 Senninha I completely agree with you on all your points especially about giving the operating system a chance. Symbian can be confusing & challenging first time & even more so difficult with a touch screen version. I myself prefer Symbian to WM & these days am used to it but not tried the touch screen ones yet. I agree people need patience & people tend to think everything is going to be simple & easy. Its a mini computer in many ways & will crash in early production & like you say its now better

Its just like the N95. Started off with loads of issues, but with every update got better and better, it even got new features, more RAM, longer battery life etc. . .and is now still one of the best Multimedia smartphones, even leaving the SE W995 in its dust in a lot of things. Im sure N97 will be the same, theres already another update on the way that will be adding more features and improving stability.

Well i expect the hardware side to cause the return. I'm glad N97 hinge didn't had any issues, i was very pessimistic about the quality of this little thing. well for software issues nokia used to encounter lots of problem during the early days of S60 v3, but they managed to sort them out later at least. despite their lack of innovation in User experience, nokia pays alot of attention into software quality so this issue won't last for so long imo. at least N97 wasn't as bad as the first N95

Does make you think why dont manufacturers do more thorough testing before release. But from experience and also more so recently i think Nokia have improved in reliability overall. |

since then, i have learned how to manage the device
That one sentence pretty much sums up everything that's wrong with a phone like the N97 (you can apply it to most Symbian phones, and certainly all Windows Mobile phones). The whole idea of a smartphone is that it helps you to manage your life - the point where you end up spending any significant amount of your time managing the device is the point at which that device has failed entirely.

true, i did spend a bit of time learning how to maage it and tweaking it in the first couple of weeks. but after that, it barely takes up any of my time at all. it is not a perfect device, but then there is no such thing as a perfect device. |

The timeless, standard excuse for every bad device - "nothing's perfect."
It's true, because perfection rarely exists in any consumer product, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't expect - and get - more from such a premium phone.

Impossible! Why, you'd have to travel back an entire 3 days to find me praising the "good work" by SE on the Pureness - http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=189130#post2786924
Or a whole 2.5 weeks to find me describing the N900 as an "an interesting phone - very much an N97 done right" - http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=188695#post2777331
Here's a challenge - see if you can find a post from me in the last two weeks praising the iPhone?
