*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

I agree with both of you about RAM (and have already wrote about it), this is my only concern and not the CPU, although 128MB has been enough since they implemented demand paging it would definitely have been better 256MB
 
ARgh, my credit card fraud protection was tripped because Brightpoint/NokiaUSA were entering the wrong expiration. WTF. Got that unfuxored and called Brightpoint. They say they show the right number/expiration in their system but that it got scrambled. Said it would be corrected and that my order is still good but still showing on Backorder.
 
This may not be the board or the thread to discuss this, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you were joking. The iPod was the truly revolutionary device made by Apple.
 
I guess Nokia is expecting us to re-use the one from your previous Nokia device, or run down to Radio Sack...personally I never really used the one that came with my 95
 
Chicago flagship still has the brown prototype and would not turn it on. Had Ovi store on salesman's n85. Proclaimed June 2 release for n97 is a fantasy. Did not convince me really.
 
with the inclusion of a qwerty, this phone still suck. Just look at the spec already, it look just like another n96 to me. Oh well, guess i'm not buying a new phone afterall.
 
Hey, I was the one who wrote to both Engadget and Gizmodo to complain about that. So I know all about that.

The point is that in regular use the iPhone loads pretty much everything faster than any S60. Sure it doesn't load flash but on S60 it just gets me nice little flash ads that increase the loading time by 30-90 seconds.

Mobile Flash is a nice concept, but practically useless without the CPU power to back it up. It was a nice proof of concept that needed extra work to make it actually useful.

So Nokia has it, but doesn't have the power to make it useful. Typical Nokia. Big feature list, but in actual use not very impressive. It was a great tech demo and being first is always nice, but it sort of implies that they would be spearheading the movement to not only include it but to make it fast enough to be practical. The second part is where Nokia continually fails.

I hoped, I was wrong. The rest of the industry may be slower but in general they bring in those features in a way that they are useful and practical.

Gone are the days when I want to brag about how the phone can do this and that, but the actual demo of the tech is slow and useless. I'd rather have something that just does it fast so I don't have to sit and wait minutes for pages to load for bragging rights. Sure I could disable it, but then that takes you right back to where the iPhone is currently at and actually far behind for that matter.

Flash on Nokia is about bragging rights and the ability to post things such as what you just posted.
 
that is just a proto, we are months away from actual final factory version, Nokia can change anything from CPU to display, from the smallest screw... everything and anything in the phone can still be changed, which IMHO it is just too early to discuss the innards of this phone...

although what is known right now is that the TI 2420 CPU that N95, E90 and others that are using is the most powerful CPU that any Nokia production unit sports at the moment and accordingly it can still give more pending further optimization in the software, but then again isnt that always the case?
