If you’re unfortunate enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N97, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It’s also useful if you’re also unfortunate enough to have to send away your [...]
In this video, the Nokia designers explain how the homescreen, as we have seen on the Nokia N97, has come about. 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 of [...]
This application is a must have for anyone who travels frequently (or at all) on a train. Whenever I needed to travel by train, I used to go to www.thetrainline.com. You can access it from your S60 browser directly or you can choose the mobile version, m.thetrainline.com, which is more economic on the data and [...]
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 [...]
Here’s another look at the MyPhone application, this time updated to version 2.11. MyPhone v2.11 is compatible both with S60 3rd and 5th edition handsets, turning your compatible phone into an iphone-esque gadget. Take a look at these two videos of MyPhone v2.10 on the Nokia 5800 You’ll get that plus the updates with v2.11, [...]
Over at mobilbladet, they’ve got some absolutely drool-worthy photos of the black Nokia N97. I’m really smitten with the black option, and I hope the rumors aren’t true that O2 have got the white N97 exclusive in the UK (I don’t want to move to Vodafone!); It looks discreet It looks professional It looks expensive [...]
Last Thursday, I went to London for an interesting trip to the Cinema, and was told that Nokia have scattered 7 “N’s” around the UK. Over the next few days, clues will be provided to search for Ns. The first of these has just arrived at my door. My housemate just gave me a random [...]
Now the N97 is by no way a Camera oriented device; not in today’s standards anyway (Grrr, Nokia!!) but 5MP Carl Zeiss isn’t too shabby at all. Below are some image samples said to have been taken by the N97. I say “said” as it looks astonishingly good compared to previous photo samples we’ve seen [...]
If you’ve been following the Nokia N97, then the video below won’t tell you anything new about it. However, it’s still nice to watch, and certainly made me want to get the N97 (Black) even more now. Click HD for extra shiny goodness. They seem to love playing with the slide mechanism of the N97. [...]
Ah, the trickling of N97 reviews begins. Not long now till there’s a flood of them. This one is by Cnet Asia’s Geeknomics blog . Some key points from the review Seamless experience just like PC and Laptop Resistive touch is not the same experience as iPhone’s capacitive screen. iPhone is literally just a touch [...]
Lester Chan attended the N97 Blogger Preview in Singapore yesterday and has brought back some pictures and videos. One thing I thought worth noting again is the keyboard of the black N97, specifically the backlighting of the keys. Eldar mentioned the white N97 will have white backlit keys and the black N97 will have orange. [...]
Here’s another Nokia N97 review, this time by mobile.mail.ru. The full review is very detailed, with plenty of live pictures, sample photos and screenshots. So if you’ve got some time and want to know how the N97 is getting along, it’s a really good read. Here’s the original Russian version; the google translator version and [...]
In an interview about a couple of weeks back at the Nokia Developer Summit, David Rivas – Nokia VP, discussed the Nokia’s strategy for having multiple software platforms – basically stating that different devices need different OS for different tasks – not one OS fits the bill. The three major OS used by nokia are [...]
The N97 is coming to O2-UK not directly through O2 stores but via Carphone Warehouse, apparently perhaps so as “not to irk Apple with a direct iPhone competitor”. There’s one price mentioned, “Free phone, but £45 per month contract”. That’s not too bad considering iPhone is still £44.05 per month for the premium 16GB version. [...]
The Time Machine app for the Nokia 5800 is both a stop watch and a countdown timer. When the countdown reaches zero, an alarm sounds. Pretty useful if you’re cooking something or as a parking meter alert. Yeah, you can use the general alarm clock but it’s easier to put in “n” minutes countdown and [...]
These are two video samples taken by the Nokia N97. Now, they’re not in HD but it’s the very best VGA (I think anyways) yet in camera phones. At least if it sticks to Nseries standard, you’ll know you’ll get excellent frame rate, stellar audio and the reliance that it will work very well in [...]
Exaggerations aside, this latest video of the Nokia N97 – it looks really fast. It’s not in English but you don’t really need to hear what’s being said to appreciate the speed of the N97 here. Note the video is in HD, but since the camera cannot focus up close, it’s blurry throughout the video. [...]
Here’s the official Nokia N97 demo site. Note though flash heavy. Worth noting are: two official colour availabilities: White & Transition Black Nokia N97 is available for preorder in Germany, Italy, Sweden and USAFrom the official Nseries Blog:N97 Pre-Order Members Club “Pre-ordering will guarantee you are one of the first to receive the new N97. [...]
Ah, another video, with N-quatre-vingt-dix-sept, demonstrated by Julien Fourgeaud. We’ve seen Julien demo the N97 plenty of times, and he knows the N97 more or less back to front, specifically the key strengths of this device. Make sure you click the “HD” button to get some appreciation for the detail on the N97 screen. Demo [...]
Today I picked up a little package sent from Hong Kong. It was a couple of Fake dummy N97; one black one white. Why? Well, I wanted the N97 so badly, this was the only of getting little fix without spending too much on actual N97 clones. This is really a toy version – not [...]
Here’s the Nokia N97 being demoed at the developer summit. Here it is again, if you so wish, at another angle. There’s nothing to be gained from either video except the noticing the gradual growth of the N97′s UI. I still hate the wasteful menu of S60 5th edition – at least for phones with [...]
