Nokia N97 US

Crash and close my apps on its own when run out of memory. Often when i want to check photos, it close everything to have photo open. Open websites slowly. can't turn camera sound off. Too expensive for its quality.

good camera picture quality (with good lighting)

Was very happy when i bought it. Later was extremely disappointed with its performance. Never buy this phone even at a steal price. Its such a headache to charge it. The phone has hardware charging issues which wont resolve even with the latest firmware. Even if u repair it, the problems show up again just because it charges off its micro usb port. An individual charging jack is missed & its the biggest design flaw.

It'd be quite interesting what version of the OS all you reviewers had when you made the reviews.I've owned the N95-NAM  for 2 years and got the N97 about a month ago. When I got it, it was on V10.x firmware, and granted it was a little slow. Upgraded to V20. about 2 weeks ago and speed is almost no issue. This phone makes the N95 look like a fat dog, and I loved the N95. The only thing I miss is the media buttons and the shortcut screen from the N95. But those can be easily replaced with widgets on the N97's main screen.The Accelerometer could use a little boost as I think it's not sensitive enough and isn't triggering portrait/landscape mode fast enough.The A-GPS is a good 3 times faster getting to a GPS than the N95. I can also get GPS connection in my house when I couldn't with the N95. Coulds are also no longer an issue.Not sure what the gripe is about the camera. I used to be an amateur photographer and tend to think I know something about photos. Camera has, in my opinion more features than any other phone and takes very good quality photos for a phone and there is only a handful of phone that has a 5m camera as of now (And, no: I don't think the Iphone's camera is anywhere close to this one). Of course can't compare it with any DSLR cameras out there, but can definitely beat quite a few "point'n shoot" digital cameras out there. The only issue I found with that camera is the beveled piece of plastic right next to the flash. That piece reflects the flash back into the frame and over exposes the whole right side of the picture. Careful cutting with a Dremel tool will fix that. Another issue with the camera is its cover: if you don't have it absolutely clean everytime you open/close it, it WILL scratch the protective screen of the objective.And how can someone compare the true widescreen with the puny little N95 screen???As far as getting the "face detection" (review #6). That's the Accelerometer's job. I've never had an issue with it (again: been using it for at least a month).No one's mentioned in any reviews the FM transmitter included in the phone. I don't know of any phone that has that. Tested it in 3 very different cars and had no issues.This is my 2nd full qwerty keyboard phone I've owned. Someone was griping about the small buttons: I'd hate to see you own a Blackberry. Very sensitive and responsive. Using the keyboard in conjunction with the touch screen makes it extremely easy to send text/MMS's. Texting without the keyboard is comparable to using the N95's number pad. The phone is smart enough to know you need T9.Granted there are a few little quirks Nokia could be working on. What phone doesn't? All in all, Worthy of it being called the flagship AND the hype (being all true). Expremely happy customer so far.I my humble opinion, Nokia's shipped too many faulty handsets that would result to those of your who griped about it and I'm hoping thei QA team is fixing that. They don't do that: they will no longer be one of the largest cell phone manufacturers.
