It's a button that generally doesn't get used as much as others and so doesn't require quick repetitive pressing which the right thumb does best if you're right handed. Especially when this is a 'touch' phone, why scroll up, down, left and right to get to something when you can just 'press' on the screen?

You complain (on page 3) about the D-Pad being on the left.

I'm right handed, I'm used to d-pads being on the left... Tell Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and all past and present game controller makers that the d-pad is on the wrong side.
Ok this is not a "Gaming Device" but you can play games on it.
Seriously... I look at the d-pad and feel at home when it's on the left, in fact, I challenge you to show me a right sided d-pad.

N97 is poor sh*t, slow 434Mhz chipset and only 128 MB of RAM,standard LCD instead of AMOLED, poor resolution @ 360x640, it´s a midrange phone from 2008 priced @ High-End,WTF? keep your crappy fones and stop fooling around,No-kia

awesome phone and camera but i cant seem to open the pics after snapping them as they end up to be more than 700kb or so. i'd have to copy them to my lap top and then open the picture. any advice ?

Great review on the N97, very detailed and usefull, thanks a lot!
I have one question, since I'm not realy sure about the color I'm going to choose. On the pictures of the black version on this website the chrome around the edge of the telephone looks broze, rather than the expected silver. Is this the natural color, or does it just look like that due to the way the light shines on it?
thanks in advance

but i hardly consider this an issue, by the way - at least not important to me. I did not know also the Windows did that.
As far as N97 is considered, I am a very satisfied user of N95, my second phone is BB Bold (which is a different, but a very good phone - I used N95 as a main phone, and BB Curve as a second phone, but with the Bold - I switched it and my BBold now is my main phone).
I had intention to switch to N97, but now I am reluctant to do so, it just seems not worth it to spend the money on n97, as it does not offer anything in addition to my (second phone) N97. If it is touch I would like to get, then obviously I can look at better phones, not excluding iPhone (which I used for a month or so before)...
Finally, and not discussing the price here, I think n97 is a good phone if this is the first high-end phone of Nokia you are going to use. Otherwise, I do not consider the upgrade an worth option.

The n5800 which feels cheap does everything this phone can at less than half the price. This is definitely not a $700 usd phone for me.

You have the same problem I described. The name you assigned yourself is not the same as CID name. Nokia need to fix the problem with saving CID name in call log when the calling number is not in contact list.

(... moreIt would but take note to properly read a 50MB .PDF file, have to consider the RAM not storage. 50MB pdf is a large pdf file even by desktop standards so I wouldn't recommend using a phone to view it.

You're looking at one of them right now. N97 has a built-in PDF-reader as well as a 3,5' nHD screen (640x360).
