gps, wifi, faster processor, etc I'm really looking forward to get my hands on this phone soon.

One warning about the N79. The Clear key is placed in just the right position that it's easy to hit the call end key when trying to delete something. The amount of posts I've lost due to that problem on other phones...

@Mik Thanks. I will try to be careful.
Do you know where I can find out about the RAM on the phones?
