Things are looking good for the N97 with the new firmware update to V11.0.021

Advertisements In a few hours, it will be 1st July 09, the release of the new N97 firmware: V11.0.021. Teo, from Symbian-Freak, has found the changelog via serie-n.it, which at first glance for me looks great, as I’ve unfortunately encountered the bugs that required such fixes: USB detection error fix PC does not detect N97 […]

TheReviveDone takes a look at the Nokia N97’s browser and compares it with the iPhone 3GS’ over WiFi. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9HmJgPRbW0] I’ve been using the N97 on the go, predominantly over O2’s 3G and I’m moderately pleased with the browser. Flash hasn’t been too stable at the moment, with youtube forcing the browser to crash (less of […]

Video: 10 minute hands on with the Sony Ericsson Satio

Generation The Phone House, has a 10 minute video looking at the Sony Ericsson Satio – one of the three major S60 5th Edition handsets of 2009, competing with Samsungs i8910 and Nokia’s N97. It’s interesting to note the differences both Samsung and Sony Ericsson have done to, perhaps, improving the S60 interface – e.g. […]

Nokia to make Android Netbook for 2010?

Nokia to make Android Netbook for 2010?

| June 27, 2009 | 6 Replies

Here’s me thinking that Nokia would be too stubborn and stick with just Symbian or Linux for their netbook OS, but it seems Nokia’s venturing out and dipping their toes into Google Android (though, powered by ARM and not Intel). As a fail-safe, Nokia’s collaboration with Intel will see an alternative non-Android netbook. Although it […]

Nokia N97 only £320 pay as you go, on 3

Nokia N97 only £320 pay as you go, on 3

For the perceived shortcomings of the N97, it really needed some aggressive price points to make it an attractive option for consumers. We’re seeing pretty good deals so far with pay monthly, but Network, 3, seems to have an even better offer on PAYG. Whilst £320 isn’t pocket change, it is a brilliant step forward […]

This was just to test the startup time of the N97 (RM-505) on: V10.0.009, 12-05-2009 V10.0.012, 15-05-2009 From pressing the button and getting the vibrate buzz to switching to the visible homescreen it’s about 28 seconds (and that’s pretty much the same over 3 repeats, on both firmware).

[Sidenote: This test was done with pre-release early edition firmware V10.0.009, and not the “final” firmware V10.0.012] Just before we went to see “The Hangover”, we went to the pub for a quick drink. Here were three shots I took with the N97 and the N82 in your average moderate/low lighting pub. Preferably, for a […]

Just came back after watching “The Hangover” to find out that Michael Jackson has died of a heart attack. Man…that dude was like my childhood hero. R.I.P. My friend found out over the phone as we left screen 7. I was trying to google it on the N97 to check in hope it was a […]

I know you guys have seen a million of these before, but here’s my unboxing of the Nokia N97 (white one) from WOMWorld (Thanks Donna and Cally!).
