Mem Card Trick is not a regular feature, Fed up of carrying a mem card, in office or after silient mode changed to normal. Ovi free apps should be tested by Nokia, if they are cause of boot frereze.
Nokia i spend 700$ to get white, since month I am frustrated even after update 20 latest boot freeze is damm there,
. Nokia feed back team listen and react, I will be the first man on earth to publically burn my set, with media press present!

You need to make sure that you are updating the software regularly. faults where the phone is crashing etc is where the user isn't looking after it properly

Forget Nokia they are heading for bankrupcy
Just two weeks ago, a suggestion that Apple could sell 10 million iPhones during the current quarter began to make its way around the Mac investor and rumor communities. At the time, the claim was significantly higher than analysts' consensus in the 8-9 million range, and was thus viewed with some skepticism.
Tech Trader Daily today reports on an Apple stock upgrade from Broadpoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall, who has done things one better by pushing his quarterly iPhone sales estimates to 11.3 million on the strength of international sales.
Meanwhile, Broadpoint.AmTech analyst Brian Marshall boosted his target this morning to $260, from $235, repeating his Buy rating. Marshall's note focused on explaining his higher-than-consensus estimate for December quarter iPhone sales: he sees 11.3 million units in the quarter, above the Street at an estimated 8.8 million. Marshall sees U.S. units down 20% sequentially, to about 2.5 million units, but with international units more than doubling sequentially to 8.8 million units.

nilpiytsdia, 28 Dec 2009the phone explodes when you take it close to a candle. in 3 seconds in goes "boom".
do not... moreThat makes me laugh. I bet hundreds of people took their N97 near a candle to see if it explodes. That was nice.
Anyway, great phone.

I bought my N97 some 15 days back and got the software updated as well. I am using the phone for mails and accessing internet, chatting etc. and it is working fine.

i always take photos with my n97, so far no problems, if there is, its fault of my shaky hands,
-blurry images: i was shaking when i capture images.
-flash bang effect: i slightly jerked my hand while the flash of camera flashes, (it happened so many times that i almost got frustrated, but then realized it was me,
-scratches on camera lens: i dont care, as long as it does not affect the image quality, (i have diagonal scratch along the camera lens, but still take good vidz and picz, though all my camera phones has scratches on lens)
-OVI malfunction: i hate OVI app!!! always opens when i browse ovi through web browser!!! need hard RESET!!!
-LAGGING: i have apps that eats 85% of ram, (if this occurs, dont do anything, the phone just snap back to the main screen, or restart or turns itself off, 2-3mins of time interval)
-squeaky back cover: because of the not so hot swap micro sd card slot (when i place my n97 inside the carrying case or take it out, i always hear a squeak sound LOL!!!)

i have this phone 1 month.1. profiles start change alone, music of profile too. 2.when ever i open my contact list i have the same names 2 or 3 times. i delete them and after this they show again in contact list.3. touch screen doesn't work always.4. camera make very bad photos. i am very disappoint of the phone. it's very expensive (500 euros)and worth nothing.

NEVER DOWNLOAD FROM OVI STORE!!
My Nokia 5800 XpressMusic WONT BOOT due to have so many apps from the OVI STORE.
If you dont have a memory card, buy one!! Ignore the Nokia Care as THEY DONT HAVE A FIX to this plague - IT'S THE OVI that's causing the issues.
I tried my MODIFIED MEMORY CARD TRICK on both my Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and they work successful.
OVI is a failure. IT WILL DESTROY our beloved Nokia phones.
Have you noticed that when you HARD RESET it will BOOT fine but when you download it will not?

Anonymous, 28 Dec 2009i've bought it few days earlier. Today after receiving a call it got hanged. I have tried seve... moreI bought my phone two months ago. It already broke down once. Took it to Nokia, service was good but still didn't expect it to break down in one month. Was fine for a month and now it hanged on me. The bad thing is even if I take the battery out and put it back in and switch it on, it still hangs. Can't use it at all. Will have to take it to Nokia again. Problem is I didn't buy it in the country where I am staying in right now. Can be quite annoying. Have been a Nokia user since the 5110 days. Up to 8210, 6600, 6630, n90, n80, n95, n95 8gig and now n97. This might be my last Nokia.

in support to my last post, i got a problem when receiving a call, its not unlocking automatically, what i did is to unlock by sliding the side lock quickly before answering a call, and i already got the hang of it,
no problems in messaging (i havent try e-mails though)
no problems in n-gage (its perfect!!!)
no problems in charging through wall or USB
-i havent drop the phone yet, maybe i still dont have that routine
-3G not yet supported in my current location (though n97 is already in the market in some provinces)
-most of the problems are in my web/default browser, always snaps me back in the main screen after minutes of using.

i've bought it few days earlier. Today after receiving a call it got hanged. I have tried several ways to restart the phone but all went in vein. Finally i had to remove the battery. Does any one ever face this kind of problem? What is the solution? One more thing which i have noticed is the camera quality is really poor compare to N73. It looks pale while taking picz using flash. Found no improvement while switching off flash. Appreciate if any one let me know the process of taking picz using n97.
