Advertisements According to O2 CPW loyalty department, Carphone Warehouse O2 will not be picking up the Nokia N97 as it has failed all their software tests. I don’t exactly rate the reliability of that source, but apparently this is their latest excuse as to why O2 Carphone Warehouse still hasn’t got the Nokia N97. Additionally, […]

How to: Ultimate calibration method for your Nokia N97's compass (side issue with N97 not getting GPS fix at all)

One of Mark Guim’s readers, RobertH, may have found the best solution for calibrating the Nokia N97. We’ve previously seen the Symbian World guys’ “wrist twist”, allowing compass calibration within 3 seconds.

This tutorial for movie making on the Nokia N97 comes from the Vodafone UK peeps. (Shame Nseries lost video editing function) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaGr7uYHlk] The N97 can capture DVD-like quality video – that’s either 4:3 VGA (640×480) or a more cinematic looking 16:9 nHD (640 x 358) true widescreen. Videos taken by the N97 are really solid […]

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 keyboard, […]

In this video, the Nokia designers explain how the homescreen, as we have seen on the Nokia N97, has come about. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35s7ZLm1go] Initially, I wasn’t sold on the subject when I heard about the homescreen – I thought it was like Nokia’s “active standby” just slightly beefed up. Having used it for over a couple […]
