*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

Like I said before, I bought my Sony Ericsson K850i at release date (because that was the s#!t back in they days), and ever since I've been waiting for an upgrade... But everytime a new phone gets released, a newer one gets announced... But there's nothing that can compared to the capabilities of this N97. Yes I Want It Now!!!! lol, i've been waiting YEARS to upgrade my phone, many of you probably don't even know the feeling of owning a phone for over 2 years, lol.
 
WM ROM's are more or less built by the OEM. Let's take HTC for example, they are licensing WM and are given an adapt kit. It provides a small code base, low-level and stack drivers. The CE team does dev, then the WM team does dev, then the OEM does dev and pre-cooks the ROM onto the device.

That's how you end up with carrier and/or manufacturer customization and branding.

If HTC wanted to toss capacitive touch screens on their hardware, they would simply have to write a driver for it, which they already have done. The Diamond and TP both have capacitive & multi-touch capable d-pad sections around the navi-wheel.
 
mann... that 70 minutes french review is freaking boring... I'm at 23 minutes and falling asleep... well, i still got another hour to kill at work, so why not...
 
Eldar? "In general, the display is one of the best in its class. On the horizon, only one of the products on Android is AMOLED-display that exceeds the model, it also loses the Samsung i8910 HD"

Hmm it does appear there are possible brightness issues with the screen or just a setting thing? Many of Eldar's comparison pics vs 5800 appear to favor 5800... except for the size.


Notably:

Might just be the way the pics came out. Viewing pics taken from an external camera of a phone display on my computer monitor obviously has alot of variables there.
 
Are you asking if its a problem if a call doesn't go thru because you may be streaming the BBC? I can think of any number of calls that would be a major problem if it doesn't go thru..family emergency, call from that prospect that he accepted your proposal...etc. 3G covg may be spotty but cell coverage is pretty much 100%..i try to remember that it why its called a cellPHONE; as cool as the devices have become they are still phones 1st and foremost.
 
lol, yeah. I've been checking every other day. Right after the order it was In Progress, then went to Backordered until the 17th, then has been In Progress ever since.

Two pre-auths so far. The second just expired.
 
I agree with your point about the carrier first. I see a lot of people around here switching carriers just for a phone. A lot of people went to verizon for the storm.

I don't think that's a wise decision. I would always put the carrier and the quality first.

In my area, I've had verizon, sprint, and at&t. I've had at&t for the past 6 years, did a "trial" with Sprint about a year ago, but didn't cancel at&t, well the sprint phones went back after about 15 days. Verizon, I had for 2 years, and while their voice quality was amazing, their plans were a little more expensive than what cingular/at&t were offering, and I hated how they cripple their phones. (Why can't verizon phones have bluetooth file exchange again? That's so wrong.)

For me, AT&T is the best choice. I've never personally had t-mobile. I've thought about trying them, and I may at some point, but it won't be until they get 3G in our area, which they currently don't have, so right now, AT&T is the best choice money and coverage wise, when that changes, then I'll look elsewhere, but I agree, don't switch for a phone, switch for what the carrier is going to offer you over the longterm.
 
omg!!! I am so happy, the NokiaUSA page up and running only means it's getting closer and closer every day!!! Anyways, I just spoke with a Nokia associate thru their chat and he confirmed that they were told this very morning, the phone is to be shipped within 4 to 5 weeks from today. That would mean beginning of june... (shut up Blaxx :P). And he also confirmed that Nokia currently has no plan of selling the N97 in Canada :(
 
The internet is serious bizznazz. Get out of here with your "humor". What is humor anyways? Sounds like a pizza topping. We don't want none of that! I'm allergic to it anyways, are you trying to kill me?
 
I hope you didn't cancel the preorder price. That'd be a waste.

Not gonna let the naysayers stop me though.
No amount of b*tching, crying, whining or moaning gonna stop me from enjoying the N97.
