Hi All N97 owners ..I was hoping to find the answers to my questions :
Q1. Where is your phone made in ? China or Finland ? My N97 is made in China, however I have a friend and her phone is made in Finland. (My phone is black and hers is white)

Q2. Does any1 else have a problem of the N97 side unlock button not triggering the backlight at times. The phone has to be unlocked a couple of times before it lights up. I hope this is just a software issue and not a hardware problem.

I would really appreciate any feed back ..

Thanks alot

Nokia released this junk of a phone N97 because Apple released it's latest update which sorted out most of the issues in the I Phone. I think Nokia has only hurt it's brand name and image by doing so and releasing a phone with so many bugs. I had pre-ordered and bought the N97 and feel it was the stupidest decision of my life.
Nokia - you lost a fatihful customer of almost 15 years today.

I will never ever recommend a Nokia phone to any of my friends - EVER..........

Iv lost faith in Nokia, Iv been a Nokia fan since 1998. I love my N95 8GB and will not upgrade it for any of the crap that out there now. The N97 is a pile of dog poo, so is the N86 as with the 6303 and the 6700. N

Nokia, what happened - Just give up!!!

Why on Gods Green earth would Nokia release a phone which clearly wasn't finished. I work for a Mobile phone company and are supposed to tell customers this is the greatest phone Nokia has made but

"You'll have to do a software update before you use it, if you want to get the best out of the handset"

Why could Nokia have released this handset WITHOUT the bloody issues, How can you bring out a handset that has SO MANY issues

Ok thanks Sam, looks like the new software might not ave hit the UK yet as ive used the Nokia update software and its not worked. I have read somewhere else that someone else from the UK is also having problems updating. I have to say if Nokia could resolve these issues, then the N97 will be an awsome phone. It looks like i might end up taking the phome back tomorrow cos i also have a network coverage problem with Vodafone where i live.

Use Nokia PC suite and nokia software updater. Make sure u have latest versions of both. Back up ur data... U must have stable internet connection. Follow the instructions.

i have waited so long for this phone until when i got to Optus, the seller warned me not to buy it. He said that its very laggy, and freezes, and of cos many other HIS personal point of view on the phone (which i don care) its either iphone 3Gs or N97. i want N97 so badly but only to see so many telling me its bad. my friend got it for only a week and is on her way to selling it because it freezes so much.
i used to love nokia so much until sony got me, and now i am stuck again.
i really should go into optus and asked if they do a replacement with a DIFFERENT phone if N97 plays up on me.... hummm...
