My N97 has had two SW updates so far and the best place for it is the bin. Worst device ever made.

                  Hi Folks,

                  Wonder if anyone can help me out? Ive been very interested in the Omnia HD but didnt upgrade my innov8 coz I heard the sound recording was rubbish. Can anyone who already has the upgrade tell me what the sound recording is like for the videos now? A bit better or top quality?? I dj and my friends use my phone to record me playing from time to time and I also do a bit of recording in nightclubs. How would the sound come out with the upgrade? My friend recorded me playing the decks with the iphone, the video was rubbish and laggy but the sound came out really well but when I used my innov8 the video was sweet and the sound rubbish! Annoying coz Im not a big fan of the iphone for my own personal use. I want sweet sound and video from my phone. Cant be annoyed carrying a video camera around everywhere I go!!!
                  Thanks

                    @Blackbagz
                    It's funny that you would even say that, because when these phones get a good needed update such as this, you think it's crap but when the iPhone gets an update about FINALLY being able to send picture messages, it's an awesome update? Care to explain that logic would you?
