*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

Just placed the pre-order on Amazon. Ill wait and see which one comes first(also on Nokia pre-order) and then ship back the more expensive one.
 
Yah i was playing around with it but got annoyed with some of the functionality.

The video that was posted on youtube from the last page, the OS looked a little slow at times. My bet is that it's an older video.
 
The N85 (5 MP) or N86 (8 MP) might be a better fit for you. It "only" has a 1200mAh battery but the OLED screen is much more efficient. ...if a nicer camera is your top priority that is.

On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with getting the N97 and not using the widgets. It's your money, your phone; use it however you want.
 
In that case, it will send the text if you are composing a SMS. Saves you 2 screen taps which is nice.

In the browser: nothing.


While testing this I noticed that FW 21 seems to have disabled the ability to direct change your tab from outbox to drafts to Inbox etc. So you must go back and then select your messaging category. Always pleasant surprises with this device.

But I will admit double tap sensitivity has definitely improved, where before you could do it too fast and confuse it, now it responds correctly consistently. In a little bit they can take the training wheels off maybe.
 
Heres another quick impression as Im making the switch, its more plasticky than I thought it was. Compared to the E71x its VERY light. Not saying that its bad, just something I noticed.

Also had to get the instructions out to figure out how to get the battery cover off. Its one of those that feels like its going to break because you just pop it off.
 
No 3g is like the ultimate deal breaker for me. there's 3g everywhere in LA. Hell even t mobile has 3g consistently in LA. I'll never use EDGE again.
 
I'm hoping that N97 will be no where near 5800 XM's performance and TS capability. And now that I'm used to iPhone's screen, N97's going to have to be even more (I have no doubt it wont impress).

Any new N97 links to drool over in the mean time?
 
Not saying the Iphone doesn't have it's faults....just that if one of the main selling pts of the N97 is the keyboard, than Nokia failed at that.
 
I guess Blazzz has some sort of special edition that not even Nokia has lol

Probably news to them. Hey Blazzz, how about you send your device to Nokia so they can fix all of ours?
 
and for those wondering pretty much every phone store in the GTA should have the phone by tomorrow, he also told me that the major shipment of this device to toronto was wednesday with the exception of a few coming in early
 
You can add 2 of the same thing but only for certain widgets. I know that you can add 2 widgets that have shortcuts to 4 applications. I believe that you could also add 2 widgets for favorite contacts. I'm firing up the SDK now, I'll tell u shortly
 
Those just wanna try to rip people off. I was at the one in near the SOny Store and there was one guy tried to sell me the 5800XM Euro version for 700$+ tax just 2 months ago and while I was there, there is that one guy who wanted to unlock his iPhone 3G. He just gave the seller the phone to the seller so he can verify which version it was. He didn't even have time to ask how much it was that the seller gave the phone to the technician and told him to unlock it. Then he said to the guy that they will do it for 50$+ tax. The customer then told him to give the phone back because he can have it unlocked for 30$. The seller didn't want to give the phone back and told him that they will do it for 40$ and asked him to comeback in 30 minutes. What a bunch of morons.
