Nokia's Nseries family just keeps getting bigger.  Packed with interesting features, the new N79 has a lot in common with the N85, which is, in our eyes, the current market leader in this field.

Just a little smaller than its big brother, meaning less room on the screen and fewer multimedia options, the N79 nevertheless has plenty of interesting options.

With what's now a standard set of connectivity options (3G+ and WiFi), a 5 Megapixel camera, a 4 GB memory card, the N79 sets itself apart with a GPS chip. All of this is packed inside a small, snappy case that's both smart and--should you wish--customizable.

It's not as high-end as the N85 (but then again it's not as expensive, either), the N79 could very easily tempt customers who don't necessarily want the very latest technology in their pocket but who would still like to enjoy some modern multimedia features.

How satisfied are you with your smartphone ? This was the question asked by ChangeWave to 4000 owners of such a mobile device in the U.S. The study focused more particularly on the popular iPhone 3G by Apple and its recent competitor -the BlackBerry Storm- the touch-screen released by RIM.

The results of the study won't come as a great surprise: the iPhone wins with flying colors over the BlackBerry Storm. 77% of the owners of the phone "Made in Apple" report to be "very satsified" whereas a mere 33% of the RIM smartphone users said to be so. Moreover 14% of the Storm owners claimed to be "unsatisfied". By contrast, this was the case of only 5% of the iPhone users.

These results may however still change. Paul Carton, research director at ChangeWave underlines that the Storm is a recent product that can still evolve. "Competitve pressure may have caused the Storm to be launched before it was quite ready for prime time". According to him, the correction of the Storm's bugs could modify the conclusions of this survey. This had already been the case with the previous iPhone-killer, the HTC Touch Diamond. A new firmware had totally changed its offerings a few weeks after its launch.
