Nokia Touch Is So Bad

[oldschool90er]

hi.

[p0mp1tt0]

Love it,and when you hack it you won't have any problems ;d I love mine,and with the silicone case it's the ninja phone i always wanted ;d

[lilwoodsie1]

i have to say this is the best phone i have ever owned and is better then the iphone 3gen whitch i also own its is also good beacuse if you like touch phones and full keyboard this phone has both i strongly think you should buy this phone :D

[AshtonCDs]

@lilwoodsie1 i have the phone and its awesome at first , but later it starts to lag and stuff :|

[Twixx32]

Hey i have a question !

I wanted to buy a N97 but i heard it has a very bad operating system . Have any changes been made to the N97 mini ? Is it any better ? Please respond , thank you.

[97Sohaib]

@Twixx32 They both run Symbian S60 5th Edition

[Xenarax]

I've own quite a few phones and I'd have to say this phone is the worst I've had. It hangs so frequently and lags all the time. Surfing the web and watching videos on it is a torture.

[thelegendkiller226]

This is the worst phone you could possibly buy. i have one and i hate it with an almighty passion. after 6 months the keypad buttons become unresponsive when you try to text. the screen and loadup times are extreamly slow and laggy. to anyone thinking of buying this phone please save yourself the heartache and the frustration of waiting to get out of your 24 month contract and get an iphone.

[conmlord]

is this a smart phne and can it be used on verizon?

[97Sohaib]

@conmlord It's a dumb phne and it can be used on horizon :P

[bilal007ization]

@ xzaxx capacitive is smooth to use and in resistive we have press the screen

[mpg756]

android is the best!

[xzaxx]

is the kapasitive screen better or resistive?

[NhjSnts]

I love nokia simply because they have the best loudspeakers . :)

[Dysfunctional1017]

Great info. That helped a lot. I was thinking of buying Nokia N97 but the mini version seems better and it also a bit cheaper so I guess this is more reasonable.

[142098lasha]

I will by this!



[bboiflex1982]

I have Nokia N97 Mini... I have taken lots of quality pictures using the Carl Zeiss Lens, but if you store too many, you won't be able to view your photos and it will tell you to close other apps. Closed apps and uninstalled a couple but still no luck. But transferring pictures to computer did the trick. Very very annoying! When typing notes and text, lags but then catches up to what your typing. thumbs up please so that people can read this.

[MarozasLT1]

cool,phone really like it :)

[CIRCUSCLOWNLIKE]

I love nokias tho man they are easyer to use and hardley never brakedown non like iphones and stuff im getting this phone dilivered to me today ad i have small hands so itll be easyer for me to use YAY :) XD i only trust nokias soz!! :)

[tnChelsea]

Probably one of the worst phones I've had to date.

[megalegokid90]

If I need to see a video review, I always look for a phonearena one. I love this phone and it is never left behind. It is the best phone I have EVER had!!!!

[adrian112233444]

This is THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!! I love it!!

[mw2fangood]

my name is a boraaat

[greensoilder]

i heard that slide mechanism becomes loose after 1 month!!!!!!!! is it true.........

[sahibyaar]

@greensoilder no dear I don't think that its true

because I am using N 97 mini for about 14 months but it still slide mechanism still work perfect. :)

[sahibyaar]

@sahibyaar but sometime it over heats o__O

[mattunited100]

[computer2computer]

[HYD134]

[lalalala49177]

[Keira090]

@lalalala49177 yup

[SuperJakey24]

I'm getting one for christmas and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

[MiCh0RoCkS]

Such a good review :D

[lingling0432219507]

i have a n97 mini and i hate the bastard its the slowest most stupidest phone ever. It will turn off itself every time i try to go on the internet . it over heats. none of the apps wrk for more then 3 minutes and it corrupts all the music when u try to delete it. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lynxhasbigholybawls]

@lingling0432219507 i agree... ITS VERY SLOWand IT OVER HEATS!

i have a n97 mini.. and i hate it.. the only reason why i bought it is because it has 5mp carl zeiss..

i wanna go back to my n95 TT_TT

[yantzen07]

@lynxhasbigholybawls n95 is a legend...lol

[MrDexter9i3]

Does it have multi touch?

[charitha95]

holy shit home screen is auto rotate !!!! i thought it was manual , cool phone!!!!!

[Manfa95]

Nokia n97 mini or C6???

[omgtoms]

@Manfa95 yeah i cant decide either :D go for n97 i think i will do it cuz 1thing is c6=2gb memory card n97=8gb internal and its a bit cooler

[Gecataaa94]

no i wont vist the phone arena, and yh the phone is good and cheap, i might get it

[XpersiansX]

OH YEA!! he has TUPAC + Everlast on his phone in his music list...Respect 2 that.

[VicariousPSC]

This man has the nicest voice, ever.

[NikiLmao96]

c6 is better

[whackyronu]

Iove the N97 mini, I phone for me is not better.

[carbonamigo]

what ????? e75 is not better than n97!!!

[MrJesus666]

i find with my n97mini that is craps it self if i open up a aplication every now and then. meaning the touch screen wont work, the image wont go landscape, the keys wont work. turning the screen off doesn't work and you can't turn it off. so you have to take the battery out and then put it back in.. but when it's not crapping it self (which happens more then i'd like it too) it's a great phone

[jkes88]

i used this phone and it sucks. Iphone or any android phone for that matter pisses all over this. the touch screen alone is a turn off

[panokset]

Nokia beats iphone

[MrDkik]

@panokset Easy

[planton45]

hmmm should i get this or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro?

[zhertec]

@planton45 Get the N97 mini it's better. :)

[guitarmanaddi]

Hai

[WELLdoneEEYOOP]

Help me...

this or the htc wildfire?

[thomaspaulmancini]

i think its shit,, it keeps freezing and the touch screen is non existant. iv had to take it back 3 times now

[whackyronu]

@thomaspaulmancini with new software its not freezing at all.

[Silencer423]

does this phone work with verizon

[stinkstef]

Microsoft sam, you cant do a review.

Go back into the computer!

And worry about other things than a Good phone!

[vigank5]

Can I use the front camera in skype aswell or only in a video call? If anyone could help me i'd be more than thank full.

[zouheiro112]

@vigank5 you can use the front camera for video calling using '' fring '' an app availaible in the ovi store

[fanjeffhardy]

MAN YOU make every fucking phone look bad with your stupid revievws , i was gunna buy the x6 u made it sound like cheap shit and now your doing the same for this crap

[bloobear90]

i have this phone ;)

[spyro228]

[sammmiii13]

i think its a great phone, you make out like its a horrible phone.

[kjellis345]

[Wahhabihunter]

nokia is going backwards

[Destiny1998712]

[venomofevil]

[jocelyn2905]

[hpslr722]

[BDJstudios1]

dude nokia n97 is the best (l)

[Arionuska]

i really like this phone  but i dont know if i should get this or the Sony ericsson vivaz pro

[raz2daking]

@Arionuska LOL i had the same problem aswell, but at the end i orderd the N97 because people say they are alot better. should be in my hands bytime tomoz

[reviewthis1]

@raz2daking how u get the n97 cause i can only find the n97 mini, btw i have the iphone 4 and love it but want the n97 cause of the sliding mechnism ;)

[zwimipo]

lol 0:50

[kofnerpindo]

N97 mini seems to be done by a beginner:

it's slow like hell 4 seconds for starting a sms

when turning on, the agenda misses the alarms that occurred when the phone is off, white keys letters are invisible in mid light, impossible to add a phone no. from phone book to a sms, ok key is sometimes top left, sometimes bottom right or left I go crazy, no chronometer, no smileys in sms editor, who cares about games and music if it's not efficient as a phone

[valentinomilikic]

This guy hates nokia,wtf about the x6,his accent is not the only thing that is wired

[kofnerpindo]

slow like hell, full of bugs, the few things that you need are very poor

[BloodyFlam]

do you need a data plan wit dis phone?

[eemuska]

I Like This Phone :D This Phone Is Nice

[hoddie100]

n97 is better than mini.their is a big difference in ram and colour....

[zouheiro112]

@hoddie100 the nokia n97 mni has the same ram of the nokia n97 adn the white coulor is now available for the mini check gsm arena.com

[akhilrocksdbz]

Megan fox Lolllllllllll

[Acerzeon]

is E72 better than N97/mini?  I heard it spoils easily.. True? o.o

[Vanhalegenda]

Which one I should buy:

Nokia N97 mini

Sony ericsson U10i Aino

Please answer! :)

[VarisMC]

@Vanhalegenda i only trust nokia's simply because they are solid.

[babyshirhanlicious]

@Vanhalegenda i think the nokia n97 mini ^_^ dependz on which one u lyk n which one iz cheaper :D x

[MayganHopeMC]

i didnt listen anything that he had to say... was too busy being mesmorised by the accent :)

[saltyballsthe3rd]

@MayganHopeMC same here

[J47F]

you have bill gates on ur contacts.....wow

[Vanhalegenda]

@J47F

I think it's because of his job, but still it's pretty cool to have Bill Gates in contacts. :D

[xzaxx]

the keys suck. they are to small. the keys from n97 is better why is people dont like the keys of n97??? they are much better and easier than mini

[yudiputay]

@xzaxx If your talking about the QWERTY keys they BOTH have the same exact size minus the D-pad.

[glowingstarlights]

i've had this fone for about 5 months now (i got the white one) and it was worse than i thought..

- the fone freezes on me all the time

- the reception sucks (it cuts or has completely no bars for no reason, n its pretty frequent too)

- the camera is pretty good

- the battery life really really sucks! it can only last for less than 12 hrs and all I do is text and check on facebook from time to time

- it actually is slow

- texting isnt so convenient because the texts arent in conversation style

[bizzy1225]

it's shit

this sucks very very much

[hencotv]

and 10) the keyboard, is sooooooo bad. The buttons at first seem great, after a while you never master it!

[hencotv]

I have had one for 4 months now:

1) Its very slow compared to other phones

2) Rubbish music player and music shop. Good sound quality though.

3) Multi-tasking seems pointless as its does'nt feel fast enough to make it a user experience.

4) Reception is not as good as other nokia models

5) Email app ok. Just ok.

6) Some of the buttons on forwarding or replying to messages are confusing and it is frustrating when you hit the wrong one.

7) Camera rubbish.

8) battery life very good.

9) GPD excellent

[wa2wi]

love it

[fischtza]

this phone is more reliable, more user frenly.. its a great phone tho... get yourself this phone then you will see the difference... Peace no war

[fischtza]

this phone is more relaible tho.needs to get it on the 1st place then comment.. Peace!!

[SchneiderKreuznach]

OMG he's got Megan Fox's number XD

[newsbarelyhere]

idd prefer steve jobs number haha

[MrDerekH]

@newsbarelyhere seriously?

[MrDerekH]

@newsbarelyhere seriously?

[newsbarelyhere]

yesss

[KrazyHyperness]

how do you get this phone? does it matter what network you have??? i really want this phone & i have tmobile, but i might be switching to verizon.

[jonel5555]

if it is slow then update the firmware...that always resolved all the problems...like my E51, it always have a problem but after an update, it's user interface improved..

[LovableHobo]

how do you do that? o.O

[BetCohen]

hey guys do u guys think this is better than LG NEW CHOCOLATE BL40?

[dansker23]

hmm what should i get this or the iphone 3gs

[j0ddi]

i have the same dilemma

[nyippee]

i have this phone. it looks nice n neat, but its VERY SLOW in loading. also there's always an error

[ionutzymihg]

wtf... slow? I have the phone to and in comparison to iphone AND ipod the n97 mini loads much faster... so don´t come out with that crap!!

[CheerDotComJLS]

im getting this phone in white :)

[nyippee]

really, i think the cherry black looks better

[CheerDotComJLS]

@nyippee i prefer white

[Tupeutlatesla]

too expensive for a mobile

[CMITRomanP]

Turn your Nokia N97 into safe with Black & White Guard!

[DaSoulTaker35]

dose the camra have auto foces?

[Klevfors]

yes

[marrius1993]

Wha program do you use for converting movies ?

[hoiyeeanita]

just search on google

[marrius1993]

I searched but i want to see the converted video on the entire screen and i couldn t do it with any converter i tried(except the PC suite one which makes inly 320 x 240)

[MUHAMMADHASANKHAN1]

To Convert Formats The Best thing for free I have seen is Any Video Converter. Search this on google and you will find it.

[DJ9000DEVIL]

the only thing is better in n97 is the 32 GB featue!

[palmtree2k8]

getting this phone in white:D.

[hoiyeeanita]

me too.. hoping to :)

[karedward]

@palmtree2k8 is the white already launch around the world?

[DJ9000DEVIL]

@karedward

yes

[djcrazy941026]

dude i hate the end of this review cmon man its a review and u said at the end u can buy another cellphone like the omnia hd motorola droid etc... the n97 its a good device for me i dont know what are u looking for a device but if its not iphone it does not have a good review oh and by the way the n900 is really tha best now ive seen alot but alot of reviews and comments and tops of smartphones and they all say the n900 is a beast and u gave a 8.7 to n900 no man for you n900 doesnt even exist

[TheIcyFire99]

i wouldnt say that the n900 is better than this. both of the n97's are better to use a phone than n900

[Skarup77]

My new coming mobile looks cool

[08robertb]

is this bigger or smaller compared to a 5800

[purmser]

a little bit bigger compared to a 5800

[lukittaja]

It is smaller. You can go to Nokia's website to check the specs or just google

[MRlaith]

does the 5800 have kinetic scrolling like this one.. after an update?

[karedward]

yes, it has..

[MRlaith]

Nice! then i'm getting the 5800 =D

[palmtree2k8]

@MRlaith no dont !, dont wait for the nokia x6 xD

[karedward]

@palmtree2k8 expensive!

[karedward]

@MRlaith do you already get it?

[MRlaith]

nope i'm getting the iphone 3gs instead unlocked version for 300euro :)

mainly for the apps

[leo10111994]

@MRlaith whaaat?

where are u getting it for so cheap man ? :PP

the price for a 3gs 32gb in sweden is like 950 euros (an unlocked one) fuuucking expansive :OO

[Cartz61]

I love this N97 mini,it's so sexy compared to iPhone and the rest + the QWERTY keys are a die for experience compared to the rest also.Thums up for me for this Nokia.

[damiaking]

s60 is no good for touchscreen that as the n97 problem and this phone too

[karedward]

so, whay satio idou use symbiam?5800?

[reaper02]

still thinking of of which to choose.. n97 or the mini?.. or even 5800 comes in the picture for such lower price..

[MySpaceKing713]

The Motorola Droid or Motorola Cliq

[karedward]

for me, the motorola cliq..

[inmedx]

Don't choose either, go with the N900.

[karedward]

if you want, you can wait for the nokia x6, the one without free download on nokia music store. it will be more cheaper.

[MySpaceKing713]

Doesn't look that good. Sounds like they got one of those Microsoft voices to do the review.

[noneedforusernames]

i agree

[jaspehh]

second!
