And one more thing: on the camera lens cover it says: Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.4 ... And i noticed on my N95 8GB its 2.8/5.6. Whats that for?

All to do with how wide angle the lens is? Wouldn't worry about it.

[NeDamoKosovo00]

Ah okay, thanks. What can i do about the software update?

[stevelitchfield]

Ask the same question in the AAS forums! You need to break the problem down and get detailed answers, i think. It sounds totally messed up!

I had a look at the Omnia HD and N97, to be honest they all fall short in one way or the other. The HTC Hero looks interesting but is in desperate need of a faster CPU and a better screen. Shame there isnt a phone with the Omnia HD screen and Arm A8 cpu with the E90 keyboard running HTC's version of Android.

Ah yes, the mythical perfect device!!! 8-)

Hey steve, im having some problems with my n97. I cant update the software. I was able to download the ngage, ovi contacts, bla bla. But cant do the phone update. It starts "processing" and then stops. For a month now.... I downloaded the software update on my PC but it doesnt see the phone in pc suite mode.... and neither does my normal pc suite program.... Or the pc suite program that i downloaded from nokia beta labs. Works fine in mass storage mode though

The Samsungs HD's 8MP camera has nothing on the Nokia. Dont underestimate any 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. As far as the 32GB goes. Im happy to have it. A few divx files (once a decent decoder becomes available)' a bunch of Mp3's and its gone. This is just like a little laptop and almost as good as my Sony Cybershot DSC T1. do you honestly believe with such a nice camera & video recorder one would not use that up? Bit of advice; try shooting without the flash.

I have 1 comment for this world. In review they will be saying that the iPhone 3GS is 3.5G which is faster then 3G and nokia n97 can't support that but in a review in the top left corner of the n97 being reviewed itsaid 3.5G so it just really depends on your os. BTW I am not a hater of either okia or apple.... ok maybe apple...lolz
