Advertisements I’ve just got off the phone to Carphone Warehouse Loyalty department. In trying to upgrade to a Nokia N97 , I was told that the stock has been locked. Apparently, many N97s are being bought, but just as many had been sent back. I was told it was a software issue and that’s why […]
The new firmware (V11.0.021) is 6 seconds slower than V10, clocking 34s whereas before, we got 28s. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFIwBtgQIc] However, there are several bug fixes in this firmware which hopefully means we won’t be needing to restart too frequently. The improvements are definitely worth the firmware upgrade (not always the case) The full change log (and […]
The V11.0.021 Firmware is now available for your Nokia N97.I’m in the middle of downloading as I write this. The changelog as discussed is >>here<< Hmm…I have not backed up anything. Though that wasn’t a problem the first time I updated the N97’s firmware. Uh oh. A glitch. Ooops….ok… I didn’t read the instructions and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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).

Nokia and Carl Zeiss have bestowed upon the N86 imaging enhancements beyond just upping the resolution from 5MP to 8MP; wide angle, improved latency, large aperture, better sensor in general all resulting (at least on paper) in improved image quality. As you can see from Rafe’s test, the N86 is superior in all conditions, except […]
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. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C-nv307JdA] Maybe you couldn’t decide between the iPhone 3GS or the N97? Perhaps this is the solution? N97 hardware […]
