*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

@aironeous

Just where have you got that idea from then as the N97 is running S60 V5 and not Symbian foundation at all same as the Samsung i8910HD is and the SE Saito will. Symbian ^2 won't even be released untill sometime near the end of this year and that's what the Symbian Foundation announced in thier own road map. There are no devices commercially available or coming soon running SF yet in fact there aren't even any announced devices.

Connect Your Life
The Nokia N97?s unique tilting 3.5? touch display means you can easily scroll between wall posts, update your status, poke your friends on the move, and use the in-built QWERTY keyboard to write messages directly onto your friend?s Facebook wall with a few simple touches.

And if you want to be kept up to date and in sync with all your friends? movements, why not set up a news feed direct from their Facebook page, straight to your own mobile.

JohnnyBruha, I respect you and you're allowed to post, but you (and sr[insert4numbers]) both are repeatedly putting down this device. May I ask why?

It's running around in circles. The statements and arguments are the same, reworded. If you don't like the phone, you don't. You really can't argue that this IS a good phone. The biggest problem is that it's not a good value. I would dare say that this phone and Nokia's decision to release it as is and at its price point of 699 makes me feel like I am buying an Apple product. I don't feel so bad though, because it's Nokia and that's my fanboy-ism (or, in a more mild term loyalty) showing.

Bringing up iPhone, BB, Android is all fine and dandy, but my first requirement is that the phone is running S60/Symbian. That's why I'm in this forum, after all. Let's not go about explaining why though.

So, I really only have two choices in high-end S60v5; N97 and OmniaHD. In my personal OPINION, they are equal. I do believe the N97 is a bit overpriced, but is that to say people won't buy it? Of course not! However, don't you DARE tell them that they were wrong to purchase it.

OmniaHD is nice. I was on the edge for both; the "deal" on NokiaUSA website made me get the N97. So stop your bickering, both of you, and just let us N97 soon-to-be users discuss what this thread was made for.
 
If it's not an N-series, yeah you could be right. Eitri had a decidedly N-series look to it's specs, but it's more than possible it was just a concept or will get more neutered to 5800'ish specs (specifically losing the 8GB and 5mp down to 3mp).
 
Actually, I'm holding out hope that the ExpressMusic version of the E75 will be released in a NAM version. I'm not holding my breath though... Nokia's just not that smart.
 
87% of the time is not what I expect from a "flagship" that also costs $600 plus. I am willing to bet anyone that the N97 will choke on the same things an N95 chokes on in terms of browsing, and the phone is freaking 2 years old now.
 
I just played with a Euro Touch Diamond 2 last night. It has a resistive screen but it is as responsive and sensitive as a capacitive screen, if not very close.
 
the n97 is suppose to cost ?699.99 . and google says in USD that equals 1,027 dollars?? WTF???? **** that price... im in the US and was gonna order one online when it came out, but not for 1K dollars
 
I am actually more laid back right now than last week, when I was far more eager. I mean still definitely want it ASAP, but feel I can wait right now.

Hopefully the official blog was right and those preordering through Nokia get them right off the line at around the same time they go to the regular distribution chain (and thence to retail)... I'll probably give it a week or even two at the glitch pricing... otherwise, I'm going to be hitting up the local vendors out here or seeing what else is available like amazon, etc.
 
That's part of the reason why I didn't choose the white. I've never had a white phone before, and I know I (or just my OCD.....) would constantly worry about the phone getting dirty after using it for a while.
