Nokia had been touting the Black N79 with grey, blue, and black option covers on their site for awhile now, but we hadn’t ever seen one proper. Well, here we are, with one in the wing. Options are always solid, and the way Nokia changes the UI colour scheme based on what faceplate you have attached is especially cool. Although the black model pictured here bears signs of Taiwanese origin, it’s entirely possible we’ll see this one lapping up on North American shores to keep its albino brother company. For those suddenly captivated by the new digs, the N79′s specs include:
- 2.4″ QVGA screen
- Quad-band EDGE, WCDMA 850/1900 MHz
- 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash
- aGPS
- 4.33 x 1.93 x 0.59 in, .41 oz
