Horrible reviews for a decent phone

Edited: Jun 30, 2009, 2:39 PM

Phone owned for

I've been using an N97 for a couple of months, and yeah, it's not much of an upgrade from the N95 than I had, except that the memory is doubled and there's an SD card slot. Still, I loved the N95 and I love the N96. The phone has frozen twice, but I it was with the same game each time, so... an issue with the app.
I couldn't detect any slowness except for opening large apps.
Giving a "1" as a review is strangely bitter. It seem like hate against Nokia rather than real product reviews. I'm a little biased toward higher review numbers, but I basically only use the 97 for pictures, calls, and checking (not writing) email.

N96 big let down

this phone is junk. it's not better than the N95 and it's slow. it lacks video acceleration. video recording is slow and choppy sometimes. the speakers aren't that loud. the reception the phones gets is poor. the battery dies really fast.
