i think this guy must be being paid by nokia for this unabashed advertisement of their product. i've had an N97 now for 6 weeks, and it is the MOST unwieldy thing to call itself a phone to use that i've owned in 10 years. luckily i didn't have to pay for it!!! the camera IS great though.
Had this phone. Had all kinds of problems with it ALL THE TIME, so I returned it 4 times to the shop and they "fixed" it, but the fifth time I changed to an iPhone. Real glad I did...
Please Update your Review - with Version 2.0 there is the same good KINETIC TOUCH and much more very usefull updates, which make it better then the 3Gs...
I have had MANY smartphones since 1999 and the nokia n97 keyboard is THE WORST keyboard to date. The software is laggy at best and its touch screen is not very responsive. Great for a 79.99 price tag but not worth more than that. This review is extremely biased. The email is a pain to setup and the camera is moderate. Sorry nokia, keep trying.
i have iphone 3gs and recently bought nokia n95 for my wife. Iphone is much better and faster , its just better........(at least for typing, email, exchange, voice control, sms, internet)
I can vouch for that. I have had the n95 and n97. I recently bought an iphone 3GS for my wife and I and the iphone by far is better. Symbian needs to update already.
although i do love this phone (and will be getting it) this review is wayyy to biased. there are some bad things and some good things with this phone. and i've heard people who don't like the keyboard, i wouldn't say its the best keyboard, but its certainly different. I can't wait to get the phone :D
wow if some one needs a buisness type phone and speacially facebook users then u have to buy n97 and if u r music and fun lovers then 5800 is the best nokia rock man i phone sucks who will buy an i phone if every thing like i phone is available in nokia for very low pricces compared to i phone..........
from my point.. Nokia N97 is much better than the iphone.. and if any1 else out there think different.. don't say JACK SHIT TO ME .. or i will find yo ass nd kill yuu muda fucka!!
@febthemule1 dude, i made that comment one year ago. when i was immature. of course i didn't mean what i said lol. well i think the n97 is shit now as well so i disagree with myself too. 10 downing street? okay. okay. stop dreaming for a second and come back to reality. k thanks.
nokia needs to come out better than this...REALLY......ANDROID JUST CAME OUT AND I CAN BET YOU, ANDROID IS BETTER SO FAR......APPLE IS DEFINITELY BETTER WITH THE GRAPHICAL POWER AND APP STORE...nokia has flash player and 5mp camera what else?....oh!, it also cost $699 cos no carrier carries it helloooo????? nokia also fumbled with the resistive touch screen they need to step up to CAPACITIVE!!!!
I agree that nokia ''nokia needs to come out better than this'' but Apple sucks !!!! Iphone cant make videos ! 2mp camera .. yeh it has the accelerometer .. AND ??? It doesnt have even a flash ?! WTF ... People needs something better ....
but i must be honest with you.....iphone camera is not 10 mega pixel, but one can always have a camera on the side for better pics, no matter how big the screen is on any device, at the end of the day, it's still a cell phone...i don't use at&t...so i don't have iphone...the phone i want is touch pro 2 with windows and it's capale of playing iphone like games, 3.2 mega pixel camera and 3.6 inches of wide screen and it can also play flash with the free download of skyfire..any site will play.
apple phone sucks dude n guess what for every f*** think u hav to sinc it wd itunes thats sucks... but in nokia u can get anything from frnz while ur walking ur in office what ever .....n97 is the best ......trust me iphone suckxxxxxx i use them both :P
no its the best looking nokia your seen! The iphone is best looking because its just a screen... its thin, strong... NOT A BRICK... no fiddling with pull out old school keyboards.. WTF.. and oh that camera on this phone is really going to compare to my Canon SX1 ... The iphone owns because of the apps! Ovi is so pathetic.. ( My friend has a N97 i played with it.. too much BS. Nokia are trying to make a little laptop with this N97 but its not working...
It's all a matter of taste of course, personally I really like the looks of this phone. And of course the camera on this phone is not going to compare to a real camara... But that's not what phone camaras are meant for... they are just meant to take descent looking pictures wherever you go without having to take a bigsize camera with you all the time.
how can u say android isnt that good open source better software than pre. the pre is having major problems iphone cant multitask or anything look up htc hero rom thats android in like a few months and its still good now its also getting flash in october so yup
whoever says thi phone sux ... my mum used this phone for 2 years,then she gave it to me =D its still in good condition =P
