*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

This is exactly what it's like.

To further illustrate what I mentioned about the actual size of this device, check out this link and put in your monitor size:

With that in mind, try to imagine the keyboard from all the images you've seen fit on half the footprint of the device from that site. The result is very small keys.

Steve from AAS updated the Q&A with another keyboard question.



It's certainly a far cry from the 70+ wpm I used to rock out on my N95's.
 
Motorola V3 Razr is more known and als marketed as V3 in Asia, but more known and marketed as Razr in America.

I tend to think Americans are generally not that good in processing numbers but better in recogonizing names.
 
I preordered it at 9:50 last night, not just now. I called just to confirm that it was ordered and the price wouldn't go up or be cancelled.
 
For me right now Ovi satisfies my need for wireless sync/backup of:
Contacts
Tasks
Calendar
Notes - from home Outlook [barely use it any longer due to syncing of tasks annoying coming back EVEN after I delete them].
Email
And photos & videos.

Like yourself I don't like my eggs in one basket but for now I must.
I have a gmail account but I refuse to sync its contact list with my real used contacts - because I dont' want names from company's I've sought jobs from that never panned out or from email spammers that got through googles spam list. Google's Calendar seems alright but i haven't even activated one yet - is there a way to get my Calendar from Outlook '03 [pop3] to sync with it??

In regards to photos & videos from my current or previous phones - all of which are on my PC HDD - I've been fustrated with trying to get access to my old flickr account since after it was purchased. REALLY pissing me off; and no tech support to call into and SPEAK to someone since the online merge with your email address thingy is JUNK-BUNK!
 
I dont understand why Nokia didnt make the N97 a capacitive phone like the iphone or G1. :confused: Whats good about resistive touch besides being able to use stylus?
 
Not the N810 - but another Internet Tablet based on Maemo+ARM11/8/9 cpu's+phone capabilities?+Ubuntu Mobile Edition (SWEET!)!!

But Nokia has been rumored to been ramping up orders for parts and has plans for more touchscreen 5th edition devices to roll-out across the 2009 Calendar. I got a funny feeling that N97 is not the TRUE flagship its crowned to be (a la N96='08 flagship, while N85 beats it in every respect).
 
I know and mostly agree with you - but you cannot deny the N97 pretty much delivering what many here have expected.



Hold that fustration for a bit longer - at least after the E90's evolution, hopefully a true Revolution - as the Xperia was to the previous SE P-series. These two have been direct competitors for ages.



Now what I'd truely love to see is the E90 revolution with new inbuilt (or 3rd party) software. I'd like touch innovation beyond what the 5800 & N97 offer but with a stylus & software so that 'hand-written' signatures can be implemented & encrypted into emails, office documents - and bring out that highly requested pharmicist sofware & other doctorate software - so that specific prescriptions (USA has a HUGE market for subscriptions alone) can be ordered. If software can securely encrypt - to the point that all/any screenshot software cannot copy it THEN we'll see something like this in the future. Heck if a man 8yrs ago can apply & sign for divorce and be legal in Pakistan and send electronically via email on a Palm m500 to his wife; it says something about how technology is not improving, enhancing, or empowering our lives in the western world.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT HAS FLASHLITE 3.0! MEANING NO FLASH 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO VEOH or HULU :(

Nokia, please upgrade to Flashlite 3.1 pronto, Adobe released it to OEM's in april.
 
This is the first video that actually showed(to me at least) how poorly designed the removal of the battery cover is. The way its taken off looks like its more of a disassembly process, not a simple "push a button and take off" maneuver. I can see many normal owners not knowing how to do this or even feel comfortable doing it.

Bad move.
 
Then I am personally at a loss as to what Gwapz is talking about. The only other device that comes to mind is the N810.

Darn! Just when I started to have second thoughts about that N97.
