Nokia Lumia 800 review: New beginnings
Motorola RAZR XT910 review: Through thick and thinNokia N97 review: Lock, stock and touch
They 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...

nice test...but nokia make me sad...
If they continue in the same way, like this with the n86 and this phone. They wil simple end up like siemens.
People dont find their models attractive anymore caus the UI and technology isnt catching up.
If you got much more to the same amount of money with a samsung, lg or any phone, will people just quit bying nokia...and it is hard to get off with a rumor!
Come on nokia, show us something worthy buying!

Already updates available to fix bugs...have had 3 of these returned due to faults with screen, keypad and software...
Why do Nokia keep feeding us this stuff?

I regret buying this phone,use it for 3 weeks already,cost me about Malaysian 2,200 or USD600+? picture quality of N97 is bad compare to my bro's omnia i900,it is too bulky due to its qwerty kboard,if i have a lot of pictures in the gallery it will really slows the picture browsing,i'm going to trade this phone soon,no more Nokia for me,really really regret this.

hi,
i have recently upgraded from the n95 to the n97 and it might just be my handset but has anyone else noticed a step DOWN in pic or video quality with the newer n97 when compared to the n95??
i thought they had the SAME camera?

I'm thinking of buying this phone but wanted an opinion of someone who has actually used one.
I need it for calling, sms, mms, internet usage (eg email, facebook etc) and to be able to take a decent photo. Also playing games and being able to add your own ringtones are also an added advantage.
If I use my phone for these sort of things is this a good phone for me and is the battery life pretty good?

jealous nokia n97 haters
majority of the people prefer basic UI
parents and older people cbf playing around with it and want something nice and simple.
in my opinion they probably designed it to target matured people/parents to have a fancy phone but deliver the basic requirements they need to enjoy it better or to keep up with technology..hence why it may have been priced high atm, for the "on-the-go" workers
thats my 2cents, though i would prefer the samsung Omnia i8910 HD, itll be awhile before it comes out so id buy this till i8910 comes out

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-07-08 15:28 from tVmm - click to readNokia does it again, its all smoke and mirrors effort from Nokia with the n97.
The last really good and possibly great Nokia handset for me was the Nokia 6110 from 1998. A true handset that did what it was meant to do.
Sadly since then every Nokia that has been out there in the market place lives off the Nokia name only.
In terms of the n series, the n95 and n95 8GB were great handsets by Nokia, this new n97 fails in several areas, most notably the firmware errors, lets see, Nokia has this handset in pre-prodoction for what 6 months now and still could not iron out 99% of the bugs?
Really why anyone continues to buy Nokia is beyond understanding, failure after failure ...
Buy Samsung or LG and be better off, as for Apple, only if you have been brain washed into thinking apples are good for your health :-)
Ask Steve Jobs for an answer to that ...

Take away the Apollo mission expectations or must visit Mars by tomorrow targets, the N97 is a good phone. The problem is, its more of a social networking tool than a power phone. That's why its suffering. The phone doesn't know its identity. Seriously, don't think this is a uber business phone grade product like the E90 or the Touch Pro 2. Think of this as a 'have fun' product and it'll do just fine. It will get you to Facebook, instant messaging, skype, etc, the usual social networking crap. But it you get this phone and think just because it has a QWERTY slide out keyboard, that it should be better than the E90 or TP2, then definitely going to crash and burn.

If Nokia wants to compete, they should focus on building a pretty UI with fancy animation that acts as a smokescreen around a very basic smartphone. They don't need multitasking, highly customizable homescreen, flash, copy & paste and all the "complicated" stuff. Most people are not smart enough to notice and want those. Invest massively on a pretty UI and marketing (especially in North America) and people will fall for it. Add features (even basic ones) in later revisions. Look at Apple.

though i dont have the Nokia N97 just yet, i plan to buy it when it comes out here in australia.
alot of arguments between Iphone 3Gs and Nokia 97
in my opinion each phone has advantages and disadvantages against one another... i reckon it all comes down which phone suites your personality or lifestyle
Iphone = if you love to listen to alot of music and play around with the applications
N97 = like decent photos or travel alot and take some happy snaps, texting without touch screen keyboard etc etc..
me i choose N97 FTW!!!!
