FYI. I installed 5.00.50 too without the voice navi and everything. And I used the 2 link above to install my voice navigation. I won't give something that is invalid if I haven't try la. Do you mind download and install it first? It won't crash your phone dude.

One of them is base map (Optional)
One more is voice support.

Anyway, just install them both. Don't ask why anymore =.='

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. I'm thinking of getting another phone, perhaps the iPhone 3Gs or the N97 because my wife wants my current iPhone. Can u guys tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of the n97 over the iPhone 3Gs. Price is about the same i think. I'm quite used to using the iphone already.

I've said this a lot of times and I'll say it again.

You cannot compare the Nokia N97 to the iPhone (whatever the series may be), simply because they are different. Phones like the Nokia N97, WinMo or even Android devices are smartphones. They are as close as you can get to a mobile computer.

iPhone, on the other hand, love it or hate it, it's NOT a smartphone. A lot of people might disagree, but how can the iPhone be a smartphone when it doesn't even perform the must fundamental function of a smartphone, which is to multitask?

Nokia N97 is targeted to the tech-savvy masses; whereas the iPhone is for a very niche market - the Apple fanboys. If you love Apple, you'll love the iPhone. If you love tech, you'll love the N97.

I won't tell you the advantages of the N97 over the iPhone because I can go on for another 10 paragraphs, but I can tell you what basic functions the iPhone 3GS does not have that even my 3 year-old N95 can outfunction it:

- No multitasking
- No file transfer over Bluetooth
- No Java support
- No LED for camera
- Which doesn't really matter because the camera is rubbish
- No hactic feedback on the touchscreen
- No proximity sensor
- No shutter key for the camera
- No stereo speakers, only mono
- No file manager
- No DIVX support
- The battery is shit

Stop comparing the iPhone to smartphones already. I think its competitors should be the Samsung Jet and LG Arena.

I'm not saying that the iPhone is inferior, but it's just different. I appreciate all the technology iPhone introduced to the mobile phone market, but drawing comparisons with the flagship device of the N-series is just out of line. N97 (Sedan) vs iPhone 3GS (2-door coupe). It's quite a silly comparison when they target to different users (tech-savvy and fashion-savvy).

totally agree with the statement, its not that iphone isn't a great phone, but honestly, after using it awhile, its nothing special.. the interface is probably nice, and after probably a few years time, u will realise that its quite shitty when u can't change the battery yourself, its like and extra time bomb built in to the phone, u may have to fork out extra cash for it, and it could be a lot.. accessories wise, the price are always jacked up, cause its a premium item? well its not supposed to be, but they made it that way.

i changed from iphone to e71 and now to n97, and am loving the n97, though the occasional glitch and all, but mind you, iphone has it too.

Having the default ring tone issue. I have changed the nokia default ring tone in the General Profile, but still getting the default ring for certain contacts. In the individual contact profile it is pointing to a default ring tone. These default ring tone should follow the setting in the General profile right ? Somehow still getting the nokia default ring tone.

Anyone is having this issue ?
Using firmware v11

1. It's a bug in firmware v10. Upgrade it to v11 and it's solved.
2. Does not happen to me. I can view in both ways.
3. Can be due to many thing, how bad? you dont get a 100% smooth interface. especially if you have the theme turned on. Just switch it off and i find the phone is pretty responsive.

I've said this a lot of times and I'll say it again.

You cannot compare the Nokia N97 to the iPhone (whatever the series may be), simply because they are different. Phones like the Nokia N97, WinMo or even Android devices are smartphones. They are as close as you can get to a mobile computer.

iPhone, on the other hand, love it or hate it, it's NOT a smartphone. A lot of people might disagree, but how can the iPhone be a smartphone when it doesn't even perform the must fundamental function of a smartphone, which is to multitask?

Nokia N97 is targeted to the tech-savvy masses; whereas the iPhone is for a very niche market - the Apple fanboys. If you love Apple, you'll love the iPhone. If you love tech, you'll love the N97.

I won't tell you the advantages of the N97 over the iPhone because I can go on for another 10 paragraphs, but I can tell you what basic functions the iPhone 3GS does not have that even my 3 year-old N95 can outfunction it:

- No multitasking
- No file transfer over Bluetooth
- No Java support
- No LED for camera
- Which doesn't really matter because the camera is rubbish
- No hactic feedback on the touchscreen
- No proximity sensor
- No shutter key for the camera
- No stereo speakers, only mono
- No file manager
- No DIVX support
- The battery is shit

Stop comparing the iPhone to smartphones already. I think its competitors should be the Samsung Jet and LG Arena.

I'm not saying that the iPhone is inferior, but it's just different. I appreciate all the technology iPhone introduced to the mobile phone market, but drawing comparisons with the flagship device of the N-series is just out of line. N97 (Sedan) vs iPhone 3GS (2-door coupe). It's quite a silly comparison when they target to different users (tech-savvy and fashion-savvy).
*
I must say i agreed with all the points above, but i wanted to point out a few opinion and fact that i've seen myself too.
Having big multitasking is a big no, for me, because i'd like to have my GPS, MSN Messenger and web browser open at the same time. Not one after another. However, i've seen it a friend's phone of mine (Iphone 2G) which he apparently h@cked and installed a third party program called "Backgrounder" that allows program to run in the background. So indirectly, multitasking. It runs pretty smoothly though. I wonder why apple doesnt want to natively support multitasking.

Web browsing experience is much better on iphone primariy because they are much smoother, and also the existence of multi touch technology which allow easy zoom/unzooming of a website. However, they will struggle when trying to open a full flash based website, while N97 is having much less trouble dealing with website requiring java and heavy flash content. I have my friend's Iphone 3.0 and my N97 side by side. Accessing the same website (full flash content) but his browser couldn't display anything at all. Mine is displaying everything correctly, but with very minor glitch where certain flash button could not be pressed. Mind you, a N97 can access a full computer version of youtube perfectly where iphone is depending on a special software develop to access youtube since they can't do it directly from the browser.

Also, i believe it's the haptic (i hope you dont mind the spelling correction) feedback you are talking about. However, having a capacitive screen means every button that you touch with your finger is a 100% hit. There won't be any chance for the button press to be miss, therefore there is no need to haptic. The haptic is in a form of mini vibration to let you know that you have indeed pressed a button which is very useful in on a resistive screen where you might accidently place too little pressure on a button and end up not pressing a button u wanted. I have the haptic thingy switched off because i i think it's draining the battery very quickly though. I have no problem pressing those button.

Again, when talking about iphone and n97, tech spec aside, people will tends to compared between its touchscreen technology. Capacitive(iphone) vs Resistive(n97). Initially, when i first use i phone, i must say i love their capacitive screen as i dont have to place any pressure on my finger to press those button on the screen. However, after getting a n97 and using it for a while, i found that i'm liking resistive screen more and more. Why? It's because i have tendency to use my fingernail to press the button since it feels more natural and accurate that way. I also liked the handwriting recognition which again, by using finger nail.

This cannot be achieved with iphone because no matter how hard you press using a nail (or in fact, anything other than your skin), the screen wont register a button press. The only catch is that, you must apply very very small pressure because this is what detected by a resistive screen; pressure.

So, for you guys button press using 1. SKIN ONLY with no pressure needed or 2. ANY MATERIAL including skin but with very slight pressure needed. Which would you choose? Personally i would choose 2 because i use about almost everything to draw on my screen. tongue.gif

Having the default ring tone issue. I have changed the nokia default ring tone in the General Profile, but still getting the default ring for certain contacts. In the individual contact profile it is pointing to a default ring tone. These default ring tone should follow the setting in the General profile right ? Somehow still getting the nokia default ring tone.

Anyone is having this issue ?

guys.. guys... dun always compare wit iPhone... its a totally different class.... its like apple and orange.... taste different and have feels different too.. but its fruits... some like apple some like orange so nothing to compare about...

N97 works great as a sym phone except some stuff i dont like....
iPhone fun part is jsut the capacitive screen thats why its kinda better... but other than that whats there to shout about??? oh the icons are cool... well mac icons mostly looks better than winmo anyways...

in the event nokia were to decide to have capacitive screen instead or resistive i think then we can start talking.... cos iPhone is the first to start this game....


By the way anyone find it hard to use facebook widget?? the arrow thingy too small so cant hit it... everytime try to hit it it hits the right panel...

Got people will buy one. The rich who thinks that the higher the price, the more better the quality is. Some of them don't even do their homework before purchasing phones. I've heard of these kind of people.

I am thinking whether to buy from official Nokia Store or from 3rd party stores. Nokia Store is much safer knowing that it will not try to cheat the consumer. And also I can use 0% installment on my credit card at Nokia Store. However Nokia Store's price will be the most expensive.

Hey guys,

I just bought a white N97. I bought it to replace my Iphone 2G. Here's my experience so far.

(1) The white one is harder to find than the black one
(2) Retail is about RM 2480 in KL area.
(3) Midvalley sold out the white one, Lowyat got fewer white ones than black. Some shops got diffrent prices for the colours with the white one being pricier.
(4) Get the original. I.e check the AVAXX and Nokia sticker. Best bet is to buy at the Nokia store. At that price of 2000 plus you SHOULD buy the original.

(5) Immediately upgrade the software the moment you buy it. The software you got the moment you buy it is rubbish and full of bugs.


N97 MINI PHONE REVIEW

(6) The on board RAM is rubbish, 128 RAM and the moment i wanted to use it it has only about 20 MB left. and i havent even installed anything yet.

(7) The software onboard is a wee bit sluggish.

(8) Personally i think the Iphone interface is better. Its much nicer.

(9) The moment you use the email interface make sure you set in the email settings in the mass memory.

(10) The email exchange is slower than the Iphone email exchange, in the Iphone the moment the email comes in the iphone will immedieately notices it. The N97 has a lag of at least 15 mins. But then again it maybe has to do with my settings.

(11) The Iphone Email Exchange see your sent email even from emails you sent from your office computer. The N97 can only see emails you send from the phone

(12) The Facebook application on the Iphone can post pictures on the wall posts. Havent found such option on the N97.

(13) the cameras in the N97 is sharp. 5Megapixels i tell you.hehehe. Although so far indoor pictures tend to be grainy a bit. Also there's no way to turn off the annoying clicking sound.

(14) I tried to upgrade the QuickOffice but it couldnt. A check with the resellers and they said that currently there is no option to upgrade QuickOffice yet for the N97. Please correct me if im getting the wrong information.

(15) Sometimes the it crashes when browsing . This is rare though.

(16) I love the fact that the N97 can be used as a modem for my laptop with its one touch access program. Now i can connect my laptop to the internet anywhere i go and dont have to rely on starbucks and free wifi only hotel lobby.

(17) Oh how can i forget, IF you buy it and have all the widgets turn on. ie. Emails. Weather. Star reader. The battery will day VERY VERY quickly. Like HALF A DAY OR LESS. This can be tremendously improved by removing THE STAR READER. Bad programming if you ask me. Not the fault of N 97.

(18) I havent found the way to reset/reformat the N97. Help anyone ?

(19) The Ovi Store currently is bollocks. There's less there than Penang Football Association coffers. But then again, maybe because it is still new and apps are still being developed.

(20) QWERTY KEYBOARD !!!. Ok this i have some serious issues with. To write a capital letter you have to press a shift up button first and then the corresponding word. Not user friendly. Here's the main gripe. to insert a number using the qwerty keypad you have to press a button first and after that you press the corresponding number button. DEY !!! what happen to press and hold technique for the numbers !!!!... COME ON NOKIA !!! THIS IS YOUR FLAGSHIP PHONE !!! THIS AINT NOKIA 3210 !!!.

(21) Last ( for now) When you buy the phone, look at the bottom of the phone screen. You will notice that the bottom there the colours are a bit off. It looks like theres some dark smudges at the bottom. This is more apparent with the white one. Theres none of that in the Iphone. Apparently the black spots there is caused by some LED lights not diffusing the colours evenly. I've scoured both Midvalley and Lowyat. All phones black and white seem to have the same problem. The only compensation is to find a phone which seem to have less dark spots and hope it stays that way .

(22) Having said all that, im pretty satisfied with the phone, i like it more than the Iphone ( any of it, 2G,3G,3GS). That says a lot about the Iphone. Even with all the warts the N97 have, the Iphone IMHO is a worse option. I had my taste of the Iphone. I dont think I will go down that path again by buying another Iphone.

(23) Any feedback, comment, question, sharing pls email me at roni.azlanATgmail.com

That usually happens when you cant connect to your data network.

Check your access points.

P/s make sure you are accessing through wifi or using unlimited data plan. its 1sen per kb ppl. the charges may get astronomical if you are not.

Hey guys,

I just bought  a white N97. I bought it to replace my Iphone 2G. Here's my experience  so far.

(1) The white one is harder to find than the black one
(2) Retail is about RM 2480 in KL area.
(3) Midvalley sold out the white one, Lowyat got fewer white ones than black. Some shops got diffrent prices for the colours with the white one being pricier.
(4) Get the original. I.e check the AVAXX and Nokia sticker. Best bet is to buy at the Nokia store. At that price of 2000 plus you SHOULD buy the original.

(5) Immediately upgrade the software the moment you buy it.  The software you got the moment you buy it is rubbish and full of bugs.
N97 MINI PHONE REVIEW

(6) The on board RAM is rubbish, 128 RAM and the moment i wanted to use it it has only about 20 MB left. and i havent even installed anything yet.

(7) The software onboard is a wee bit sluggish.

(8) Personally i think the Iphone interface is better. Its much nicer.

(9) The moment you use the email interface make sure you set in the email settings in the mass memory.

(10) The email exchange is slower than the Iphone email exchange, in the Iphone the moment the email comes in the iphone will immedieately notices it. The N97 has a lag of at least 15 mins. But then again it maybe has to do with my settings.

(11) The Iphone Email Exchange see your sent email even from emails you sent from your office computer. The N97 can only see emails you send from the phone

(12) The Facebook application on the Iphone can post pictures on the wall posts. Havent found such option on the N97.

(13) the cameras in the N97 is sharp. 5Megapixels i tell you.hehehe. Although so far indoor pictures tend to be grainy a bit. Also there's no way to turn off the annoying clicking sound.

(14) I tried to upgrade the QuickOffice but it couldnt. A check with the resellers and they said that currently there is no option to upgrade QuickOffice yet for the N97. Please correct me if im getting the wrong information.

(15) Sometimes the it crashes when browsing . This is rare though.

(6) The on board RAM is rubbish, 128 RAM and the moment i wanted to use it it has only about 20 MB left. and i havent even installed anything yet.

-I think the 20Mb left you are referring to the phone memory storage (the one u can see in file manager) and not RAM. since it has only approximately 70Mb total, and 41Mb is used by system. a typical N97 fresh booted up phone has about 45Mb of RAM. Yes it's still low compared to the older Nseries phone. Hopefully it'll get better with newer firmware. So far havent run into low memory error yet though.


(11) The Iphone Email Exchange see your sent email even from emails you sent from your office computer. The N97 can only see emails you send from the phone

-did you use the built in e-mail apps (the one in your SMS menu), or did you download the Nokia Messaging 10 from the SW Update? The Nokia Messaging is superior and it does display message you sent, either by using phone or computer smile.gif (in my case, im using Hotmail)

(12) The Facebook application on the Iphone can post pictures on the wall posts. Havent found such option on the N97.

-I dont think it's possible to post picture on wall yet. as of now, the facebook apps is still very very limited and crippled function compared to a full browser version. heck, it's not even possible to add a new friend from the phone. my advice is to login facebook using the browser on the phone if there's function that you couldnt find in the apps. again, this can be improved since this is a software issue. it still looked cool on the homescreen though wink.gif

(18) I havent found the way to reset/reformat the N97. Help anyone ?

-No. None yet. Even 5800XM dont get their hard reset function until the later v20.x firmware. For now, there is only soft reset via *7370# which restore everything to factory setting.

(19) The Ovi Store currently is bollocks. There's less there than Penang Football Association coffers. But then again, maybe because it is still new and apps are still being developed.

-Agreed, and agreed smile.gif


(20) QWERTY KEYBOARD !!!. Ok this i have some serious issues with. To write a capital letter you have to press a shift up button first and then the corresponding word. Not user friendly.

-it's dumb, i know...you are not the first person to complain about this. hopefully nokia will notice these complaints and fix it in next firmware.

Hi gzero.

1. Oh its 70MB and not 128 ?. Ok. My bad then, but still, why does apps and email are by default saved in the c: phone memory folder. If its for RAM purposes then it should be left alone and be made much bigger. 20 plus Ram is not much to play around with.

2. Nokia Messaging unfortunately doesnt support corporate mails sad.gif

3. True. It looks cool on the home screen though. Which btw can the homescreen be resized. Lets say i want to make the facebook widget to take the WHOLE space of my phone. Can that be done ? anyone with any ideas ?

4. Oh no hard reset ? thanks for the info smile.gif , btw what happens if i were to hard reset it ? everyhthing goes back to from day one ? what about my trial version of quickoffice and pdf reader. Would they be restarted as well ? would be nice if it did smile.gif

5. Since Ovi is crXX right now, is it possible to download from another source ? like Cydia did to Iphone ?

6. How do we get the developer's notice ya ? is there like a specific forum where this nokia developers like to hangout ? these ppl really need to learn how to create a phone. One or two more models like this and Nokia will go down the drain.

Anyways how's your phone holding up so far ? any quirks you wanna share ?

1. Nono, u got that wrong. They are 2 different thing. One is called Phone Memory, the one you see in file manager. It's similiar to a hard disk on your computer, a built in storage. That one has 70++MB. Dont let the Phone "Memory" term fool you. The second one is the actual memory RAM just like your computer RAM. N97 has 128Mb RAM onboard, but you can't see it unless you are using a third party program. This 128Mb of RAM are not used by e-mail messages or apps so don't worry. smile.gif They go into the phone storage instead. I have no idea why the default apps are all installed in phone storage instead of the 32GB mass storage. However, you can configure such that any future message are stored in your mass storage and also choose to install apps into mass storage. Personally, i uninstalled many unncessary widgets from the phone so i can free up more space for the phone.

3. Can't resize. However, what i hate more is the fact that we can't remove or hide the stupid clock/profile/date widgets on top. It's blocking my beautiful wallpaper and it's driving me nuts. Why can't they make it like the 5800XM where you can display full clean homescreen? sad.gif

4. Not sure about hard reset since it isn't available yet. Haven't try it before on other phone neither. BUt the soft reset merely bring it back to factory setting. All the softwares were intact including my phonebook (surprisingly), i lost 2 pre-installed game though. Guitar hero and the Sims 3. It's a special promotion when i bought the phone, they offer 2 full version games.

5. Since Ovi is crXX right now, is it possible to download from another source ? like Cydia did to Iphone ?
Not sure about Iphone, i'm not an Iphone user smile.gif. But you can download apps, theme and games from many sources i can't point out here. But just google and search something like "s60v5 apps" or something similar. Some of the stuff in Ovi store are also available on these third party sites.

Yes, It happened only when you plug your data cable into PC and do transfer, and then you just plug the cable out. Best bet is, remove the hardware safely till you heard/see the white LED charging gone off. Then try unplug it. See if the matter still persist or not?

Hi everyone,

I've just sent my Nokia N97 back to the shop for a firmware flash because I was having a few battery issues with my phone. The battery sort of shorted itself out from 4 bars to 1 bar the other day and it turned off my phone. The battery life is pretty bad nowadays and I have to charge it everyday or risk it running out of battery on the next day. Also, my contacts which I mark as "favourite" no longer appear as names in my SMS'es when I receive. I see their number, +60123456789 instead.

He claims that this is because I installed Garmin unofficially through the instructions provided here on LYN.(I went one step further and installed the 5.00.50 version) Is this possible?

Not too sure about the battery problem if you're not on Dual mode which drains the battery faster compared to GSM mode but I believe the reason only numbers are being shown in your Inbox is due to duplicated contacts which you probably have the same person in both your Sim card and phone memory.

The claim about Garmin is BS. Some people just have to put the blame on something else so they get to avoid their responsibility for the products sold.

Yes, It happened only when you plug your data cable into PC and do transfer, and then you just plug the cable out. Best bet is, remove the hardware safely till you heard/see the white LED charging gone off. Then try unplug it. See if the matter still persist or not?

ok, i got click the "remove drive" thingy b4 i unplug, but din notice the LED charging part... will try it and see how, thanks bro...

Hi everyone,

I've just sent my Nokia N97 back to the shop for a firmware flash because I was having a few battery issues with my phone. The battery sort of shorted itself out from 4 bars to 1 bar the other day and it turned off my phone. The battery life is pretty bad nowadays and I have to charge it everyday or risk it running out of battery on the next day. Also, my contacts which I mark as "favourite" no longer appear as names in my SMS'es when I receive. I see their number, +60123456789 instead.

He claims that this is because I installed Garmin unofficially through the instructions provided here on LYN.(I went one step further and installed the 5.00.50 version) Is this possible?
*
Try reset everything back to factory setting or download the Nokia Energy Profiler to see what consuming your battery that bad. Google yourself to find out the problem. I suspect there's Widget consuming them. Reset phone might solve some or all of your problem above.

Found out some interesting stuff.

I'm not responsible for this. Test at your own risk. Do tell us the result though.

Hard Reset :
For Nokia N97: Press both Shift keys + space bar and BackShift, hold, turn on the phone.

Simple.

First, download "Any Video Converter".

Convert your files to the preset "MPEG-4 Mobile Phone" format. Note: for Blu-Ray movies, you have to convert the video files one by one (usually 8 of them for one movie).

After the conversion, download "Free Video Joiner".

Import all your converted MPEG-4 videos into Free Video Joiner and just click on the JOIN button.

Ta-dah!

Your N97 connect to GPS. Then you capture a picture, and the application will attach the longtitude and latitude to the picture. Then you upload it online, share with people.

When other people open the picture with relevant application, it will point to the coordinate in the map. Something like google map there.

(12) The Facebook application on the Iphone can post pictures on the wall posts. Havent found such option on the N97.

-I dont think it's possible to post picture on wall yet. as of now, the facebook apps is still very very limited and crippled function compared to a full browser version. heck, it's not even possible to add a new friend from the phone. my advice is to login facebook using the browser on the phone if there's function that you couldnt find in the apps. again, this can be improved since this is a software issue. it still looked cool on the homescreen though wink.gif

it's possible, just select Wall folder when uploading the picture.

the nokia pc suite (not Ovi suite) has a component called video manager which converts any video files (i think) to mp4 format, it has a simple conversion interface and is optimized for n97. you will have to download it from the nokia website.

Hey Blinky, I have choosen that option and it works! Thanks. The only problem I notice is the quality for the tvb series I converted from rmvb to mp4 is low (can see pixel and bit blur) where else those movies (e.g ice age) is much better. Clear. Strange. I have compared few times and result between the series and movies are the same as above.

It means that your original video file is in low-res, nothing to do with the converter.

Too bad u got it, or else i will tumpang. Nice product indeed.

Aside,
1 Anyone know on sms, after you spell the name, will it be saved so in future it will be detected.
2 How about the pencil for mark in previous N series, not in N97 ?

Thanks

Hi people! I am interested in this phone. I've read through the previos thread and this one as well. It seems like there are quite a few problems with the phone. Anyways, as it costs around RM2k for one unit, I would really like to know personal opinions from all of you before I get it! Thanks!

get the phone and upgrade the firmware, it should be pretty stable...

however, since the camera have became an issue, it might be good to wait and see first..

overall i like my phone and its pretty cool.

Depends on yr budget and also yr taste towards physical keyboard. If u are ok with full touchscreen 5800 is yr choice,if not get the N97 but i personally like the feel of the N97,sturdy and heavy. Something like the E71

n97 rocks. No regret move to n97 from n95 8gb. Just cam quality, n95 better than n97. Hope next firmware will solve the problem.

Thank you for the comments. I don't mind the camera quality I supposed. Because I always used to bringing my digi cam around so I guess I won't be using much of the camera function.

Regarding the upgrading firmware issue, is it complicated to upgrade? Do we have to pay? If so, how much?

phone book scrolls using the scrolling bar, just like windows. you dont drag the phonebook freely, so no kinetic scrolling. however, in internet browser and certain apps, yes, there is kinetic scrolling.

The firmware update is very simple and easy. it can be via NSU = Nokia Software Update. A program to update firmware via cable/bluetooth.

Another alternative, fast and easy is via FOTA = Firmware upgrade Over The Air. Just key in *#0000#, click on option and search for update, connect via WiFi and it will update automatically.

Guys, I found that the lens cover scratches what it is supposed to cover. Is anyone else experiencing this kind of a problem?
Will the NCC replace it for me?

1 more thing, I found that Nimbuzz is really a cool app, it does it job pretty well, I now can call anyone on my messenger's list biggrin.gif

Luckily I didn't buy the IM+, it looks cool but the call feature is not working, besides that, Nimbuzz is free! You guys should give it a try
Yea, ones need to register to use it, but that doesn't mean you have to re-invite ur friends, just key in ur yahoo/hotmail or what so ever friends, they all will be there, just a click away !

edit: Do I sound like a Nimbuzz representative? Yeah I hope I could be one of them so that I could add a Webcam feature for this device =)

Yoz, I just got my new white N97 3 days ago and I'm happy with it ^^
However I found out some of the function in it is not working as well as i thought it will be,

The e-mail for example, when i choose to delete the e-mail from the phone and also from the server, the e-mail is still there in the server.

The other one is the pictures. If i were to take a picture horizontally and rotate the file 90 degree, then assign it as my contact picture, it'll remain horizontal when you look
from contacts. If you look at the image from the folder, it'll be as how you rotate it.

Then the pictures that you capture or transfer, if you were to add in an album, you can't delete one of them if not both will disappear.

Hope some of you can enlighten me if you have solution to the problems above =D Thanks for sharing

Cheers ~

Dayum! Today I sent it to the NCC again, for the second time. They warn me that I can't change it anymore. Shit
Last night I tilt the camera lens, and you know what I found? There was a small metal in between the cover and the lens. That means If the force you exert is big enough, it will damage ur lens. I dunno why they put such thing. I tried to tilt it a little bit so that it won't touch the lens, but I ended up making it no longer working, can't open and can't close. Lol.


Good news, I just got my n97 bodyguardz! It comes in 2 complete pieces, and If I managed to install it properly onto my device, I'm gonna sell it to those who are interested. I'll keep you guys updated

Dayum! Today I sent it to the NCC again, for the second time. They warn me that I can't change it anymore. Shit
Last night I tilt the camera lens, and you know what I found? There was a small metal in between the cover and the lens. That means If the force you exert is big enough, it will damage ur lens. I dunno why they put such thing. I tried to tilt it a little bit so that it won't touch the lens, but I ended up making it no longer working, can't open and can't close. Lol.
Good news, I just got my n97 bodyguardz! It comes in 2 complete pieces, and If I managed to install it properly onto my device, I'm gonna sell it to those who are interested. I'll keep you guys updated

hmm pity u. ive checked mine, no scratch.. yet! i assume it will scratch some day..

really think u should uninstall and install again.... no choice smile.gif


manquinn, u wan to sell body guard or sell off ur phone? blink.gif btw cant imagine they even warn u for replacement.. nokia customer service really -.- do u need to pay for their design mistake.. pls share more.. how long since u pass to them until u get ur phone back?


N97 is nice, but Nokia quality disspointed me alot.. with all the bugs(at least u cant live with it if u never upgrade ur firmware) and camera lens scratch, even though i havent get any yet, but i think it just matter of time.. unless i can take good care of it consistently....

how can they ship this to customer with so many bugs and expecting customer to upgrade thier firmware and bear with the camera problem without even take initiative in solving our problem???

few things tat annoying the most even after upgraded firmware:

1. zoom in picture(scrolling the bar)... most likely u will return to HOME screen out of sudden

2. for example, replying lowyat thru N97, smetime, when u point to the typing area, u back to homescreen....

3. really hard to save memory space in phone memory... only around 25MB free space now... total is 72MB i guess... they give u 32000MB mass storage and 72MB phone memory....

4. Game: totally no game to play, the guitar rock?? just one boring game? Ngage supported... but u need to pay for it...

5. biggest problem...... USB charger its convenient... but most likely it will shorten ur batt life.... imagine u got ur batt fully charge... and u want it connect to PC for some purposes, and then u charge it again... wat if u need to connect it for few hour.. so u charge it extra few hour?

the problem is whenver u connect to PC, u charge it.....

we all know that, batt life, highly depending on how u charge ur batt.... this will certainly shorten the life cycle... and 1500mAH... it gonna cost u a lot..


but i still like N97 for no reason, just hope tat it will perform more stable.... and trust me.. i will make myself love other phone nexxt time.. not nokia anymore...

I have no issues with the lens cover, no scratches whatsoever. guess i'll have 2 make sure i clean the phone off n on - with a blower and a microfibre cloth. the only problem is as spoken is the minimal ram space. i'm running on full force with everything open - widgets, fring, gravity, web browser. while doing that, a phone call came in - and the phone hung after the closed the call. think i'm pushing the capabilities of the phone bit too much - i feel as if it's a notebook rather than a phone.

there's rumours of a N97 'mini or 'lite', as covered in Engadget.

Pics below, looks much better than the current N97, especially the back.

Please help. I can't succesfully install Garmin onto my N97. Have followed all the instruction on top of thread. Stuck at step 15. I don't have the option: "Use Attached/Built-in GPS". On the screen, there's a message, "Connection allowed to Garmin GPS devices only" The only option I can click on is "Pair New GPS" which always asks me to turn on my bluetooth.

Planning to get this phone by next week. Yay!

Used to have e71, but the lack of camera power is hazardous for me, so changed to n82 and had been satisfied.

Some questions:

1. Does the phone web browser has the option for full view instead of mobile view? So that I can surf LYN without its horrible mobile interface.

2. How would you compare the camera power with n82? The video would obviously be more awesome of course.

3. I read about this phone being scratch resistant. Being a clumsy person, I need to know does this claim kinda true to actual people in here?

Hope you guys can answer it. I am getting it anyway, since its my dream to have a qwerty phone with good camera.

I've been trying ways to make it realiable - frustrating to close all the application and reboot the phone n open back the application. i'm now testing on running with different custom "destination" in the connection manager. 1 outdoor with only maxis gps, 1 home with wifi. anyone have any success with this?

Me too, been reading the reviews since it launched, and feel quite worried about the cons...
Many ppl have to do reset / flash which I don't really like to do to my phone.

I plan to buy from LYN trader, but wonder they will have the latest firmware installed, cos i noticed most of the problems is due to the old firmware.

Also, I like the White N97 very much, but heard that it will become yellowish after certain period of time.

And for the price, seems like it's getting lower & lower. Wonder if it will drop to RM2000nett soon tongue.gif

About the camera lens scratching the lens, I didn't experience it on my 1st n97, zitron set.
Now I am on my 2nd n97, avaxx set. I had this problem twice and I sent it to the NCC to get the back cover replaced.
Now, there is no more problem. So I think it depends on the back cover's origin.

edit : but I thought ours are made in China only? hmm

been using the camera on mine (white zitron) almost everyday checked the lens yesterday and didn't notice any scratch.. phewww!!!!. Dang.. to have scratches on the lense is definitely crossing the line la.. I'm ok with having to restart phone once in a while and help the phone figure out where to connect to and telling it it's ok that they can't connect to the wifi coz we're not at home anymore (the thing beeping so helplessly when certain wifi signal is lost.. poor thing) but to get scratches on lense because of design flaw? totally unacceptable.

Wondering though.. does other phones have as much problems as N97? I mean if we get a different phone that's also just launched.. will there still be bugs and having to restart phone and all that?

I've been debating on N97 and the Iphone 3GS, most friends recommending the latter but after reading this thread I'm going with the n97. After all, I'm really after a smart phone.

I've surveyed 2 shops, one in Carrefour subang jaya. Selling ap phone for 2.1k.
The other shop is nokia shop in Amcorp selling for 2.35k ori.

Any bro here can recommend a trusted shop for me to buy from in KL or subang, shah alam, bangsar vicinity?

My main use will be GPS, Microsoft office, modem for computer, camera and games... Will the shop help me set up the phone properly?

Also, do they allow me to test the phone first? Hear the speaker and receiver, check the camera pictures, LCD pixels, speed etc etc? Also do they help with installing applications there and then and also latest firmware?

Not a pro user, but willing to learn. Btw, I've been using ipaq for nearly 3 years now. But lately the phone reception and connectivity is awful. Hopefully, n97 as a phone does not have such problems.

Thanks for any advise.

Regarding the lens scratches problem, I've read about some user's experience & found out that some N97 have the lens cover's cushion 'touching' the lens while some don't.
That's why it will cause scratches if it is touching the lens, more if it caught some dust.
So, make sure you check the lens cover's blue cushion by sliding it a few times to see if the unit is actually 'touching' the lens before purchasing it.

And regarding the 'phone keeps on restart by itself' problem, I've also read about it from a gadget magazine, that it MIGHT be caused of Virus.
This is especially if you installed some 3rd party / unsigned programs or have other people install stuffs into your phone.
Might consider getting a Mobile Anti Virus program.

Just a suggestion...

ad-hoc - I never like this kind of thing

Is this helpful???

YES it is useful because Ad-Hoc wifi doesn't require additional hardware purchase (e.g pairing another notebook with another notebook)

I am able to share a direct broadband dialup connection via ad-hoc wifi with another notebook BUT when tried to use the same method to share LAN internet connection via Ad-Hoc wifi, I was unsuccessful. Try to share the internet connection so that the phone can go on to internet via WLAN.

Regarding the lens scratches problem, I've read about some user's experience & found out that some N97 have the lens cover's cushion 'touching' the lens while some don't.
That's why it will cause scratches if it is touching the lens, more if it caught some dust.
So, make sure you check the lens cover's blue cushion by sliding it a few times to see if the unit is actually 'touching' the lens before purchasing it.

And regarding the 'phone keeps on restart by itself' problem, I've also read about it from a gadget magazine, that it MIGHT be caused of Virus.
This is especially if you installed some 3rd party / unsigned programs or have other people install stuffs into your phone.
Might consider getting a Mobile Anti Virus program.

Just a suggestion...
*
about the lens scratches, the blue thingy inside the lens cover is actually not a cushion to protect ur lens, it is actually a holder for spring, and the scratches is not caused by the dust, it is due to the spring in the blue pad... too close to our lens... seriiously do u think dust will cause such a deep scratch in ur lens? i saw this in some N97 forum.....

Been using for N97 whitie for few weeks.
Fall in love with this phone, but I still can't afford for one. sad.gif

N97 is nice, especially for SMS-ing and surfing internet. However, it may be laggy sometimes when I open SMS or gallery.

By the way, can we use the applications like Facebook, and The Star Reader via wifi? I've tried these applications, but it seems to direct connect to my Maxis 3G sad.gif

As for white, will it turn yellow after using for some time?

@ felicious : u need to disable 3G first by going to
Settings>Connectivity>My Network and then if you connect to wifi, it will use the wifi connection by default. if im not mistaken 1 time i opened the browser and it asked me which connection i wanted to use, whether 3g or wifi but the most important thing is u must be connected to wifi first.
im planning to buy the invisible shield, i think will turn into yellow if u dun wipe it everyday.

Comparing phones:
the phone is great, the most important is whether u like the phone or not, its a matter of preference. iphone is nice to use but for me n97 has a cooler design imho.

GarminXT:How to install maps
My phone was preinstalled with GarminXT,
1)i just connect my phone via USB,
2)choose the phone to be mass storage,
3)go into my phone's Garmin Folder and
4)just paste "gmapsupp.img" into the Garmin folder.

gmapsupp.img are the maps and u can get the latest maps for malaysia from here http://malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1657
its updated every 2 weeks. rclxms.gif

by the way im using white.

bro like i said earlier, it depends on ur preference..why dont you go to a phone shop and try out a few phones?
the battery lasts pretty long its 1500mah. touch screen for the interface is very accurate n depends on wat u use cuz some apps dun support touch screen.
about hang..i have not experienced it so far.

Hehe, thanks mate, I bought it from a friend of mine from the US, now it is available on eBay, you should give it a try since there is no one in Malaysia selling this thing yet. So far, the only thing that bothers me is the smell. I just lost the 'bau kedai' thing because of the protector and it collects dust pretty well, lol. Other that that, it is perfect, feels like nothing is being applied on ur precious

Don't have the time and usually all they do is just upgrade your phone and reset it. Most of the time all these bugs get sorted out in a firmware. If I can't take it anymore I may bring it in.

more news on the N97 mini:

http://www.unwiredview.com/2009/08/04/noki...t-some-details/

QUOTE
And the point of having Nokia N97 Mini at all? Price and size.

Nokia N97 will be about 100 EUR cheaper then it’s bigger brother. As for the size – not everyone is happy to carry around a brick of N97 size in their pocket. But might be tempted to get the device with similar features in a more traditionally sized format.


100EUR is around RM500. So that makes N97 mini below Rm2k tongue.gif

If screen detector, most probably those dots are air bubbles trapped inside.
have to reapply while making sure no bubbles trapped inside.

i cannot get the unlock code from manufacturer of garmin.
Pls help...

Step 9 You should have received your device unlock code from the manufacturer of Garmin, however if you haven’t, there are instructions on the Internet to guide you on how to get yours wink.gif
Step 10 Copy the device unlock code and paste it in a notepad, then save the file as SW.UNL
Step 11 Reconnect your via cable using mass storage.
Step 12 Copy the SW.UNL file into \Garmin\ in your memory card

if u want to get the unlock code, u have to pay.
if u have money to buy a rm2.4k phone, but no money to pay garmin, then you have to get the unlock code by another way.

At least u can still use a pouch to protect it.
with the big n97, u will scratch it with ur own lens cover when u use the camera.

I wanna check with you guys if it's just my unit or it's suppose to be like that. since youtube does load for N97. I'm wondering why I can't view the videos in this website - www.pushmore.blogspot.com I can't view the videos in there when connected to Maxis 3G, or WiFi (Streamyx). It'll just show white boxes.

Can you guys help me verify this by loading the website in your phone?

Thank you in advance!

hi guys i reinstalled my invisible shield.

i did not use the spray they give. actually u can just use soap water but dilute the soap first.
use a tupperware, fill in with water til 3/4 then add soap into the water slowly and mix it with a spoon or back of a toothbrush
or whatever slowly because you do not want bubbles.
never use detergent or anything too strong. baby shampoo or any light soap/shampoo is fine.

after applying the shield, use your finger to rub all the moisture to the sides for 1 minute or 2, to avoid any bubbles.



here's my results:

Beautifully done!

I didn't buy invisible shield in the 1st place because I read some reviews saying that it has an orange peel effect, dunno what that really means actually, lol. But I feel like peeling off the back side cause I want the original matte feeling. I suggest you to cover the screen and the chrome sides only cause they are more prone to scratches

Edit : I've reinstalled mine a few times. Clean it with soap, then just use tap water to get it sticked

Actually can use tapwater but for me soap water makes the sticky side slippery..so u can slide the sticker around and adjust it.



go to garage sales, there http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...nvisible+shield

this fella is an authorized dealer, u can even find them listed in the official invisible shield website. www.zagg.com if im not mistaken.

good points:
after install invisible shield, it will have more grip.

bad points:
you cant slide your stylus or finger on the screen easily(due to the improved grip)
expensive

If its possible i would cover just the body, and for the screen i'd use a normal anti fingerprint screen protector so that i can slide my stylus easier.
I dont think anybody would need an ANTI Scratch Screen Protector..Ive been using normal screen protectors for my other phones with no problems and I believe its the same case with the rest of you.

but since ive invested 80 bucks, i might as well just use the IS.

on the other hand if any of you can really be patient and take care of your phone, gettin the anti fingerprint screen protector would be enough.

garmin application got probs a bit, i've experienced a few times hang. maybe u can get an application to force it to shutdown when it hangs.

by the way is there any other way to unlock the phone besides using the keyguard button?

This is orange peel effect. Quite harmless though, can only be seen from a certain angle.

Actually can use tapwater but for me soap water makes the sticky side slippery..so u can slide the sticker around and adjust it.
go to garage sales, there http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...nvisible+shield

this fella is an authorized dealer, u can even find them listed in the official invisible shield website. www.zagg.com if im not mistaken.

good points:
after install invisible shield, it will have more grip.

bad points:
you cant slide your stylus or finger on the screen easily(due to the improved grip)
expensive

If its possible i would cover just the body, and for the screen i'd use a normal anti fingerprint screen protector so that i can slide my stylus easier.
I dont think anybody would need an ANTI Scratch Screen Protector..Ive been using normal screen protectors for my other phones with no problems and I believe its the same case with the rest of you.

but since ive invested 80 bucks, i might as well just use the IS.

on the other hand if any of you can really be patient and take care of your phone, gettin the anti fingerprint screen protector would be enough.

thanks.

any one use bluetooth headset listening to music? what model and how its audio quality?

Remember I asked you guys whether there's another way to unlock the phone?
Now i found 2 ways from 2 different applications, 1 using the accelerometer and another Iphone style unlock.
These 2 ways and apps, can Combo to make a perfect lock and unlock.

You need to get these 2 applications, Mykeylock and ThinkChange nUnlock.

If ur carrying your phone around n ur using the 1st app, you might think that flipping the phone around will accidentally unlock the phone, hence now u can combo with the 2nd app to make a perfect lock/unlock combo for the n97.

Just watch the video and you'll get what I mean.

Video 1/ Application 1/ Way 1 - Accelerometer ONLY


2nd Video/Application2/Way 2 - Accelerometer application + Iphone style slide unlock COMBO

Im using BH-503, looks great and the audio quality is excellent

By the way I suggest you guys to get Bodyguardz instead of Invisible Shield. Like evraa90 said, you can no longer slide it with ur finger or stylus because of the improved grip effect. Mine still looks naked and can do anything even though I've applied it with bodyguardz

Hi all N97 brothers and sisters!
My first post. I am on the black team, but got my gf a white so all balanced smile.gif

My phone has been working without problems (1 week old) but my gf had problems. Yesterday while she was editing her contacts, the phone froze, so she had to turn off and on, and then her complete contact list was gone!!!!

Now the phone is still acting weird, when assigning speed dial keys, the numbers 2, 3, 4 does not work??? First speed dial key that can be assigned is 5... So strange.

Oh, on both phones, we need to push the unlock key 3 times to unlock, first time push the phone unlocks but screen is too dark to see, then push again to relock, the push again to unlock now with proper light... Weird, but a small hazzle I can live with.

A friend in Nokia pointed me to a program that might enable messages like sms to be stored as conversations/threads (like iphone and win mobile), instead of individual to and from messages.
I have not had time to try it but will soon. If you are interested it is here:
http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php/topic,5216.0.html
if you want to read about it search "free isms" in google. Lots of links.
It seems that version 1.02 is better than v1.03.

Hehe, thanks mate, I bought it from a friend of mine from the US, now it is available on eBay, you should give it a try since there is no one in Malaysia selling this thing yet. So far, the only thing that bothers me is the smell. I just lost the 'bau kedai' thing because of the protector and it collects dust pretty well, lol. Other that that, it is perfect, feels like nothing is being applied on ur precious

It should be the OS problem. I'm sure of it. It doesn't have to do with the hardware since other button are responsive to your finger except the BACK button, correct? Try take to NCC and do it again.

then they will install the garmin for you..
the price of the license is USD 99 - so its around RM 300 - RM 350 ..[but sometimes there are discount about 30%]

Yeah.. because I had tried both phones and 5800 screen feels so plastic-ky... But when I tried N97, it feels glassy, I mean, it's really a glass...  rclxms.gif

depends on the internet connection at your place.

Digi currently running on gprs and edge so it will be slower.

If you pay as you go, the max they will charge is 150RM, even if you dl more than that would cost.
Both are for Maxis postpaid, don't know how prepaid is.

Guys, I am really unhappy with this phone's GPS. It is totally useless/unusable!

I was in a car, it took me like 2 mins just to get locked. I restarted my phone, and went to a field/rooftop, still took ages to get gps lock.

I could say nothing about its accuracy, totally inaccurate. Now I am totally upset.

Am I the only unlucky fella experiencing this prob? How the hell am I supposed to fix this? I really hope it's a Software problem, not the hardware that causes this prob.

I compared it with 5800 side by side. The tube locks up pretty fast, like almost 10 times faster than n97. Yeap, the red dot seems like not really following my current location. Like 400m inaccurate

accuracy wise, i m using Garmin, no accuracy problem...somehow when car stopped, Garmin tends to changing its direction around, but once u start moving it will back to normal, i assume this is normal with GARmin..

for accurate comparison, suggest u turn off both 5800 and N97, just to ensure both are doing cold start

on it back, do a comparison again... cox wat u did previously might due to the 5800 is at hot start stage, so it will lock faster...

For both phones, I am using the built-in maps. I did restart them before I started the map app. It is obvious the tube is far more accurate than the n97. I've already googled this problem and it seems like many people are experiencing this. I can only hope for it to be a software problem.

When you use gps on this phone, eg nokia maps or garmin, does it use the 3g connection to connect to the gps satelite?

If yes, then why the stand alone gps navigator does not use 3g connection?

GPS:

Haven't tried the phone gps, but I have a standard Garmin car GPS, and can confirm that lock time can reach 10-15 minutes. This is unfortunately normal for GPS devices.

is it true that A-GPS will lock your position and also show you your current position you're facing? Because N97 have the built in compass as well.

So, if I use N97 for GPS navigation, it will continously using 3G to connect.

If I am using 3G pay per use, then it will very costly?

No. A-GPS only will try to connect once when you launch the application (e.g. GMXT or Nokia Maps). After that, once satellite is locked, it will not use A-GPS again. Until you close/exit the application and run again.

I'm not sure if A-GPS will connect again if lost satellite signal.

IS gives a softer touch to the screen, i feel more comfortable tapping the screen with IS. I suggest cleaning your screen with wet tissue, and when its dry apply a small amount of baby powder or whatever so u can scroll smoothly.

garmin uses $$? isnt it free?

Invisible shield


Added on August 11, 2009, 2:33 amInvisible Shield vs Bodyguardz (iPhone)

VISUAL: They are both textured a bit. The texture on the Invisible Shield is 'bigger' and wider apart whereas the texture on the BodyGuardz if 'fine'. Holding both sheets under light and outside - CLEARLY the most akin to the iPhone back case is the BodyGuards. Shiney with less ripples/texture.
I have Invisible Shield on my MBA and it's gorgeous, but if you want a more "as iphone naked" as possible with the same gloss - BODYGUARDZ wins.

TOUCH/FEEL: Invisible Shield is stickier if sliding a finger across it. Bad for screen, great for back if you want a nice grip. BodyGuardz is silkier, less sticky/grippy, but still grippy of course. I feel it's grippy 'enough'. More than the phone which I feel is already grippy at least vs. the 2g iPhone.

SIZE: Wow. Laying both back parts flat, the size difference is incredible. BodyGuardz is gosh... 1/4" wider & longer? Very significant. This supports my thinking when looking at the photos around here that the Invisible Shield doesn't cover the bezel well. BodyGuardz is clearly cut bigger all the way around and should provide the needed bezel cover.
Also - the Camera hole on the Invisible Shield is huge. The hole for the BodyGuardz is more the size of the iPhone. About 1/2 the diameter than IS.

thanks for the converter suggession, will try it out...

i was thinking since the vids i get on net is flv, it would be more convenient if i use a flv player on phone instead of converting each episodes of the anime...

haha...
thinking of getting an IS, but wonder if i can install it onot cz i failed to install my screen protector myself (10 bucks gone sweat.gif)

scare same thing will happen for IS which is not rm10 @.@

btw, hw much u rate ur IS out of 10?

biggrin.gif

ill give IS 6/10. havent try bodyguard yet.
if u have too much money, buy IS and stick it for ur back cover, then buy bodyguardz and stick for the rest of the phone.t

i think u can look for my post 5 or 6 pages back, i wrote down how i applied IS and pictures too.
It took me a few hours to put it. just take ur time cuz u can reapply IS again and again till u get it perfect.

QWERTY because of how the upper left keys are positioned - Q-W-E-R-T-Y. Early typewriters had different layout but because they were mechanical, the letters got jammed when typing fast, so they developed the QWERTY layout to keep frequently used letters away from each other.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY

PS:
About batterylife, cause many have complained about short battery life on the N97. I disagree. If you turn off all the streaming/real-time updates, the phone lasts very long - more than 24 hours without dropping the first bar on the battery status.
Even with all those turned on (push email, gmail, fb, news) the phone lasts abt a day, which is normal compared to HTC and iPhone.

my one can last a day plus, sometime up to 2 days.... normal usage... few phone calls...

actually, portable device should have design for longer battery life.. i really enjoy when i have my first nokia phone... 3310 or wat tat can last for 5 days easily.. of cox tats a boring phone...

but if N97 can last for 3 days, i would really appreciate it vyvy much,... haha.
