Just ordered this phone through an upgrade 3 weeks early as an upgrade
a review from me will be due soon.
Posted by soulframe
Got mine yesterday free T-mobile upgrade from Chitter Chatter (UK)
Quite impressed apart from the lack of HTML email.
I used to have a Tytn 2 and was so used to getting proper HTML email with attachments.
Anyone know if there's any software for recieving HTML email (Yahoo and Hotmail)?
Posted by RayHon
Can i link my hotmail to it?

Try the NOKIA Messaging app, i think it maybe in OVi store.

Apparently this isn't optimised for the N97 yet. It doesnt have HTML support or full touch control yet.
I'm going to try Profimail

Hopefully that will give as close an email experience as what I had on my Vario 3.

Just received black version of phone on vodafone, And theres a few faults.
Well basically if you text Vodafone they give you a text back making sure your texts work. when i do it i get a text after a delay about 10 - 15 minuites after. And a text says from a friend i got it at 9:46 but i actually got the text message at 10:09, And also the weather hardly works it just stays on loading? is there a problem with the phone?

OVerall after the update my phone seems a lot quicker than before and thankfully i can lock and unlock without any problems!!!!
Congrats on your new phone.
BTW are you talking about keypad lock or the network lock?
@RayHon
Did you try to check it with another phone, this seems to be a network problem.

He is talking about keypad lock.
Posted by voda_jon
and in regards to the vodafone version and its faults thats down to V10 firmware. it will just keep saying loading and not update.
V11 has fixed these problems but u just need to wait and keep checking the NSU program for when the update comes out.
Posted by RayHon
Well it seems okay now... The UK are still yet to get an update? mines still stuck on V10 and when i update it says Update not needed.
Posted by voda_jon
its coming out next week so keep yeh eyes peeled!
Posted by RayHon
By the way I've always found it weird that i cant even see who a text is from like my past 3 phones. so i found this freeware

Posted by voda_jon
try spb mobile shell... it adds that feature and many more to the phone! its amazing!
Posted by RayHon
I googled it and it says its not available for Symbian yet and you have to pay

Guys how to find File Manger in N97, I inserted my msd card but how to access it? Anyone
Posted by GUCCI.011
File Manager should be in Tools, otherwise go to your Stand By display,click on the Search: Internet and My Content bar and type in 'file ma' and it should bring it up in the results.
Posted by aasimtom
Thanks Gucci
But don't you think there should have been a straight access to this option. The later one you mentioned I usually do and is a kind of hassle. Any third party soft to do that job?
Posted by GUCCI.011
aasimtom
It makes sense to me since it is a tool, then again ive been an S60 user for almost 2years now so im used to it,but what you can do is take the File Mngr. app and move it to the Root Folder aka the Main Menu, just go to its icon click Options- Move to folder- Root folder, and also set it as a shortcut in the Stand By display.
Do you mean a 3rd party File Manager? Or a 3rd party app to Search? There isnt one for the latter, although 3rd party Taskmanagers such as HandyTaskman allow you to search for any app and set it as a shorcut so that you can easily access it without going through any Menus.

Did anyone try to debrand their N97? What do you guys think about this method I found on google?

Lol, oops! Sorry,i didnt mention that i dont own a N97, thought the Menus were still the same as S60v3.
Posted by SloopJohnB
Are you guys seeing any lags or too many screen redraws? The N97 is a great phone, I'm just worried about its processor. ;/
Posted by aasimtom
^^^ I don't know what do you mean by screen redraws. But during a phone call the screen blinks after every two seconds and if you hold lock button on the left, screen goes off and pressing it again screen turns on but sometimes it doesn't happen and you have to press 2-3 times to make it work, which is not an issue I guess. One thing which I didn't like about N97, is the lack of a virtual keyboard, which could have been a plus and an ease of inputting text. But overall the phone is fast and the screen is responsive, no lags whatsoever up till now (at least with me).

What do you mean by "lack of virtual keyboard" ? It has just the same keyboard as the 5800 xpress if you want to. As soon as you click on a field where you can input text it pops up.
I was also a little bit annoyed at first because the auto rotation of the screen was off by default. (inside phone settings) Now i can tilt the phone and use it without the keyboard if i want. There are many ways of input text.
I updated the phone to v.11 without any problems. Nothing seems to be erased during the process and my contacts, cam pics and so on was still there.
I had some trouble with Map Loader and had to set the phone to mass storage to make it work. I figured that out after some cursing
The cam seems actually quite good for being in a smartphone. It runs fast and everything feels amazing so far.

i used this method and change the firmware to hk version without any problem. This is by far the easiest way to debrand your phone and u can change the firmware back easily!
Posted by Pitzon
Some shots from me, the cam produces quite oversaturated colours and often some yellowish tint but they are sharp so this is no big problem for me to tune them in pc later on.
I think itīs quite comparable with n82 in good light as someone said earlier, the same hard compression of pics are here. The pic size varies but seldom above 1mb. This compared to my c901 who are much better and have less compression.
Good cam for being in a smartphone though, it seems to work quite good indoors in bad light too.
I also tried the GPS and the FM-transmitter today and it worked fantastic, havenīt found any bug yet.

To be more specific, I am talking about full keyboard not alphanumeric.
Posted by intelegent115
I second the that. Virtual keyboard (full querty) shoud be there.. And I do not mean via third party appz but built-in by nokia. You should be able to switch between alphanumerical, full querty and handwriting..
Other than that, i find the phone quite good.
@Pitzon: nice pics..

^^^ Yeah I have no complains either but the kb is not there, only Alphanumeric and Handwriting; that's it.
BTW, does anybody know what's the code for master reset? It doesn't work on 0000.
Posted by lemmy31
Nokias default code is 12345 to master reset
Regards Craig
Posted by aasimtom
^^^ Thanks craig
One more thing. I am a newbie to Nokias and if I master reset, will it wipe out all the data on 32GB memory? I know it will to phone's (separate) memory. The phone actually shows both the memories separate though. So I guess the master reset would only format phones memory not the 32GB one. Right

Whats the speed and screen touch like on this phone? Reason i ask is What Mobile mag did not rate this phone highly at all. They said its slow and screen is not very repsonsive.

No it doesn't, it takes great quality shots. F*** the MP, pretty sure most would prefer a xenon flash.

I have to be honest, i reckon both the 5800 and the N97 have the most responsive resistive touch screens ive used.
Of course they are not as good as the capacitive iphone screen but still very responsive.

I have a black N97 which i purchased from Vodafone. I'm running the update service and its updating as i speak, I'm from UK by the way.

Well, to be honest I have used N97 for over a week now and being a user of Xperia for the last 6 months, i don't feel any change in responsiveness of the screen and the OS is more finger friendly than xperia.
Posted by aasimtom
Sorry for my ignorance guys but I really can't find a way how do I copy SIM contacts to phone in N97? Please someone?
Posted by RayHon
Go to Contacts -> Options -> Copy.
Posted by Bonovox
God knows what What Mobile were talking about then saying its slow and not touch friendly. I seen one of these in Vodafone store its very nice indeed.
