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).

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 […]

With Engadget receiving pretty much a less than satisfactory experience with the 5800, then the Nokia N97 getting a scathing review over at Boy Genius Report together with some voiced disappointment in blogs and forums over the N97, it was indeed a surprise to read Engadget’s weighty review of the N97 and see it receiving […]

The N97geeks are putting the Nokia N97 through a series of rigorous tests. The first looks at the N97’s ability to withstand scratches – something Nseries hasn’t really been known for with their surprisingly inadequate build quality. However, things are slowly changing; choice of materials are improving and slowly getting to the standard of Eseries. […]
