Hi Carol
I haven't seen the N79 in any depth, only a dummy someone kindly showed
me. But the N86 I have seen live, if you see what I mean, and it's a
really nice phone. It is a slider, like the N95, where you push up for
the keypad, and down for the MP3 controls. All buttons are tactile on
it though, and there is a separate key lock on the side.
Just adding my thoughts in case you weren't aware of its accessibility.

It's going to be a toss up for me between the N79 and N86. Unlike
Steve, I won't be having both!
