Hi Saqib,
The biggest advantage is auto searching for Internet connections. So if it
doesn't see my wifi connection, it automatically drops to my GPRS
connection. All the newer phones do this. It is also smaller.
I still use my N82 though, and think it is one of the best phones, though
the N86 is going to give it a run for its money, even though it is more
bulky.
All the best
Steve
All the best

Hi Steve. I take it you have moved away from the famous N82? What advantages
does the N79 have over the N82?
