*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

[rocklee619]

i doubted a new phone would be annouced. i'm glad something came out. It's a better flagship than the N96. Nothing amazing in the world of phones but it's a big thing for Nokia and the Nokia fanboys.

I'm really glad they put at least triband 3G but still wish it were quadband

Well here the prices do not go down, here the prices actually have gone up.

The E71 is about (US) $475 and the 5800 $435.

The iphone 3G pricetag is $828 and the N97 is set to about the same when released.

That's exactly what I felt like saying! Comparing this phone to the size of the n95 is silly though! they are both bricks.

Order it over the phone for $5 more and get overnight shipping

Looks sharp, but I don't trust Nokia's renderings.

I'm curious about that pedestrian view mode pictured above though. Looks interesting.

fear not, i dont think it will still be a commie if it doesnt have a qwerty...

It's as simple as this: altho I hate to say it..unless the Ovi store mimics what Apple has done with Itunes...nuff said. Iphone's dependapility on Itunes sux but I have to say, the presentation and functionality of Itunes is huge

If liking a keypad that has a spacebar where it's supposed to be makes me a sad case, then by all means, please feel bad for me.

hmm, If this thing was affordable I might get it.. Im just hoping the N86 is stellar!

Just an FYI guys.

Tried cancelling my preorder with Nokia today. They said they cant cancel it and the only way to get my money back is to refuse the shipment. After they receive the phone back it will take around 20 days to refund my money. So with shipping back and forth they will be holding over $700 for a month......or longer.

I have never heard BS like this in my life and I shop online religiously. I am furious and I never expected something like this from Nokia.
