Video: Nokia N97 vs HTC Touch Pro2

Advertisements The Nokia N97 and the HTC Touch Pro2 are two similar looking devices with very similar array of features. I was very impressed with the spec sheet of the Touch Pro2, and back in April felt that it’s what the N97 should have been, at least in terms of being having a better QWERTY […]

The Nokia N97, if you take the time to get accustomed to it, has a pretty decent physical QWERTY keyboard. However, there are times that I need to use the onscreen alphanumeric keypad, like when I’ve only got one free hand or if I simply just want to text with the phone closed. The latter […]

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 or […]

If we were to somehow rewind one year, and I was asked to think about “what features I would have liked to have seen in a phone that would be sufficient enough to replace the imaging capabilities of the N82 entirely?” Symbian S60 Touch large high resolution screen great camera xenon (true) flash dedicated camera/video […]

Stephen Fry's Review of the Nokia N97 (and also iPhone 3G S) and awfully long rant.

Stephen Fry's Review of the Nokia N97 (and also iPhone 3G S) and awfully long rant.

As a long time Nokia fan, it is disheartening to hear such crushing words about what’s meant to be Nokia’s best ever phone to date. What’s worse is that we all knew what Nokia needed to do, yet for purposes beyond our comprehension (perhaps to cut costs in an attempt to be mass market friendly), […]

BGR and Phone Arena both review the Nokia N97. BGR’s is short, more of a quick summary, whilst Phone Arena’s is laid out over 5 pages. There are some intruiging differences between the two, but both seem to share this growing disappointment from the N97. It seems that whilst the N97 is a great phone […]

I thought I may be swayed into getting the next gen iPhone  given the rumoured specifications, but alas, the upgrades are minor and very disappointing. Apple have, inevitably, upgraded the memory to 32GB – $299 on contract. You also get a bunch of other “new” features such as: Video recording! Since 2003. It is VGA […]

This isn’t directly phone related or something majorly discussed about manufacturers, but it’s an issue we may sometimes face when something goes wrong with our electronic devices. Bad experiences I normally purchase my phones through carphone warehouse, but their customer service, for the 5 or more years I’ve been with them is appalling! One example […]
