Nokia n97- ideas Pros & Corns!

hi all, i heard the nokia n97 is a successor of the n96 and i believe its going to give a beating to the sony xperia x1--what do you all think?
it does not have a mobile windows based system so maybe xperia takes more points that way....
other comments needed too pleasee....
What's Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well!
All "N-series" are incredible!

I was a HUGE WINMO FAN. i would not even considwer a phone to be a smartphone unless it had winmo.
But then I tried the nokia N95 last year and realised that s860 was a pretty nice OS also. Did not have aS MANY BELLS AND WHISTLES as winmo, but worked really well. Very intuitive and with a few tweaks had almost everything winmo had except for a truly dynamic desktop.
Then I bought an iphone3g and it was really intuitive and handled ms exchange even better than microsofy does,tHE SCREEN WAS GREAT, and the most responsive of any touch screen I have used, but it had a few too many limitation for me. cut and paste, no mms messages and a **bleep** camera.
So I decided to go back to winmo. Bought a HTC touch cruise and then an HTC touch diamond. I realised afer the journey through these phones, winmo offered the most flexibility of any OS. Mpre tweaKS AND APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO WINMO THAN ANY OTHER os. hgowever THE INTERFACE was a pia even when disguised by touch flo, panels, etc.
Winmo needs a complete makeover amnd I hope they get it, but until they do I am a symbian fan and the N97 looks like it will be great.
Symbian has turned out to be the best compromise for me. I hAVE had n95-1 n95-4 N-96 AND NOW HAVE N85. These phones have all been super and if I wasnt a gadget nut would be happt with any one of them, but I am always looking for the next hreat thing. Right now it is the n85

  • Nokia N97, can someone help me please

    Okay i've had my Nokia n97 for more than 6months now and its been working great except lately my facebook app wasn't working and i had to update it,
    so last night i backed up my files on my mobile and i connected it to the pc and updated it with the program that the mobile brings with a cd it was okay then i went back to restore my files and it said it had to restart so it turned off and i went to turn it on again and it stayed a blank screen with the nokia sign in the middle in blue (when you turn it on it that usually shows) but it stayed stuck there it doesn't go to pin code nor anything, and to turn it off i have to take the battery off,
    any ideas how to fix this or i have to go to the shop?

    Yep, if you could not use facebook on the webbrowser, it would likely be some issue with facebook (servers etc.)
    There a lots of posts on different ways to handle the full memory message.
    Fw update, clean privacydata in browser, change messagememory to E, or soft reset. Use the searchbar and see if you could find anything. Gotta go to bed now. The n97 is a buggy device, and many customers experience wierd behavior. Often it is caused by low memory on C, corrupted storage as memorycard or E, or bad apps. You could always try a reboot too.

  • Nokias N97 new Meomory Management update as a Chri...

    Hi all,
    just downloaded today the meomory management update for Nokia N97. After installing it increased the phone memory by 2MB and then automatically uninstalled itself. Think some of cache folders are relocated to mass memory card. in addition to this do you see any other advantages of this update. Looking forward to hearing from all of you.

    The MINI got a new fw update, but AFAIK the N97 was abandoned long time ago.
    N97 getting Anna? - Not true. The N97 does not have the proper hardware to run symbian 3 nor Anna.
    The N97 was a great mistake as you mentioned. May God know why they came up with the brilliant idea of the tiny amount of NAND memory...

  • Incoming Phone numbers not appearing on Nokia N97

    I was got my Nokia 97 today and I've noticed that when receiving calls, even from numbers I know are not private or blocked, the phone number doesn't appear on the screen or in the call log.   I have tried going through all the settings and everything I could think of to try and fix th problem but nothing would help. This is frustrating as when I recieve a call I have no idea who it is from, or who to call back!
    Any help at all with this problem would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks heaps!!
    God Bless you!

    1. open log = options = and set it to 30 days
    2. if it didn't work, backup your data and press *#7370# ((soft reset))
    n.b : of course there's no duplication ... (( open contacts optios and use one memories only sim or phone memory to display contacts ))

  • Hard reset Nokia N97 without knowing lock password

    I received this phone from our inventory at work.  I am not sure who used it before me.  But, I do not know the lock pass code.  How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password.  Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt.  I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on.  This did some type of reset.  But, the lock password still is not 12345.
    So, either the lock password for Nokia N97 is not 12345 by default, or this is not a true hard reset?
    Any ideas?

    You could try changing the sim, it may be a sim lock code and not a phone lock code, I have my sim locked but if I change for spare sim the phone doesn't require a code it just starts ! Worth a try ?

  • NOKIA N97 SYSTEM ERROR AND MENU NOT OPENING

    I have a N97 which is a far cry from the N900. Anyhow, of recent when I try to access the menu a message pops up saying "System error" - so, I cannot access any of the other functions through Menu and, quite honestly, I don't know how else to access the menu. Any ideas or suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated!

    Apart from loss of data I would probably suggest carrying out a "hard reset" upon this device, which is chronically short of phone memory:http://mynokiablog.com/2009/07/18/how-to-hard-reset-your-nokia-n97/

  • Nokia N97 Mini - Calendar events since January 1st...

    Hi all!
    I´m facing a strange problem my calendar events since January 1st aren´t displayed.
    I tried to reset the device (hard reset) but when I recovered the backup I faced the same problem.
    Is there anyway to delete just the Calendar data? I am asking it, because I would like to try a full resync (through Mail for Exchange) to try to solve the problem...
    1- Anyone faced this problem because of the new year?
    2- Anyone knows how to delete just the Calendar data?
    I´ll try to backup everything (without calendar),  do a new hard reset and then recover the backup without Calendar Items.
    I updated all the Firmware available.
    Any idea folks?!
    Thanks in advance!

    Nokia N97 mini

    Yes, thanks, I tried it too.
    The last thing I did: Deleted all the calendar data on device. Sync Google with Outlook (it works) and than sync with the N97 through PC Suite (it works too, but don't solve my problem, because It's bad for me be dependant of Outlook, because I use Multiples PCs and this way, I don't have real time Sync)
    I still looking for a better solution. 
    PS: Before it I tried another software to Sync (in my opinion better than "Mail for Exchange" to Google Calendar:  But it does not solve the problem (2010 data).

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try going into connectivity settings-destinations-internet-then delete all access points. Turn off phone, re-boot, go back into connectivity and automatically search for access points, packet data should be available (it will be O2) select that and you should be ok.
    Good Luck

  • Nokia N97 Factory Reset

    I have this Nokia N97 now for 5 days and did something wrong. I uninstalled Accu Weather and some other Apps by accident. After I did the Factory Reset all my emails have been still in the phone as well there haven't been the uninstalled Apps back. I mean a Factory Reset should bring the phone kompletely to that level as I bought it. What can I do to get this Nokia N97 to its original settings and Apps back as it has been when I bought it? Further I like to know what settings I've to do with N1, N2 or N3? I've no idea what this means.

    You don't want the phone in the original state you bought it in, you want to create as much space as you possibly can on the C drive (phone memory) to help the phone work efficiently. Any apps you need you should be able to download and install on E mass memory. Also set messaging to store all messages on E Mass memory (in messaging , select- options-settings-other-memory in use-E mass memory, and set number of messages to about 500).
    Don't know how you reset the phone , but if all your messages were still there without using E to store them, you didn't reset !
    I suggest dialing *#7370# followed by 12345 which will reset phone and leave the maximum free memory available, then set up the phone as you want it. BACK UP your contacts, calendar and Notes BEFORE a reset using PC Suite or Ovi Suite, on your computer.
    Good Luck

  • Nokia N97 -UNLOCKED from 3G.

    Hiya folks!
    Have recently purchased and unlocked a Nokia N97, now using o2 it basically doesn't want to do anything more than normal For example; if i try using Wifi, apps, it trys to do something via 3g but can't then even do that? Any ideas? Plus, as unlocked, if i ever did a hard reset or factrory restore, would it revert back to 3g?? I've SMS/WAP settings from o2 but still need 'something'?????
    Cheers folks!

    The phone is obviously not 'unlocked' it's just not contract. If you gointo connectivity, and delete all your Destinations then search for new, it should find O2 and work ok. You should also be able to contact O2 to txt some configuration settings to help you out !
    Good Luck
    PS there are other things you can do but you'd need to check the web as they can't be discussed or suggested on this forum

  • NOKIA N97 and BH-507

    Ho da poco comprato l'auricolare Nokia BH-607. Sono molto deluso. L'auricolare non è compatibile con il Nokia BH-607. Alla prima connessione tutto ok, infatti viene riconosciuto dal software ACA. Poi, una volta spento il telefono, o interrotta la connessione bluetooth, o trascorso un'oretta, il software ACA non riconosce più l'aulicorare e per farlo rivedere, bisogna effettuare l' Hard Reset del cellulare. ho chiesto aiuto al supporto tecnico on line e, senza perdere tempo, mi hanno detto di andare in un Punto Nokia. Io non ho la possibilità di perdere giorni di lavoro per un stupido problema di software. Se qualcuno ha avuto il mio stesso problema ed è riuscito a risolverlo, fatemi sapere. Grazie.
    I recently bought the Nokia BH-607. I am very disappointed. The headset is not compatible with the Nokia BH-607. The first connection all ok, it is recognized by the ACA. Then, once off the phone or stop the Bluetooth connection, or spend an hour or so, the software no longer recognizes the ACA aulicorare and to do that review, we must carry out the 'Hard Reset your phone. I asked for help to technical support online and, without wasting time, they told me to go to a Nokia Point. I do not have the possibility of losing days of work for a stupid software problem. If someone has had the same problem and managed to solve it, let me know. Thank you.

    Both these links state that it is compatible...
