but im really torn if i should get this phone over the iphone 3gs (and or wait for a better version of n97 or the n900)...
one thing that keeps me from wanting an iphone 3gs is its lack of video calling and low megapixel camera, but other than that its great from apps to conductive touch screen...
while the n97 i like because of the videocall, media files BUT thing i hate is the receptive touch screen, feels old, and its symbian and laggy
and which mobile phone accepts xvid???? noen of them... and the ones that have 3rd party apps like vlc player for the iphone it doesent play the videos very well it lags very badly it s better just converting them to mp4
you have only to pay for it if you want to use the speaking navigation than you have to pay different options of using like 7 days 9.99$ or 12 Months... only this costs!!
Great review! The best review of a phone I've ever seen on You Tube. Only one thing missing: show the cables and all the stuff that comes w the phone in the box. Keep up the great work!
Darn this review was the coolest and most in-depth so far I've ever seen on the N97. Very nice.. I'll be forced to subscribe to your vids and have already rated this a high-five stars...
please keep up the great work!!! Helps us who want's to purchase new devices.
The OEM stereo headphones are garbage. Once you lose them for a good aftermarket pair, the sound quality is amazing for a phone. And it's got a custom equalizer that Apple refuses to give people on any of their devices or even ipods. Hey, how did the N97 handle the MP4 video format, what's the best format to conver to, and what did you use to convert the videos to the correct formats?
The phone is not bad but the apple freaks think everything that doesn't work or look like the iphone sucks even though they complain about new phones having multitouch lol
But i've used it and never had a problem and it's solid :) feels like a phone it's a little heavier then the e71 :) but the phone just needs some creative minds to add some impressive content to the ovistore
If you take pictures in very low light where the leds are the brightest light, it will give you a flash washout on the left side of the picture....sucks!!!
Fantastic review, you are are a really good reviewer and entertaining to listen to, when I watch other reviews I'm normally bored within a few minutes but not with your reviews
Great review, good sense of humor, too. I have one question for you if you have a couple of minutes to spare... I'm a system administrator who has quite a number of mailboxes and needs to access a number of things like servers via SSH and IRC servers with IRC clients and so forth. I've deduced the Nokia N97 with its Symbian OS would probably be the best for the above, but would you argue differently? Your opinion would be much appreciated.
Man awesome review, I watched a few others then decided to buy this phone after playing around with it at my Carphone Warehouse but if I had have seen this review before I bought it it would have convinced me 100%!! Thanks =)
Thats FUCKED UP about the limitations with video format, I mean its one of the newest phones available and so highly priced at 700 bucks, what was Nokia thinking?
So... everyone thought of what to do with the massive 32gb storage?? I wanted to put a lot of videos in it but guess im gonna have to convert them all...
Thanks!! One of the best reviews I've seen so far, not just concentrating on the so-called-superiority of the Iphone, which many other reviews have done :(
I'll be changing into a new phone soonish, this is nr. 1 at the moment, although the coming Samsung Omnia Pro sounds also tempting, have to wait for some reviews from that, wasn't it coming in now July? Anyone?
A positive review of the N97 :O why I have yet to see such a thing with the likes on Gizmodo, Engadget and others gives it thumbs down. Great review, I found it very informative and entertaining. My dad has the N97 and I agree with your final points about the phone with the great sliding mechanism and nice qwerty and about the looks of S60 but if Satio's UI can be put on the N97 it's a winning combo. I'll be looking forward to more reviews from you in the future.
I think i might need to... Although this one has sentimental value. Got it from Rockefeller Center after i wen't to see Conan O'brien on my trip to Nyc.

I'm a system administrator who has quite a number of mailboxes and needs to access a number of things like servers via SSH and IRC servers with IRC clients and so forth. I've deduced the Nokia N97 with its Symbian OS would probably be the best for the above, but would you argue differently? Your opinion would be much appreciated.
