*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

Designed the N93 and N93i too :)

Seems that the n97 is running on ARM 11, that's same that N95 had, but on a higher clock speed if we believe Forum Nokia. Seems to show compared to 5800 especially on the gallery where "swiping" those pictures is just as smooth as on iphone, same goes to web browsing(thought on the video she was running pretty light wepage) and those menu speeds should get faster by the time it gets released.

Someone asked that can you get the starting screen empty. I believe you can of course take all the icons out of it, but you can also swipe the screen to make the screen empty and swipe again to get icons back.
 
To keep the ship date in perspective, that article says the Euro version is shipping to two countries on that date. That also means it's the date it goes out, not when it arrives. Nokia started shipping the N95 on March 22nd of 2007 and the flagship stores didn't have them until April 4th, and that was with a much wider distribution to a lot more countries. We're also all waiting for the NAM version, which will ship weeks after the Euro N97 becomes available. Very late June/early July is still the best case scenario for real NAM availability.

And just because the wholesale price is below $600 certainly does NOT mean a retailer will sell it for less than $600. Everyone has markup they're not going to mark them up $1.
 
Can also report him with the little exclamation mark in the top right corner. Mods get enough complaints, they should hopefully take the appropriate action. Constructive cricticism is one thing. Trolling a thread entirely something else.
 
I had the HP 2215 and it had a nice loose digitizer layer. AFAIK two things need to touch to get a response.

The resistive solutions have a film: http://www.pgtechnologiesinc.com/resistive_touch_screens_specifications.htm

All the "all-glass" screens are capacitive: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/...9U5230GE3E02LECFTDQG0U7_assetId=1180610295095

Sure they can hard coat that film, but it ain't "all-glass" unless some Nokia rep pulled that out of their ***. Which is the sort of thing they need to do to keep the hype up. Can't really blame them.


EDIT: Here's a bunch of reading. Bottomline you need a flexible film to do resistive. So unless some genius at Nokia invented flexible glass it was a big lie.

Really? I thought it had the whole home screen integration like the N86 8MP. Hmmm. Installing it was the hardest part for me. JP and Rcadden both had to help me get it installed on my E71
 
Wikipedia says it is a :
"32bit Freescale MXC300-30 ARM11 600 MHz"

When you google this MX thing you find this link

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MXC300-30&nodeId=01m6cyDbFf

Which is a little heavy with tech words and is confusing to me cuz it says it is a single core but then it says:

"The single core processor at the heart of the MXC300-30 combines a StarCore? SC140e Digital Signal Processor (DSP) operating at up to 250 MHz and an ARM1136? applications processor core operating at up to 532 MHz."


You can see the 1136 processor at this link

UMPC portal says taken from paragraph "Unless its an ARM11 MPCore device clocked up high, I don?t think we?re looking at a big-change in browser performance with the N97 over other Nokia phones which, for me, isn?t good enough to get the device on my personal ?wanted? list."

You know you send too many text messages and mobile emails when you can write words on a phone dialpad that doesn't have letters. I installed an a word hunt game on my E71 a while back that didn't support QWERTY (which is why I uninstalled it after a while) and I was still blazing through it typing T9 without the letters on each number key LOL
 
Nokia currently has 40% of the total global cell phone market share. I could be wrong, but I think that their market share will increase even more with their introduction of more touchscreen cell phones. What do you think? And what type of impact do you think that this will have towards Apple and the iPhone? I doubt that Apple will ever even get close to having 40% of the global market share selling their iPhone. What do you think?

And YES, you are right. I read somewhere that Nokia has more touch screen phones which are supposed to be coming out into the marketplace sometime in the fall of 2009.
 
I guess this a nice phone. Considering the competition the delay to release date though it's very underwhelming. I'd classify myself as a Nokia fanboi, and I'd STILL consider an iphone rather than waiting until June of next year for the privilege of paying, what, $1000CDN for this phone? Sorry Nokia, you've done a kinda nice job, but this isn't going to draw me in.

Jonty,

E90 evolution:
5MP+AF Dual LED flash
Triband 3G HSPA (7.2Mbps) in both trims (1800/1900/2100 or 850/1900/2100Mhz)
33% Thinner closed total body,
20% Thinner lid
40% stronger build quality
60% larger external display OLED possibly?
(maybe a dash of Touchscreen inner display? but not sought after)
1500-1800Mhz battery
NGage compatible

Man you'd be happy as a Goat in heat with these specs. ;) I'm already there with the N97.
 
If you don't mind low quality camera, non existent home screen and no multitasking (and that you need to jailbreak it to be able to customize it and do some more powerful things), then iPhone 3G can be good for you, I have it and I like it but many times I feel some hate for it because of those "small gripes" :disappoin
