Rubbish

3 Jan 2010 Alana

5.7 out of 10

What a load of rubbish. Phone is big and bulky and is difficult to use with one hand. Phone crashed so many times and most times the alarm didn't go off so I was late for work! Nokia N97 Mini is so much better it's a lot smaller, sleeker and the software has been updated so it doesn't crash.

Pros

Qwety keyboard, camera

Cons

bulky, alarm clock (doesn't work), battery life

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE NOKIA N97

2 Dec 2009 John H

6 out of 10

I bought the N97 two days ago after what I thought would be a great phone after reading many positive reviews, but my personal experience was very different. The N97 turned out to be a nightmare and I suffered it twice freezing, needing to hard reset it twice and eventually losing the wi-fi connection on it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND buying the N97, I had great respect for Nokia before, but not anymore, they don't even bother to place on their website or operating manual how to hard reset the N97, which I suppose needs to be done when the phone freezes. Or am I just very unlucky???? In any case, this is not the phone for me, and I advise prospective buyers to see other options first, or suffer the consequences.

Pros

-Stylish
- Very light

Cons

- Very unreliable
- Freezes
- Hard reset unfreezes (eventually), but at price of losing apps and settings, being stressed and most valuable of all: Time.

amazing phone try it you will love its design screen

but lack of ram multi tasking likee n900

Great phone. Can be set up as a social networking device or a powerful business tool. Flip out keyboard is amazing, plus you can still write text in the old standard number keypad form. Lots of memory, lots of options. Build quality is superb

Pros

all

Cons

no
