*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

Assuming this post was for me, I TRIED to cancel. And yes I pre-ordered at the glitch price.

I'm going to call back tomorrow. Once the pre-order is finally canceled, I'm waving bye-bye to S60/Symbian for a couple of years. Still gonna lurk this forum once in a while though.
 
You got that right! I'm not gonna show my "girls" off for nothing. :p I really think I could increase the sale of the N97 if I did a review and video. :D
 
Little wordy..but thanks for the take on all that. I suppose one needs to recognize what is actually used/needed on a frequent daily basis and put that widget up front..
 
I hope this comes out in a decent time frame. I'm more than happy to give up my BB and come back to Nokia for this phone.

When everyone was speculating about new touch screen phones, this is EXACTLY what I wanted someone to come out with. It's small, sleek, functional....sexy.

I want one now.
 
Looks has nothing to do with processors, people are just using the good looks of the phone to compensate for the not so powerful processor.

... it's like... A hot chick with no brain. Still good and very much desired. :2thumbs:

Yea, I agree I can't understand why Nokia didn't up the processor a little more. A lot of the newer low & mid tier devices like XM and new E-Series phones are having 600Mhz.
 
I have seen several shots of Joikuspot on the n97, but the icon is gold as opposed to the white, black and red icon for Joikuspot Light. In other words, does the n97 come preloaded with Joikuspot Premium?
 
Holy crap that phone looks amazing! Too bad it's probably going to be 80 billion dollars when it finally drops here in the states (I'm assuming it will?) - either way, I'll wait until the prices drop a little or folks start listing them on craigslist or it's on amazon and consider picking one up eventually.

I'll have a hard time giving up my Bold so I think it would be a play phone for me, but still...that phone looks AMAZINGLY sweet! Man...I can't wait to be able to see one of those bad boys at a Nokia store. Did they say when they'd be in stores or how much, or do I not even want to know the price? haha
 
Most of those beefs aren't against N97, they're against S60. Legitimate complaints or no, they're not really on topic... The hardware gripes, yeah, but the S60 gripes, no.
 
Here's the email I received today from BLT:

well if its too late to change the cpu.
nokia have obviously stuffed up haven't they?

why aren't we getting 3d? all we needed from nokia is a little push, and they could have started 3d gaming.
 
Nice, I always liked black phones the best.
You know we don't hear much talk about the slider hinge quality. It's got to be innovative as there is none like it. Anybody worried about how it will hold up after a few thousand uses? Not that most of us keep any phone that long.
 
No you are misunderstanding. The scroll bar appears only after you have started to scroll (rather drag the page), then once it appears it actually gives you no control over anything. In fact it only appears - for what? Nothing. It responds to nothing, it is only there for show. If it in fact did respond I wouldn't mind it.


EDIT: Sorry I thought you meant the browser. In the menus the scroll bar does work. In fact on menus it is ever present and a pain in the ***.

Those stupid ****s haven't yet considered reworking the menus to eliminate their **** scrolling in menus. You really need a stylus. Anyone who says otherwise are lying to you because the video right there is proof.


Also there is no flick except in the browser and even for that they made such a big deal. This is no iPhone interface. You will suffer through little things like that.

Seriously, go try a 5800 and you'll see.
