4 out of 5 stars Overall a good phone   March 6, 2010
Bill (Sunnyvale, CA United States)
Since I already had an existing AT&T phone, I wanted to get a new phone without the need to sign new contract or upgrade the existing one. I first checked the IPhone, but they don't sell it unlocked.

So I found this Nokia phone and decided to try it out, I have been using it for a month now and overall it is good phone, but does have some drawbacks, here are the cons and pros:

Pros:
1- Nice and sleek design, although not true VGA screen, it is decent
2- Keyboard is very soft and easy to use.
3- OS is stable (so far), I used to have Windows phone and it drove me crazy, I had to reboot daily!! This one is waaaaay better.
4- Lot of applications in Nokia's OVI store.
5- Has support for Exchange server to sync business email and calendar, and it works perfectly, even with better interface than Windows phones.
6- Support 3G (for AT&T), sometimes it shows 3.5G, not sure if it means faster than 3G, and I really don't feel it is faster than 3G.
7- The lens quality is excellent with impressive 5MP.

Cons:
1- No "real" headset, this is my biggest disappointment, the headset works only for the ear speakers, but no microphone support, you have to use the phone microphone, and if I try to use the IPhone type headsets, the speakers will start buzzing..
2- When using the Speaker option, the microphone is very bad, many people complained my voice is cracking when I use the speaker option.
3- The phone screen is not a real touch technology like the IPhone, it is more pressure technology, so sometimes I need to put little pressure when using it.
4- Battery needs to be charged daily, especially when using Bluetooth or GPS.
5- When installing the Exchange Mail app, it requires a locking password, but it does not ask the user for the password, because the phone comes with a pre-saved one (12345), and no where in docs or user guides or Nokia site provides this default password, it drove me nuts until I found it!!!
6- I used Jawbone bluetooth and it works fine, until the Jawbone start run out of battery, and then the phone start act strange, calls gets disconnected or dropped, busy or no Network signal show up, etc.

Overall it is a good phone, the UI is easy to use and takes short time to learn, it can be a strong competitor for IPhone if they fix the basic cons..



4 out of 5 stars Good but not excellent   March 3, 2010
Jhonatan Pérez (Venezuela)
Nice phone, but not the best. Negative points:

* Touch screen not as good as an iphone.
* I got a white screen of death after one week using it.
* Not on screen qwerty.
* Adobe pdf on trial version.
* Short talk time battery.



1 out of 5 stars Never Again Nokia! wish I could give it zero stars!   February 24, 2010

I went through 2 of these defective phones before I got the 3rd here. Even this one was buggy and would consistently drop calls, freeze up for an inordinate amount of time when responding to a simple txt. I am an IT professional and didn't have much installed on the phone and always installed the latest firmware. I have had Nokia phones all my life and my 1st smart phone was the N95 8GB. After my experience with Nokia's latest smartphone and worthless OVI store I am officially done with Nokia unless they get their act together. I just got a Nexus One and it is blazing fast and opens anything by the time you have your finger off the screen. Nexus One BEST PHONE EVER! Don't waste your time with this POS!


4 out of 5 stars Nice Smartphone - with a caveat   February 18, 2010

I really like my N97 with it's background app capabilities to totally trumps the iPhone. Not to mention basic things like flash on the camera. The camera takes pretty good pictures and video for a phone and the new free voice navigation on Ovi maps is nice. There's a problem, though - it seems to have a problem with being turned off and on - randomly it will just not turn on until you've either reset it to factory conditions or go through many iterations of trying to get it to turn on (using the different methods suggested in several different forums - definitely not a problem isolated to my own phone.)

The Ovi store has a lot of catching up to do with iPhone store, too - but there are a decent number of fun apps (many free). But you can also run many free Symbian apps and Java apps on it and transfer of data is a breeze (it just looks like a drive to the computer).

Some people don't like the resistive touch screen - but I find it just as easy to use as the capacitive on the iPhone. I just use my fingernails to tap and it works flawlessly.

I'm doing comparisons to the iPhone because my husband has one through work and he hates it...



1 out of 5 stars Business & student potential WiFi N97 users - read this first   February 17, 2010
HDDGURU (Minneapolis, MN)
If you are thinking about using the N97's built-in WiFi for net access through a corporate or university network, you might want to check if your company or university uses EAP-TTLS/PAP for WiFi authentication/security. If they do, there's a good chance this and other Nokia phones won't work with it. Despite three years of protests on Nokia's corporate website and online petitions, Nokia has failed to add support for this common security to their smartphones. Google EAP-TTLS PAP for more info.
