i have N97 for a year and my opinion is: LAGGY, bad construction (silver cover is gone already) and touch screen sucks. Yes. i do use the last SW version. And i do take care of it. Really desapointed with it
@SonicXRulz Actually, as i told before, i had a problem with this Phone. the silver cover was "peeling" (is this expression right?) and GPS was waaaay too slow. i sent it to NOKIA and they gave me a brand new one... Well. for now the consideration i have is: Using Ovi Maps, Nokia N97 finds satellites (i live in Brazil) within about 4 seconds and phone is not freezing until now.

Damn you NOkia....I just Bought the Nokia N97 and Loved it....And now you are going to Release the beast Nokia N900.... Now I will again have to sell my Nokia N97 and Buy Nokia N900 the king of all Phones
can anyone tell me, can i update the firmware on this phone if i get it straight from 3 the service provider?? ive heard u cant!! and if u buy a phone from dialaphone do they come sim free? even if im gettin a contract with them, ive heard the phones always come sim free no matter what thnx
Depends on what you want. I really want to have a browser which can play flash, so at the moment I prefer the N97. However, I myself think that the iphone has a better "touch-feeling".
I really hope apple releases flash for iphone soon, then I'd get an iphone... probably :o)
no i don't think so but you even don't need it, because the screen has such a brightness that you see the key pad. So you don't need the key pad have lightening. It's just my thought ;)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bad quality back plastics on the phone, to thick, doesn't respond well to finger touch, the little wand looks like a make up brush not good if you are male simply not good enough quality finish to the product for such a premium product That was my impression when I tried this phone in store
You reckon itll be ok to buy a stylus instead of using you fingers? Koz damn I HATE finger prints on my screen. And they better have proper good holders/covers for them koz they didnt have any decent ones for the N95
this phone is not as hot as it looks at all. i saw it in person at nokia today they only had the black version made in china very cheap and total trash. i want the white one made in finland.
great but can it handle been dropped at hip hight as i dropped my N96 last week & its f**ked took it to nokia carepoint & it cannot be fixed as its wiped the main memory of the board it don't even load the nokia logo on start up all i get is a white screen, i think nokia should replace the n96 with the n97 for free just to win back there customers they lost during this release
Nokia N97 is better because allow to use SKYPE or FRING over GSM Network... and in the Iphone you just can use over WIFI... looks like Steve Jobs dont want to destroy the carrier profits... I have one Iphone 3G and one N95, sometimes I want to talk to my friend in Asia and i use Skype in the N95 over GSM network, and it works perfectly...
Faristhe123456789: There is no service provider for this. It comes unlocked, so you can use it with T-Mobile or AT&T, and you're going to have to dish out $600+ for it sadly. But if you look at what the phone has going for it, it's worth the price tag.
I don't want to start stan wars, which I find a little sad when it comes to technology lol, loyalty is silly (says me who bought a PS3 to be loyal). Anyhooo. I just want to know which is better, this or the iphone 3g s. I want internet, pictures, applications, and also I want to know what the nokia is like with playing music, what does the player look like?
What processor's in that phone? I've looked all over and can't find what processor it uses. Someone who owns the phone please look at u're phone info for me. Thanks
I don't know why everbody is gonna buy that iphone, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, that's from a couple of years ago?:S By the way, does the iphone have flashlight?XD
I Just want to LAUGH MY ASS OFF at all those iPhone bitches for being such loyal consumer jerks by letting Steve Jobs rape your wallets you idiots. When the first iPhone came out it was competing with the N95 8Gb which I proudly own and it was NO MATCH mainly because it had No VIDEO capabilities and of course NO 3G. Then the iPhone 3G came out and competing with the N96 digital TV capabilities again was NO MATCH. The only thing they'd have got going on is that damn touch screen and here it is.
statistically the n97 beats out the iphone 3gs in every aspect
but
it is like their laptops, you can buy a HP laptop with 3 times the preformance specs, however, the macbook still out preforms the hp in almost every aspect
well the 3gs pretty much makes up for all the major issues the 3g lacked (camera, memory, etc.). the biggest difference (other then OS) is the slide out keyboard. it honestly depends, if you're a nokia fan go with this. i used to be a nokia fan but honestly they're a bit behind nowadays. my tip, go to a store, try out both. and see which one feels better for you. ps. for this phone you rly need a dataplan, otherwise lots of widgets are pointless. lol.
Yeah that's a good idea, I think I will go down to the stores - just hope their staff don't pester me!
I've always been quite a fan of Nokia, and originally I was going to go for the N97 but I do like the iPhone OS, I find it easier to move around on etc. And yeah I am gonna get a dataplan lol - hopefully an unlimited one!
was originally planning on getting an iphone but am so glad i waited 4 this instead! my dad has an iphone and all he does is complain about it plus the camera is not fantastic, no video recording etc. now they're churning out the 3gs close after the 3g. imo i think apple only care about the money and not the customer. nokia really work on their upgrades. this not only looks stunning but it will also have plenty of features and up 2 date media that will match that of the iphone. can't wait!
iphone is for kids and people without any intelligence, the nokia n97 is superior in every possible way,if youve got more money the brains or are 14 or younger get the iphone for a proper all round multimedia phone buy a nokia n97,i have the n988gb at the moment and have tried the iphone and honestly i would take the n95 ahead of the iphone
I've owned both the N95 and the iphone, i can tell you the N95 suffered from not having a keyboard, and was in no way as good as the iPhone. Now, this bridges the gap, but from what i'm hearing the touch screen can't compare to the iPhone.
it just seems to me like a case of sour grapes,americans buying and swearing by the iphone as it is an american product,unwilling to admit the truth,that europeans can build something better then them,paticulary a country like finland,how can someone utter such blasphemy that a company origanateing from finland can build a better product then us
I bought a LG Arena for my wife as it is much cheaper than iPhone but with a 'better' spec. It works good though with some minor bugs in the software. The quality of the 5M camera is not good, especially in indoor environment. I wonder my N73 takes a better picture (and video).
for those who dont know about nokia and only relive on us market get a step up i do own a iphone and a nokia n95 and believe me i wont change my nokia for a iphone is too complicated and difficult to manage to upload anyhting on the compute to download anything most the apps are not free.. nokia rocks and even now with this out this world n97 wow will really pay the 700 dollars for this phone
Just saw the iphone 3GS online- it's gonna kill the mobile phone industry stone dead! Nokia- your time is up! You're finished!!! And take this brick with you!
Your fucking kidding right?......the great iphone doesnt even have a front camera or flash,not to mention a non removable battery or external memory slot......typical apple zombie
I have a iPhone and been borowing a N97 pre-release phone from a store to test it out for a week. IMO the N97 is better in every way. the iPhone might be a tiny bit moer user friendly but its depends on what yout used too. The N97 is a better multimedia phone then iPhone and has a 16:9 screen. It has a better camera whit video unlike the iPhone and has 32GB built in memory compared to 16GB in the iPhone 3G. So of those phones your choice is between iPhone and N97, personaly id pick the N97.
It's not the MP of a camera that makes it a good camera it's the lens quality. The only real thing bigger MP quality of a camera does is allow you to blowup the picture more before it becomes blurry and pixelated. GOD, funny you bring up Sony Ericsson, those were the most horrible phones that took the worst pictures. Compare Sony Ericsson pictures with a Iphone picture and u'll see what I'm talking about. If a phone doesn't show the actual camera working in ads, their camera SUCKS!!!
Seriously, my Sony Ericsson K750i made better pictures than the current iPhone. SonyEricsonn was for instance the first one with autofocus. And what you describing with the entire mp thing, that is just sometimes true, not always. SonyEricsonn was for instance the first one with autofocus.
Whitout a contract in sweden the iPhone 3GS is over 10000kr(but whit serious luck you can find it for 9000kr if you dig a hell of a lot) while the N97 is 5500kr and the N97 Mini is 5700kr. Yeah, the iPhone is ALOT cheaper.
Amd the iPhones camera is alot worse then the Carl Zeiss optics on the N97 and it still doesnt have multitasking and it doesnt have a 16:9 screen. Nothing has changed really, except that its a bit faster and alot more expencive.
Yeah but Neil its free on a 35£ contract and it does deliver in everything you need, this is probably better than the laptop i am using at the moment!
I am selling the Newest NOKIA N97 32GB, New, Unlocked, In the original box with full accessories , never used or opened. Original from Nokia made in Finland. Only 450 USD , contact me now !!! HOT !!!!
every phone has its advantages and drawbacks ..in i phone the touch is the best but im not happy with the browsing ...blackberry storms browsing is much better and faster than i phones.
sonny erricsons cam is gr8 but it has its downsides as well well this phone i dnt think ill be buying it right away ill wait till the price falls a lil.. .but u cant say nokia isnt in the competition or they'll die tryin.
Well, I dont think they showed anything new by this phone. I mean - what? 5 mpx and a touch screen should make my cry and desire this phone? Yeah, right. SE K800i makes best photos, becouse in a phone a 5 mpx is no use, becouse the matrix is too weak. Touchscreen? Mhm - as in this video the touchscreen SUCKS! It's not as fluent and fast as iPhone ts. And iPhone has premiered over year and a half ago! So, nokia... keep trying. But you might die tryin.
can someone tell me how much this phone cost in america?? in europe is a bit pricey.This is a nice phone.maybe it still isnt an iphone killer but a cool gadget to pay with,
I've got an N95 8GB. I was to upgrade to N96 until i saw this video of N97. N97 is a very big leap from its sisters N95 & N96. What is disappointing for me is that N97 still has the same low grade 5 MP camera. My adrenalin rush is over with N97. I would rather wait for N98 with a 10 Mega Pixel???
Nokia is tha best, iPhone sucks :) i've got N82 now but maybe i'll buy this later. iPhone is so old-fashioned, shit camera and so on. iPods are cool (i've got iPod video 30GB) but Apple isn't able to make phones. Nokia rules that
ur retarded, ur also very dense. a fukin ipod is an mp3 player!!!! every fukers got an mp3 player wooo shit ipod is just a fukin name to make u pay lots of money to apple fatcats, go ahead u brainwashed fukin retarded prick
lmfao nokias n series phones fucking OWN iphone, i phone is a gay phone..u cant take out the batterie, and the bluetooth on the iphone CANT connect to other phones to send or receive data. the internet is 30 a month and u HAVE to get the internet plan. and texting is 5/15/20 a month so thats already 35/45/50 a month NOT counting talk time. you wll end up spending maybe over 150 a month for a phone..iphone is a over priced piece of shit and there is NO micro usd slot at all!! wtf's up with that
You are true about the fact that al the manufacturers are using touch-screens on their device. And its true that they cannot compete with the iphone on that. But they are using touch-screens, because touch-screens hold the future. They are faster when navigating through menus but when typing a text message, nothing can compete with a QWERTY keyboard. The N97 might be a "copy" of the iphone, as it has touch-screen as well, but i exceeds the iphone BY FAR on ALL other fronts.
. I can watch channels live on internet with your browser in nokia n97 .. thanks!

i notice so far in N97 demos, you need to use the phone in landscape mode with the keyboard out at all time, so 2 hands to operate the N97.
When asked to see the touch keyboard he quickly go over it and he's back to using the keyboard in landscape mode.
He has no confident in showing the touch operation in N97 . . .
So don't expect this monster phone to beat Iphone or the android in ease of use.

I'm currently debating whether or not to but this or the iPhone 3GS.

iphone 3gs all the way

What makes you say that?
The specs on the N97 seem a lot better than the iPhone
J20M07 2 years ago
statistically the n97 beats out the iphone 3gs in every aspect
but
it is like their laptops, you can buy a HP laptop with 3 times the preformance specs, however, the macbook still out preforms the hp in almost every aspect
viperz22 2 years ago
well the 3gs pretty much makes up for all the major issues the 3g lacked (camera, memory, etc.). the biggest difference (other then OS) is the slide out keyboard. it honestly depends, if you're a nokia fan go with this. i used to be a nokia fan but honestly they're a bit behind nowadays. my tip, go to a store, try out both. and see which one feels better for you. ps. for this phone you rly need a dataplan, otherwise lots of widgets are pointless. lol.

Yeah that's a good idea, I think I will go down to the stores - just hope their staff don't pester me!
I've always been quite a fan of Nokia, and originally I was going to go for the N97 but I do like the iPhone OS, I find it easier to move around on etc. And yeah I am gonna get a dataplan lol - hopefully an unlimited one!

was originally planning on getting an iphone but am so glad i waited 4 this instead! my dad has an iphone and all he does is complain about it plus the camera is not fantastic, no video recording etc. now they're churning out the 3gs close after the 3g. imo i think apple only care about the money and not the customer. nokia really work on their upgrades. this not only looks stunning but it will also have plenty of features and up 2 date media that will match that of the iphone. can't wait!

iphone is for kids and people without any intelligence, the nokia n97 is superior in every possible way,if youve got more money the brains or are 14 or younger get the iphone for a proper all round multimedia phone buy a nokia n97,i have the n988gb at the moment and have tried the iphone and honestly i would take the n95 ahead of the iphone
markofkaos 2 years ago
I've owned both the N95 and the iphone, i can tell you the N95 suffered from not having a keyboard, and was in no way as good as the iPhone. Now, this bridges the gap, but from what i'm hearing the touch screen can't compare to the iPhone.

it just seems to me like a case of sour grapes,americans buying and swearing by the iphone as it is an american product,unwilling to admit the truth,that europeans can build something better then them,paticulary a country like finland,how can someone utter such blasphemy that a company origanateing from finland can build a better product then us

I bought a LG Arena for my wife as it is much cheaper than iPhone but with a 'better' spec. It works good though with some minor bugs in the software. The quality of the 5M camera is not good, especially in indoor environment. I wonder my N73 takes a better picture (and video).

I have a iPhone and been borowing a N97 pre-release phone from a store to test it out for a week. IMO the N97 is better in every way. the iPhone might be a tiny bit moer user friendly but its depends on what yout used too. The N97 is a better multimedia phone then iPhone and has a 16:9 screen. It has a better camera whit video unlike the iPhone and has 32GB built in memory compared to 16GB in the iPhone 3G. So of those phones your choice is between iPhone and N97, personaly id pick the N97.

Redcc200 2 years ago
It's not the MP of a camera that makes it a good camera it's the lens quality. The only real thing bigger MP quality of a camera does is allow you to blowup the picture more before it becomes blurry and pixelated. GOD, funny you bring up Sony Ericsson, those were the most horrible phones that took the worst pictures. Compare Sony Ericsson pictures with a Iphone picture and u'll see what I'm talking about. If a phone doesn't show the actual camera working in ads, their camera SUCKS!!!

Seriously, my Sony Ericsson K750i made better pictures than the current iPhone. SonyEricsonn was for instance the first one with autofocus. And what you describing with the entire mp thing, that is just sometimes true, not always. SonyEricsonn was for instance the first one with autofocus.
Redcc200 2 years ago
Whitout a contract in sweden the iPhone 3GS is over 10000kr(but whit serious luck you can find it for 9000kr if you dig a hell of a lot) while the N97 is 5500kr and the N97 Mini is 5700kr. Yeah, the iPhone is ALOT cheaper.
Amd the iPhones camera is alot worse then the Carl Zeiss optics on the N97 and it still doesnt have multitasking and it doesnt have a 16:9 screen. Nothing has changed really, except that its a bit faster and alot more expencive.

Well, I dont think they showed anything new by this phone. I mean - what? 5 mpx and a touch screen should make my cry and desire this phone? Yeah, right. SE K800i makes best photos, becouse in a phone a 5 mpx is no use, becouse the matrix is too weak. Touchscreen? Mhm - as in this video the touchscreen SUCKS! It's not as fluent and fast as iPhone ts. And iPhone has premiered over year and a half ago! So, nokia... keep trying. But you might die tryin.

I've got an N95 8GB. I was to upgrade to N96 until i saw this video of N97. N97 is a very big leap from its sisters N95 & N96. What is disappointing for me is that N97 still has the same low grade 5 MP camera. My adrenalin rush is over with N97. I would rather wait for N98 with a 10 Mega Pixel???

You are true about the fact that al the manufacturers are using touch-screens on their device. And its true that they cannot compete with the iphone on that. But they are using touch-screens, because touch-screens hold the future. They are faster when navigating through menus but when typing a text message, nothing can compete with a QWERTY keyboard. The N97 might be a "copy" of the iphone, as it has touch-screen as well, but i exceeds the iphone BY FAR on ALL other fronts.
