Advertisements 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 […]

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 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 […]

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!).

Jason from Smashpop.net shows us the MyPhone app on the Nokia N97. We’ve seen the MyPhone application before, turning Nokia 5800s into iPhone-esque wannabes, but here’s a video showing how it would look on your N97.

Nokia 5800 is the Number 1 Pay Monthly phone from Carphone Warehouse

| June 24, 2009 | 6 Replies

The Carphone Warehouse (a.k.a. The Phone House) is “Europe’s largest independent mobile phone retailer, with over 1700 stores”, so it is somewhat, a little bit of an achievement for the 5800 to be the number 1 pay monthly handset, leaving Apple’s iPhone in 2nd and Samsung’s Tocco Ultra in 3rd. From the blurb: “Introducing the […]

This is the next instalment of N97geek’s physical testing of the N97. Now it’s the drop test, where the poor N97 enjoys Newton’s gravity over different surfaces: Grass Gravel Concrete [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGPc70pZQ4] With so much inside that could have gone wrong, Paul reports that the N97 held up brilliantly, the screen did not crack or scratch […]
