*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

the scroll ball thing the G1 and blackberries have could be alright.
really , all i needed was a way to scroll .....

touch is not bad, but with the scroll ball, i dont really need touch. but touch is really nice to have.
 
How come you guys get so excited about temp authorizations?

Nokia Brightpoint does temp authorizations on my almost daily, and removes it. Sometimes it happens two times in one day. Nothing exciting here...
 
I'm torn on whether I like the fade out/fade in effect better or if I'd rather have an animated transition like a screen wipe or the screen zooming out, rotating then zooming back in (ala iPhone). It would be cool as s*** if they let u customize this in the Settings menu. I mean, if they implemented that lil quirk on the standby screen where if you swipe left to hide the widgets, you get an animation and when you swipe right, you don't they can probably make it configurable.
 
Right, but not if you flip the phone open, then it seems it's hit or miss. It's not a bad bug, it's a stupid bug. I'm not the only one seeing it.




Try slashdot.com with the built in browser. It's not a evil site, it's just news for nerds. ( though some people may argue the content is poor and the comments worse, but what can I do :rolleyes: ). I recommend shutting down #2 before you do.




Then today I was out in the barn and my phone started beeping every 30 seconds as the AP news widget was yelling "can't connect to wifi". Which is extra special since yes it lost it's connection to the home wifi. it could use edge or the barn wifi. Just seems it failed usability testing.
 
Theres no way in hell this thing is going to retail for 550?!

more like 700 or 800.

if it does by some chance in hells HELL end up being 550?, i'll dress in drag, and be the first to buy it at the nokia store here in chicago.

I'll do it too, after a few beers. :buddies:
 
Just got done watching the video posted a few pages back and noticed something I hadn't seen before.

Nifty, but it doesn't animate. :(

nUnlock does the same thing and it is animated.

Black looked great in the flagship store thought they didn't have white N97 there(the one i ordered) :( Hopefully i got the right color! I actually had both white and black preordered, but canceled black one couple of days ago :D
 
I just don't see why they put all those features into a Zune but Windows Mobile gets no love when it seems like such a no brainer that they should be developed hand in hand. I'm sure if Windows Mobile 6.5 supported some of these features (especially the Xbox Live integration), it would be a lot more fun. Right now it's just 6.0 with another facelift.
 
I'm a little bit confused here. Will the N97 black and white phones come with 2 different touch screens according to the phone's color? Will the white N97 have a hard plastic touch screen and will the black N97 have a glass touch screen? Why did Nokia build build one color N97 phone with a glass touch screen and the other color N97 phone with a hard plastic touch screen? Which type of touch screen will the N97 really get on final production for retail sale to the public? A hard plastic or a glass touch screen?
 
Wishful thinking that the NAM version will include AWS for T-mo. Yeah i know, I'm dreaming.

Still may look into getting one. Looks real nice so far. Wish the camera was a little better, as T-mobile now has 5 MP cameras in its lineup.
