Flashback: Nokia N97 was an "iPhone killer" that helped kill Nokia instead

22 November 2020
Touch support on Symbian S60 was the proverbial lipstick on a pig. Neither Nokia's hardware nor its software were ready for the modern digital era.

Whackcar, 22 Nov 2020Say what you will about Nokia, but their N-Series phones we... moreI had the N81 which had the extra buttons for gaming purposes. It was a nice portable emulation machine, but the build quality wasn't good. Didn't even last two years of careful use, until it became to fell apart (and the screen "cable" kept creating a black screen issue). Symbian overall was nice, but as I used my phone as a music player... The whole OS used to freeze if I scanned for new tracks that I had added to the SD-card. :D But when the phone worked, it was a good device.

    Say what you will about Nokia, but their N-Series phones were awesome. I have fond memories of using the N95. It was a brilliant phone back in the day.

      And silly people today blame Nokia for the bad phones created by HMD.
      Nokia logo is just naming rights.
      They do not develop the phones.
