I don't think its any better than the 'big' one. Smaller internal memory, lower capacity battery. They removed the camera lens cover though, could be to fix that? I dunno. It doesn't make any sense to me for them to release the mini so quickly after the N97.

i know.. it's so stupid, i found out about a week ago on gsmarena.. they are planning to release it in oct.

i do find that the keypad is better because of the placement of the arrows, etc

I'm left-handed so the N97's D-pad is perfect LOL :lol

RCubed 09-08-2009 09:27 PM

Since my upgrade to V12.2.024, my phones been hanging a lot. Random resets, the works.. anyone else experiencing problems with the new firmware?

alex.w *// 09-08-2009 10:06 PM

^ nope im running most recent firmware and everything is smooth sailing. seems a lot faster too

+Kardboard+ 09-08-2009 10:11 PM

Ditto. MUCH better with v12.

When ppl say that the battery doesn't last a day, are you guys using it extensively? i was thinking of getting one on Wed but now im not so sure. been debating between the Omnia II and N97 for a while

Anybody using the N97 on their corporate e-mail over Mail on Exchange? If so, please share your experiences. Thanks!

Rather extensively for me. 2+ hours of HSPA use, some camera, some videos and no music. A little bit of talk and text, continuous email over IMAP and contacts/calendar over Exchange.

Oh, also, where is the N97 made? I'm assuming Finland or USA?

clowe 09-14-2009 01:37 PM

I think all the N97 NAM versions are made in China

bcrdukes 09-14-2009 01:57 PM

WTF are you serious? :confused:

Anyways, what is up with the "new" N97? Something about better build quality or something?

jurson 09-14-2009 02:35 PM

ok I Just called Costco USA and they say that I can't purchase things online unless i have a US CC, everyone that purchased the N97 on the site did you all have a US CC?

+Kardboard+ 09-14-2009 03:52 PM

No idea on the U.S. CC thing.

Doesn't matter where the phone is made, if they're not "Made in China"/"Made by Nokia" they're assembled in China. Same difference.

Newer batches of the N97 have an improved camera lens cover that doesn't scratch your lens haha :lol

what's so special about Costco USA? price?
It's $599 in Costco USA but $579 in newegg.com or $649 at newegg.ca free shipping (custom extra).

jurson 09-16-2009 11:06 AM

ecsw 09-16-2009 11:30 AM

^ no worry. you can talk to live support for price adjustment if you haven't receive it yet.
I ordered a Archos 60GB from them. 3 days after I got it, it dropped $10. I got my $10 back after talking to the on-line live support.

jurson 09-17-2009 10:17 AM

got it done last night :)

Peturbo 09-23-2009 08:38 PM
