[icetmad01]

physical quality of the N97 = great

software quality of the N97 = SHIT

The touch screen is just horrible and laggy most of the time.

I used to love nokias until i bought this one. I can safely say I will never touch another nokia post-dating the N97.

[stephentsang2000]

Must be someone else's phone in his class. This duke must be too jealous for treating his classmate's phone like that~

[RCheroes]

[Freelancer2000]

Noooo....You bastard....:((((((...nice test;)

[Snowythebear]

what if my key comes alive and goes for my n-series logo :( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo­oooooooo

[MasterBoy392]

hey, i have the same nokia but why your is flashing at the sensor??

how to activate that please..

thinx in advance

[Squall762]

@MasterBoy392 I think it's the infared sensor that picks up proximity to your ear.

the reason it shows up in the video, is because the camara can capture infared, where as our eyes cannot see that light shade in the spectrum.

[MasterBoy392]

@Squall762

thank you or responding to my question. i really appreciate it.

yes,but, how to activate it? please. help me, it look beautiful when it flash. i know i am annoying. but please, i did not understand your reply.

[Squall762]

@MasterBoy392 The thing is, you don't activate it, it's automatically activated.

Easiest way to demonstrate is by grabing another phone or a video camara, and record your N97 on the idle home page. you "should" see it flashing.

[MasterBoy392]

@Squall762

hmmm, thanks, you are really nice.

thank you for responding again

[Squall762]

@MasterBoy392 In saying that, a camera or video camara has the ability to capture approxamatly 5 times more than the human eye can see.

As demonstrated by the following. There is only a very small portion of light that we "actually" see;

Search Wikipedia for "Light Spectrum" or "Electromagnetic spectrum"

The third image down will help you out in this ;)

I would have posted an image link directly, but it wouldn't let me >_>

[mnattawat]

[bos0u]

OmG.. i can't watch...

[bhEm0144]

ay cra

[FlossyJoss09]

im buying this phone :) ive seen so many videos and reveiws on it and everyone loves it so im gonna take there word. hopefully it turns out how they sed and showed. well done mate

[ryuhyourinmaru]

but after one hour, the colour will be disappear

[Smomolyno]

@ClosetmonkeyProds Thank you so much ...appreciate it

[Smomolyno]

How is the sensitivity of the touch screen? I've try it but it wasn't very responsive...maybe because it was tried by so many people before me

[Smomolyno]

I want to buy a new phone...which one do you think N97 or Iphone 3gs?

[hietsjot]

I am currently asking myself the same question. But I recently decided to buy the N97. No hard fanboy feelings ... I would buy both if I had the money but why would you pay more a month ( if you can get a contract off ) for some device which is limited. Like no flash and all other crap. You can get nice things from both phones but from my point of view, the nokia won. And by the way, the camera is fucking superior ...

[Joey6277]

nokia n97! deff

[killerduckuk]

i hav a n97. I managed to slightly crack my screen. I have no idea how i did it. I only found out the morning after a really fucking heavy night out. Fuck knows what happened? Maybe I was dancing with a fat bird and she leant on my leg or something? Fat cunt...

[NosLogic]

lol :)

[chriscoolio89]

It hurts so much to see this video... :-(

[SuicideGirlx]

[tooty644]

they only cost £200 in carphone warehouse

[bonjyboy]

These are fake tests, cause i have N97 and it is too sensitive for scratches. these guys applied some solution or protector sheet on the phone. i applied the stylus on paint and it got some scratches. So, Please dont do that to you phone. its my advice to all

[sonnyman2000]

i keep my N97 in my pocket together with my keys and i don't get any scratches from that... Great phone tho really recommend it

[blitzkrieg414]

Yeah! me too. My N97 is already 3 months old, it doesn't have any hairline scratches.

[oOHagbardCelineOo]

@sonnyman2000 No Scratches on the Cromeframe?

[sonnyman2000]

@oOHagbardCelineOo well its not shiny now as its almost 2 years old.. there are many small scratches but the screen is just as fine. the only thing that bothers me is that the lock key was kinda loose when i got it

[usamaforu1]

r u guys using any protection paper on N97?

[x1m4g3rx1]

they have insurance =/ so its no prob

[lolnumpty]

you cant claim from insurance if you were trying to damage it..... the company wont pay up

[jordangchelseafc2007]

[milkmanrescue]

[celtic94]

[Sammy1278]

I cringed at 2:35 onwards to 3:02 and then especially at 3:10

[JustCallMeFox]

[Cioww3]

iphone 3gs is better than nokia n97 !

[regisfun]

yher and i guess you have a iphone3gs and you don't have a nokia n97 :)

[JustCallMeFox]

[MoudhyQ8]

[joncortez09]

the chrome trimming on my nokia n97 got scratched with just the ring around my finger :(

[jinkis4]

this video must be sensored!!! omg!!! it's like punishing a poor little kid but it's a poor little phone!!! Leave him aloooooone! omg im gonna cry

[u2ubex]

I bet you're being paid by Nokia for doing such idiotic tests

[CorruptCop]

On my white N97 the bezel or inner edge of the rear of the (pop up) screen has started to flake off, exposing transparent plastic. It is about 4 weeks old.

[ashtonkonon]

poor keypad!!!!... scratched viciously by that guy,..

[mickdoesclick]

I was kinda scared to attach the styles to the phone, hence, I even took it off since I thought it would scratch the glass/back.

Now Im confident it will be fine. Thanks!

[catfinders]

y don u run it over by a 3 ton truck huh? it happened to me and couple of ma other friends it can happen to anyone!!!

[Snowythebear]

yes because that happens in everyday life... u and ur friends are pretty careless -_-

[pilatradu]

:)) OMG crazy :)) do to more phones that pls :)

[kalinls]

lol why are you doing those tests on your NEW PHONE! YOU DONT DESERVE IT!!

[gavrilaeugen]

u are crazy dude

[kevcarspray]

FAKE - Who would risk fucking up their new phone, i mean it's not exactly Nokia showing off because it's just home made clip, not Nokia Sponsered, suppoerted nor endorsed.

[stefann1989]

so what if it's not his phone ?

some people just can't stop posting stupid comments....

[Krisspychiken]

wow douchebag, look at smash my iphone that sure as hell isnt apple endorsed .. some people are just huge fans and most likely these guys have 2 of the phone ... not every one wants to keep their phone scratch free for 10 years... its called warranty, learn how to falsify a claim

[donfigd]

i was going to buy this phone but now i will. this mobile rocks man(rock solid) ...thanks for your vids

[8UNKER]

U guys must be pretty darn rich to be able to risk a 400 pound phone, and not just any phone the N97, the queen of touch screen smartphones

[ammz2]

why u r doin such tests??

Give to me bro :)

[mighk21]

why dont you smash it with a hammer hehe lets see what happens

[jazonguzilatar89]

u could've just give to me

[shot951]

holy shit its like really hard to break

[jaundicecelebrations]

If you add the phones4u 'are you popular' Facebook application you have a great chance of winning this phone.

[CR7SPY]

great mobile

[Maverick2k]

xeniosm -

I'm unsure if your brain can understand the reasons for creating such a video, though if you weren't quite as dumb and inbred as you appear you'd realise this was done for many reasons, mainly the first being to give quality information to any potential buyers of the phone.

As you are probably not aware, there are other videos from n97geeks that offer similar content, basically showing users how much wear and tear the phone can take.

Jeez dude, get a brain. Your IQ must be minus.

[yo2thepeople]

I cant stand vids like this its to hard to watch i makes my body cringe but then i want to see how good my future fone will stand up to its elements

[xeniosm]

you destroyed a n97 just to tell us that it can be scratched? wtf? not even a stainless steel one can stand that. i feel sorry for the poor phone

[ZeroRegret16]

Not really... if it was a proto given to them by nokia... no big deal... or company paid for it

[KNWQA]

too bad it cost SO FUCKING MUCH!

[svntsvn]

Is that light a notification light? The blinking one by the proximity censor. thanks

[Theonlymac001]

wow the chrome paint is actually peeling off here. They could have made that a bit better. The back cover seems to have been made out of the same, fairly soft plastic it always was. i must admit i don't really like that.

[PoetryRocksAlot]

Chrome paint peels off easily, you can't really prevent that.
