Phone owned for less than a year

N97 isn't that bad. Just put a Cooked CFW into it, I personally Like AJ23 S3 V4

IT made it faster, a better gallery, You can install any app / game , Transfer jar and sis files via BT and doesn't give you the reset now and then or blank screen.

I give it a 7 out of 10

Good CV doesn't mean it'll do the job

The phone has a brilliant feature list, and will look very appealing on paper, but when it comes to using it, it can be one of the most frustrating phones made in a long long time. Even after two major firmware overhauls, the operating system is unstable at best and will reset at least once every ten minutes you spend on an internet application. The design isn't terrible, but my personal N97 is looking a little sickly thanks to a few encounters with a wall after just one too many software crashes.As a camera, it's pretty decent, as a music player, it is okay so long as you don't plug it into your car's stereo. As a phone, it is almost entirely useless. messaging is about as functional as the first nokias ever were: it's stable, mostly, but hasn't improved in over 5 years. Sending and receiving calls is a nightmare, if it is forgetting your contacts or not being able cancel out of the call dropped tone so you can get on with your life, this phone will annoy the hell out of you.All in all a poor performance from what was set to be their n95 replacement as the flagship device.

Freezing constantly.
Key lock broke off.
Can't end a call because the screen is blank for at least 15 sec after the call.
You are constantly waitng for the phone to wake-up, maybe it is made for people that think slowly, but for anybody with a bit of motivation in life, this is a frustration.

Don't go near this phone. !!!!
