Nokia N97 review: Lock, stock and touch - read the full textThey don’t get any bigger than that. A launch of this caliber can aptly be called inauguration day. The release of Nokia N97 is the N-series counter-move that geeks have been waiting for since November. Easily one of the most...

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-08-03 11:37 from wgjrhey i have the same problem with my phone if the phone is within 30 days since you first bought it you could try send it away on early life failure which is what i have done 3 times now lol what it does is nokia checks the fault and approves the fault and the store you brought it from gives you a new phone.
Unfortunetely this is a common fault with this phone and as i said i have ELFed my phone 3 times and the new one still has the same problem.
Just give it a try and see what happens.
Sorry i couldnt be more help but thats pretty much all you can do to fix this problem.

worst part of this cell is its operating system which doesnt have touch flow like iphone. I have heard tht symbian is launching its software update in some time which will give touch flow to its various application... i ask why so late A@@ Ho%$@? i m using this cell for the past 4 months and its gr8.. only thing where iphone beats this cell is its touch flow... otherwise i love this cell more than iphone as i have also used iphone in past.... but features like its application, its memory, its carema and its looks are superb and beats iphone anytime... only disadvantage of this phone is its old sick operating system... why doesnt nokia try somethng new... i hate symbian.. it sucks to the bottom....

I have spotted a light scratch at my camera lens, is it right that the scratch will get worse and it cause by the lens cover? how to fix that? becoz' in other reviews and even "wikipedia" said that the scratch does effect the camera performance.

well it is a great review and N97 is one of the best phones in the market.. I read alot of comments from nokia haters.. well i just want to tell them.. if you love iphones that much .. well leave nokia alone.. really and whatever nokia comesdown nokia users will stay nokia users no matter what..I am a user of this phone and i used alot of cellphones in the market, i tried the LG Sumsung Iphone Nokia .. But this phone worth it .. its not wating of time nor MOney .. so I advise you ppl if you are searching for the good cellphone go for N97
Nokia User For Life :P

i think there's a mistake in the review.

the d-pad positioned in the left is just right. This phone has the capability i think to play n-gage games in the future or probably even now. i think it supports n-gage 2.0, or probably by an upcoming firmware upgrade soon.

this is nseries 2009, it's unlikely that this phone doesn't support n-gage 2.0

Eseries though, very unlikey to happen, and i do understand.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-08-03 11:37 from wgjryeh i had the same exact same problem
but i somehow fixed it by doing this:

1.the people who i usually keep in touch i added them to my favourite contacts (only 4 people who have called me showing there number only and not there name which kinda made me abit disappointed)

2. so i then added a "nickname" to there details
(note: the star next to there name when in "contacts")
but i dont know if it work

3. coz straight after i took them off my favourite contacts and just got rid of the whole "favourite contact" widgets and just kept them as a normal contact

4. after that there names and numbers just showed up

i still dont know how or what i did to fix it
but thats just how i fluked it i guess

Every phone has their own capability and weakness..
recently im using N97 that i just bought last 2days..
its very great phone, i spend almost 2300 ringgit Malaysia
for this N97..I think Nokia N97 is the best phone perform in
Market, Large screen, large space, large application, large identity, large design and large creativity.That is my opinion of course..
If u dont like the N97 that;s mean its not suitable for u
or its not your taste. Same like girl though~
well its Nokia N series we are talking about.

Anyway N97 rules..worth it! ^^

I was gifted for my bday by my bro
I used it for 5 days & sent it back to my bro
went bck to my old work horse E50
Price is Ridiculous Rs.35,000 India
Screen Display - No remarkable diff between E50 & N97
Touch Screen is lousy
Accelerator is lousy
No editing of Quick Office - Nokia It is a shame - u r ripping others
Hangs a lot
If Screen gaurd is used - unlocking is a problem
Application in Ovi Store - don't function properly Like Compass/ Step Count
Good for people who have Desk job not fr guys like me on the field as we have to dial as we go & the keypad is horrible (Both touch screen and Physical)
My advice - Ignore it
