The Nokia N79 is a great media-centric handset that gives users the flexibility to create high-quality content with the 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, while at the same time helping users consume media like music and videos. The Nokia N79 has apparently been popular enough with active-lifestyle enthusiasts to prompt Nokia to offer a sportier, special-edition Nokia N79 tailored to the needs of gym-going customers.

The Nokia N79 Active, as the new handset is called, comes bundled with a Polar Bluetooth WearLink heart monitor. The Polar Bluetooth WearLink heart rate monitor keeps tabs on your heart rate and gives you real-time feedback on the Nokia N79 Active’s display. The Nokia N79 Active retail package also includes sport headphones, and armband, and a 4GB microSD card to help jump-start your New Year’s Resolution.

Of course, the Nokia N79 Active features the same high-end features that we’ve come to appreciate in the Nokia N79. The 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, GPS, FM radio, and 3G data connection ensure that the Nokia N79 Active is just as functional as its less health-minded counterpart.

We’re expecting to see the Nokia N79 Active go live later this year with a €375 ($490 USD) price tag.
