First Hands on nokia N97 | India

[krates]

^^^ The shop had only dummy but the shop owner got the original live phone from somewhere.. The phone will take 3 more days to come to kanpur

But I used the live unit.. I loved the phone so much I can't tell .. Dual Led has became great...

He quoted the price will be 35k he got it for 37k from somewhere

 

[talwar]

it's one personal preference when it comes to user interface.. both are very different. One is Symbian and the other is Mac osx. Personally, I like the Symbian interface much better. multitasking, personalization is easy. folks at digit geek even feel the same.. that N97 display is much better

[the.kaushik]

Ya all option never works like "Traffic info". But overall nokia map is good and very perfect at least compared to Google map. Also did you tried the compass.. does the map rotates when you rotate your phone?

That link doesn't seem to be working, here it is again. Even I've just updated to the v11 fimrware. The device seems faster and more stable now. Its a must update.

*mobonoid.com/2009/06/new-n97-v11-firmware-is-coming-tomorrow-changelog-is-already-here/

Today i got my hands on the n97...Its a pre sale device which was showcased at a mall here.. Some 6 were displayed and you can actually take them on hand and use.

4) Touch screen same as 5800. No multitouch. Should have been better. (Gave feedback). Also the touch screen was not that effective sometime. There were situation when i tried to slide to the next pic and it didn't worked and need to try several times.

I disagree mate. The touchscreen on the N97 is way better. Its much more responsive and hardly needs much pressure in order to register an input. Sometimes if there is a poor quality screen guard then people face problems, but otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with it.

 

[follower of krazzy]

Firmware Update solve biggest problem and important changes. In the time I've spent with the N97, I've come across many of the bugs. I am looking forward to updating the firmware and really hope to see the performance improvements.
Here some changes that i get with firmware update.

• PC does not detect N97 or USB charging connection not detected.

• Home screen online/offline widget crash fix. Browser fixes to improve widgets stability.

• Device performance deteriorates when lots of content in the device - especially photos

May be. But when i was using gallery it was not swapping images easily.There was time when i need to swap my figures 2 to 3 times to successfully swap. Hopefully be fixed with the new update.
