It's the same handsfree, AD-54. I still prefer older AD-43 that comes with N95, the one with metal parts. Way more sturdy and tactile.

5800/N97

I just tested N97 Black zitron set. Priced at RM2699 everywhere... seem like price control lol. As usual NO 16GB MICROSD BUNDLED. Pouch included though.

The responsiveness imo similar to V21 5800. ASR still quite laggy sometimes. Doesnt love the congested homescreen although it look cool in photo. Build quality pretty solid but also fingerprint magnet, especially the chrome frame. The keyboard slideout mechanism really precise and solid too. Screen noticeable bigger although only 0.3in bigger than 5800 but i didnt notice any better clarity or brightness. Best part is the QWERTY keypad. Although i dont really pay attention to it before, typing on it just now changed my mind sad.gif

N97 QWERTY KEYBOARD REALLY DAMN NICE... Well spaced, quite tactile and can type very fast, even when i first time holding it. But the weird placement of space bar might cause some annoyance.

Didnt test the camera much but i saw some dust build up at the lens area. The sliding lens cover also quite nice, a lot better than N95 or N82.

Size is probably the threshold of what i can accept but the weight doesnt seem to heavy. Hefty enough to hold properly.

Does it worth RM1000 over 5800? If u need QWERTY keypad and 32GB, go for it smile.gif

The shop selling the phone at a much higher price is understandable because afaik the margin for this phone is really low. I believe it's somewhere in between RM 2100 - RM 2200. Unlike the past when people could sell n95 and etc at 3k ++ while their cost was 2.6k.


True. Since 5800, i noticed Nokia have been very aggressive with their pricing in Malaysia. Their initial SRP is much lower than predicted and much aligned with the price in other countries. Price also hardly dropped after launched, like 5800. Few years ago, we can expect 20-30% drop in price/value after 3 months.

Direct download the map. Make sure read the instruction carefully, differentiate Map 2.0 and 3.0

Normally the phone wont last long for the first few days.

1. Battery need few charge cycles to reach optimum condition.
2. Curiosity kept the user pressing and playing with the phone too much biggrin.gif

And another thing that I noticed is the music player, it's even worst than N95, in terms of interface, there is some improvement, but for music quality, it's downright lousy.


WOW shocking.gif shocking.gif

I thought N97 has better SQ via headphone output than 5800 based on multiple reviews. And i think 5800 is a lot better than N95, N82, N81 generation SQ. A lot bettter till i decided to sell my Sony DAP.

No since it support UDP function. But to be safe, backup all data.
