Not as good as I expected February 6, 2010 L.Fang (CA) This is an expensive phone with three major problems for which I gave it a two-star. First, the reception is much weaker comparing to my old phone (Motorola Ming). Once the reception is lost, it could take a minute or more for you to be able to see some signal bars appeared again. Second, the connection is another issue for this cell phone. It gives a lot of "connection error" messages, and I have experienced way more call drops since I changed to this cell phone. Also, the home screen rotates easily from vertical to horizontal, but it doesn't do the same backward. I have to shake the phone with some strength for the home screen rotate back to vertical. Overall, I am very disappointed with Nokia N97, but since I paid a good amount of money for it, I have to stick with it for a while.
Excellent phone! January 25, 2010 Brad May (RUSTON, LA, US) I am very satisfied with this phone. Works great on AT&T 3G & EDGE networks. The Ovi Store is a great app store that allows you to download apps, themes, and other content for your Nokia phone safely. I would not recommend installing any apps that are not through the Ovi Store. I did and ended up having to reset my phone, losing some of the content that came originally on the phone. Great phone, though. Only drawback I have noticed is that depending on how you hold the phone, sometimes your voice comes across muffled to the person you are on the phone with.
Nokia flagship looking dated January 9, 2010 Philip Skeete 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a big Nokia fan and really liked my 5800 and 5530, so I was quite looking forward to playing with the N97. This is a exquisite piece of hardware, the feel of the device is the nicest of any phone I have owned. But the software is really showing its age, even compared to newer, cheaper Nokia phones.
Nokia really are asleep at the wheel, the 5530 shows they can do reasonable job of making a touch phone using S60 but they have let their S60 flagship lag far behind other S60 phones that are less than half the price. I gave both the 5800 navigation edition and the 5530 XpressMusic 5 stars based on the great usability and incredible value, but the wonderful N97 hardware is let down by old software.
Good:
- Wonderful hardware.
- Excellent call quality
- Very extensive feature set.
- Very nice screen in sunlight.
- White color looks great.
- Nice keyboard (except space bar).
- 32GB internal storage.
Bad:
- Home screen lacks scrolling contacts of 5530.
- Inconsistent touch menu (some double, some single tap).
- Very small space bar.
- Mediocre browser.
- Weak FM transmitter (not powerful enough for car use).
- Ovi Maps lack search (you need to have google maps installed too).
- No in-line spell check.
Don't even waste your time comparing this phone to true smartphones like nexusone, droid or iphone 3gs, its just not in that league software wise, only price wise. When you see what google and apple have done so early in the smartphone game, it really is a shame for Nokia. Such great hardware let down by such bad software. And before you say N900, I had one and returned it, maemo shows promise but is far from ready for primetime use and the hardware is a brick.
If you have lots of money, already like Nokia S60 phones and have never used an iphone or droid you should love this phone. Everyone else steer clear of it, looks at the 5800 or 5530 if you wanna go Nokia.
Phone was cool, but could find better. January 4, 2010 N. Nguyen 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The phone is very clean looking and I loved the keyboard and everything. However, the OS of this phone is old-school looking, and I didn't like that I had to use my nail to select things on the phone. I was use to the iPhone where you use your actual finger. The phone does let you use your fingers, but you end up choosing stuff that is above, below, or next to it. They give you an option to buy a stylus, but why do you HAVE to get a stylus to get better performance from the phone?
There were also quite a few buggy problems that I had with the phone, but not serious enough to handicap the phone. This is a nice phone if you don't care about specifics and just need a phone to do basic things on.
The camera I didn't feel was as awesome as they keep advertising. The quality was good enough but that's it. Not a huge WOW factor. Video was the same. Then again it is a phone, not a digital camera. I didn't like how I would turn off the flash of the phone and the light still went off when I took the picture (hard to be discreet).
Overall, I think the phone was okay, had more cons than pros in my opinion.
I like the N97, but I would probably get the N97 mini now December 8, 2009 S. Lee 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Symbian is an acquired taste, if you don't like/not used to s60v5, you won't like it even with 2.0 firmware. 2.0 firmware is what the N97 should have been released with. Given the N97 mini is $50 cheaper and it is 99% of what the N97 is, I would get the mini instead.
