Poor Mans N97 on the way

[quote]The nokia N97 hasn’t be out that long yet there has been lots of talk of a new version that is smaller and to fix the lens cover in place so won’t move so it can’t scratch the lens. The origins come from an Irish vodafone forum which is where I had my doubts because I spent most of my life in Ireland and they are in no way the capital of new phones in fact its more of the place to go if you want three year old new phone. However now it appears that pictures have been leaked that show the extent of the difference’s. There is no official comment from nokia about the name of this phone and its spec but a there is a bit of speculation about this phone and many people are saying it only has 3.2mp camera and stuff like that but none of this is confirmed. There is a chance that these images are fake but its highly unlikely due to the detail so we could have a new N97 soon, as far as a name some people have called it the “poor mans N97â€

now all the N97 people lost all their uniqueness

Yuh guh see rell ppl running around with mini n97's

ent thats the fake one like what selling in misc for 1400?

no it's legit.

They removing the d pad, reducing the size and specs and selling it as a middle class phone....something the original n97 should have been marketed and priced at in the first place.

rumour has it that the phone will lack Ngage support, have a 3mp camera, smaller HD, or maybe no HD at all.

I love my N97, this phone is WIN.

The mini N97 is going to be nokias solution to tap into the Apple iphone market share. Having more than one SKU seems to be a trend.

Im all for it though. Seeing that most reviewers (especially the apple cocksuckerz) want to mark down the phone because its price.

imma wait till next year to see what comes out.. i real like the E72, so its gonna be between that and the n97

I hated apple before the 3gs (still don't like it that much because it can't multitask)

But in all seriousness I agree the n97 is overpriced. Compare it to the 5800..You paying US$300 extra for a qwerty, slightly bigger screen and 32 gigs internal memory.

That's about it...

lol doe forget d widgets...

btw you all dont find the 5800 a bit wierd to use the touch seems awkward at times and my word, typing a sms msg is beyond difficult.

Touch is a little better on the n97.

Both are way behind apple in terms of touch though.

yeah d widgets are cool, but because of them, the n97 only has 42 MB of spare RAM after bootup.

Just got mine

this phone is 10lbs of WIN

Anyone with a WHITE N97 how's that holding up against dirt etc

^^^

he Nokia N97 is set to receive a major firmware update that will available in October, bringing the backbone to version 2.0 and making notable improvements, a Nokia spokesperson says.

The company has managed to pare down the firmware, freeing up internal storage space while still managing to pack in a handful of new features. Kinetic scrolling has been added for long list navigation, along with new maps, performance improvements, and general bug fixes. There's new widgets available and long-pressing the keyboard brings up alternative characters. The music player has also been updated with more album art and information.

The exact availability date of the firmware update has not yet been announced.

about effin time

fuh real

biggest complaint so far is fingerprints

no finger prints on my Zagg invisible shield.

where u get urs?

camera is a big step up from the e71

Raptizzle has full body protection for like 200 i think

but you only really need top protection imho. The full body is kind of overkill seeing that the back is black matt

agreed...and its chunky enough as it is...
Screen protector should do the trick

any tips on where to get themes?

i so hate you


check zedge.net for themes

how the e71 working out?

look dok mek meh buss yuh head with it eh.....


it cool...but i bored already....
if zedge don't work out the symbian forum has for sure

how the interface looking like it was made in Corel Draw??

because Apples OS is smoke in the mirrors. If only there was an ap for a Camera Flash.

Apple: Yesterdays Technology. Today.

and a larger ccd for the camera..

1sigh

Yesterday's technology at double the price of TODAY's Technology

But they really polish this sh1t and wrap it in a nice pretty package.

Anyone check out speed touch lite for n97
damn addictive

High Score 302

I asked nothing about the iPhone LOL

...

i asked, why the interface looks like its made in Corel Draw, thats all
it definitely needs a theme, cause the GUI looks dated.


(and to be honest - cause i know you coming back with a set of Apple and iphone talk etc, I have not upgraded from the 3G to the 3GS cause i am waiting on a GSM Palm Pre - which i think is better than the N97, G1's and BB's etc)

Bezman, this not directed at you, but just reading some stuff on gsmarena (wasnt there a while now)
