*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

[goodlifez]

The phone is going to be so solid that it won't even need firmware updates [/sarcasm]

I'm pretty numb to it as well however, I am pleased that the gap between updates for the E71-1 and the E71-2 have been no longer than 2 weeks or so.

People are saving up bucks to buy the phone after 2-3 months and waiting for a little price drop and you have already ordered two of them. :wow: I can easily trace you down via your IP address and rob you!! :hehehe: or wait outside your house on day of delivery and... LMAO

Laker game is going good! :clapping:

Only thing could make it better is to get an N97 tomorrow. But no update, no new pre-auth, and no charge yet.

Nokia N97 price ?599 (or about $790):

You can remove the data plan if you are no longer using the iPhone. Just the contract remains.

Yea, I believe there are many options you can put on there. In his keynote, he mentioned sports scores, weather, email, contacts (like the tube has), etc. I'm sure there are a lot of things, but he was making it a facebook/myspace since that's all you seem to hear from BB and iPhone type people.

While there has been no official announcement on the NAM version of the N97, lots of speculation says it's coming. And history shows that the N-series devices eventually get a NAM version, although the firmware support is usually lacking.

I'm 30 and still play games (PS3/360/Wii/PSP/DS). So for my cellphone, gaming is a must.

I'm sure when I'm like 50, 60, 70, or 80, or 90 years old I'll still be playing games and will look into devices that offer gaming feature.

:buddies: :buddies:

i dont think i want my n97 on a carrier and having it locked like the n75 on at&t was with their software. i just want tmo 3g and thats it i can pay 600 or 700

 

[rebel yell x)]

Nokia's innovation stopped after N95-1. They are simply copying other manufacters now. Slide out keyboard, touch screen :disappoin

I'm guessing you've never heard of disk partitions. More than likely, they've just tossed a controller and 32GB of flash memory in and it's also physically separate than the ROM/NAND/EEPROM/whatever you want to call it.

 

[Dancegoddess69]

Which batteries will fit in the N97? I like to carry around a charged battery...Does it have its own or share with another Nokia?

 

[bonnie.mcmurray]

Wow that is astonishing, because everybody knows that it is impossible to navigate and use the iphone with only one hand!

 

[gabreiltheangel]

Which headset? I actually replaced my jawbone with the BH-703 that came from Nokia USA. Having the same charger all supplied in the same box has made both very convenient, even if the 703 isn't as loud as I would have hoped.

 

[KCW]

I don't think he's in the US. He did say "for me"

 

[fallingForYou]

Damn, and i thought the Xperia X1 was gonna last me. I'm gonna still have to get it until this comes out.

 

[Colon]

I wish there were a Nokia store around dallas, texas. chicago and New york are both too far of a drive.

 

[nascarfever_88]

I agree...by the time it's out, there will be a lot of new phones that may just make this phone look like last year's news. 4-6 months is a long time in Technology calendar.

The UI looks so good right now that I don't understand why they will wait this long?

 

[kalambre]

LOL. your posts reek of noob.

 

[Kurn]

Awesome March 31st. I wonder when the US will be out and what the pricing will be.
