A better choice, and a wise one.
Why buy something cheap now when you can save for something better later?
Sure hope so.
But the new X series looks fun too. 

Since too many downgrade from N97 to N97 mini, I think 1200mAh is already suffice

No, N97 owner like me will pissed off if the battery life live longer then it's own big brother. It lowers the screen size and many downgrade features. To me, the battery capacity is already suffice

Then prove to me the battery capacity will result short power supplies by the phone. If more then 1 day and half, then that similar with my N97

now make me think twice about satio.either red satio or 97 mini white.so headache.

hmm.. this is made as an option to a girl who prefer a smaller phone i guess.. nevertheless, for me, i will wait for n900.

does any1 facing any problem with the bluetooth?

i m having problem using it with my carkit. its pioneer brand and works without any problem with my previous SE phones

sometimes my n97 unable to connect to it and even connect it will drop. then a couple of times i force connect my phone hang >.<

  woooooot so expensive, bt y this thread like dead for such an expensive phone? come on la guys share something, I oso can learn wat ..

hi.

    Can AP set create OVI account and get into OVI online store and buy games?????
   
    please help.

  thx.

for all nokia n97mini users, wats the problems of it besides this startup problem? does it happens frequently?

Btw, is it smooth while using garmin?

overall everything works smooth with the latest firmware?

happens after i updated firmware. Charge overnite also still the bar keeps running.
to be safe i need to charge while switched off.

I still  need to check whether something is wrong with my batt or charger, who knows..

definitely u should take the mini. n97 ram is too small.

Planning to buy this phone so i will need some review:

i have been looking around and some said there is hang problem (but somehow this can be resolve by updating to latest firmware, is this true?)

how about using this phone to do this 3 things?

1) Facebook (is it smooth? flash game i think is playable with installing some software)

2) Youtube (can we watch it from N97M?)

3) Can we use any instant msg, or webim from it so i can chat with my friends anywhere i am?

4) What is the pros and cons between AP and Zitron phone?

Looking forward for a kind reply from all the Nokia lover. Thank you.

Thanks again aspire, i believe Mr. Google will come in handy for me to look for guide on how to update firmware and etc.

btw, aspire how would you rate this phone N97m?
is it really good? pros and cons about it?
