Advertisements 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 […]
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).

I know you guys have seen a million of these before, but here’s my unboxing of the Nokia N97 (white one) from WOMWorld (Thanks Donna and Cally!). It’s probably the worst unboxing you’ve seen but forgive me as I was just so excited to open it up and play around with the N97. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_q1CRhPq-U] (Urgh […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is the next instalment of N97geek’s physical testing of the N97. Now it’s the drop test, where the poor N97 enjoys Newton’s gravity over different surfaces: Grass Gravel Concrete [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGPc70pZQ4] With so much inside that could have gone wrong, Paul reports that the N97 held up brilliantly, the screen did not crack or scratch […]
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. […]
