*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

Hopefully it'll fall just under $1000 =S.

Exactly what happens to me. Not really a mystery of any kind.

There are technical issues with technologically complex devices like these phones.

You can choose not to understand it or learn it, but that should not preclude others from talking about it. It is important to people like me. The non-technical issues like "ooooh it's in black too!" honestly bore me to death. Just skip what you don't understand or are interested in.

You seemed confused when I said "HTML, CSS, Javascript" earlier. Perhaps is was a joke....?

fyi,

Nope. You can't upgrade the OS like that.

No one was clamoring for a privacy screen before this and e-mail was available on Active Standby in other Nokias. I won't even touch all the users of Windows Mobile, who also aren't clamoring for a privacy option either.



Oh really ? In what way ?

It seems to have the same functionality as the iPhone app, except that it doesn't have Facebook chat built in. It seems to have the same functionality as the MS app, except that you can't upload videos. It seems to have the same functionality as the BB app, except that because it is Touch, it isn't as convoluted as the BB app.

I can confirm that the coupon negates the other discounts. It no longer is an additional savings (as of 20 min ago).

Fortunately the lack of carrier billing isn't a huge loss as long as Nokia can either remember your credit card information or tie it to your Ovi account.

I forgot N-Gage even existed after I got my E71 until recently. I won a free N-Gage activation code from The Guru so I guess that's incentive enough to check it out on the N97. It looks the same as I remember it on my N95 tho, I wonder if my Gamer Tag still works?

$200 for the 5800 is a VERY attractive price.

Ha Ha, thanks for confirming that it really does happen. Sometimes I question myself too.

It can't really be that bad.


But anyway I think it shows that the screen itself is sensitive enough, but their software really is that bad. I bet you could round up a handful of senior engineering students from nearly any major university in the world and get a better implementation.
