hey, put me in the list for white N97. Got it fr Nokia shop (Northern Point) Gurney Plaza Pg at RM2480 2 days ago.

The unit is running fine, just that the internet connection with 3G keeps dropping otherwise wifi is ok. Anyone else facing this issue? Anyway to keep the 3G conection "always on" rather than to reconnect repeatedly?

One cons regarding the white unit is, the keyboard is hard to read under bright light as compared to the black unit.

I've tried both and used the Super instead.
Handbrake maybe able to do it with a higher quality(I'm not very sure though) but it seems that it is doing it in real time. Meaning it streams the video while converting. So a 2 hour movie takes about 2 hours.

The Super is faster and quite user friendly and produces quite a result.

Just remember to convert the video to a resolutio that the phone will be able display (no larger than 640 on the horizontal axis and 360 on the vertical axis) or the phone can't play it. Happened to an N97 user here, and me with my 5800 as well.

thats weird..
when u open up m.youtube on ur phone n choose a video did u see a link "watch video in flv player" (sumethin like dat..i cant remember)
