Looks like the update hasn't made it to India as yet. I tried updating the phone but it didn't show an update available.

the reason why phone manufactures release phones like this is cuz they never cared about us and never wil and for the people that take sides all phonemanufactures are the same it's all about money not consumers being happy phones that charge via usb is old and shud have been standard a long time ago and all phones shud be water and dust proof by now for example bud no they wil never give us something to last because they reli on uss buying new models p.s people owning a 97 might feel stupid if a n97 mini comes out

Many product muct be law go through testing to see they are safe before issue, why do mobile phone manufacturers always let new customers down, are the clueless as to the damage this does to their reputation or are they so arrogant they don't give a (pick your choice of word here)

It's a nice concept. But the phone is not stable. Users in Nigeria will suffer more. Most frebbies on OVI will not upload into the phone. Should not have bought the phone.

No, 3G on T-Mobile in the US won't work. Only 3G on AT&T does.

The most annoying thing on this phone is the double tap to launch some applications/fonctions.

It's supposed to be a touchphone, not windows XP on a computer !

wats the point of testing the phones and then not fixing them before the release
