Anonymous, 04 Aug 2010Thank you for helping my ignorance. :)
How are you findi... moreWhen I bought the phone I knew its only limitation. I knew that the OS was new and there weren't many apps available. But Galaxy S costs 100€ more that wave and it doesn't have LED Flash. I played with a lot of apps on my N95 and it seemed a little boring. I have a laptop as my primary mobile device and I seldom use my smartphone to browse the internet. I needed a good Music player, video player and a top notch camera with flash and video light. The hardware is top. It's almost the same hardware as on the Iphone plus SuperAMOLED minus girosensor minus high definition.
For the price, 350€-400€, it's the best value for money on the market. You should read the review and decide if it meets your needs. I certainly don't regret buying this phone.
N8 looks good btw. Too bad it's 450+ € after the tax.

Anonymous, 04 Aug 2010I am sorry but my question was only aimed at nokia enthusia... moreI don't have had any hanging experiences yet. It has been running on now for 1 week and all is stable and well. The only gripes I have with it, is the somewhat short battery life (1 or 2 days with moderate to heavy use), and the sometimes inconsistent menu clicking behaviour (some items require double tapping). I like the keyboard though..
With respect to lagging. The only time I really have to wait for the phone to do something is when it is building thumbnails to view pictures in the camera folder (this takes a few seconds for 20+ photo's). Strangely, if you go to fullscreen view, the iPhone-like picture (and movie) scrolling is very fluent and fast..

Samsung Wave owner, 04 Aug 2010Oops, 13 mb of free memory seems to be incorrect. My bad. S... morein my experience with the n97 (i had it for about 4 months before losing it), the free c drive memory was about 40mb. you can install most apps on mass memory, but some apps (eg nokia messaging) has to be put on c memory. there are a few tips on how to maximise c memory (just google it), but at the end of the day it was a terrible decision from nokia to put so little c memory on a phone with 32gb of internale storage!

Oops, 13 mb of free memory seems to be incorrect. My bad. Still, there were numerous complains about the lack on free C:\ and about how the system quickly filled all the free space and needed a hard reset once in a while to regain space.

Anonymous, 04 Aug 2010I am sorry but my question was only aimed at nokia enthusia... morei had an n97 until january this year (when i lost it), and i got it despite all the bad press around it. unfortunately, i should have listened to that bad press because that phone gave me nothing but trouble. i did need to hard reset weekly, as the phone would freeze and wouldnt power on again. of course you can easily backup on a memory card and reinstall after reset, but i was doing that so frequently. keep in mind however that that was before the major firmware 2.0 update was available. today, i would expect that the n97 is a more stable phone, but it is hard for me to recommend a phone that hung daily. i hear that the n97 mini is much more reliable and stable, so if i were you i would go for the mini instead, if you really cant wait for the n8 and want a new phone now.

The system takes about 243 mb. That leaves you with 13 mb free on C: to install programs etc. N97 mini, however, has 512 mb of system memory. That gives you 269 mb of free NAND memory.
N97 users always ran out of C: memory on their devices.

The fact that I own a samsung smartphone doesn't mean that I'm a samsung fan. I still own a nokia n95-1. When my n95 started to crash few times a day after I dropped it accidentally (my fault, I know), I started looking for a nokia replacement. N97 was panned by critics and users, so I decided to buy another company's flagship.

And about the N8. It looks terrific. I just think Nokia would do themselves a big favour if they make it upgradeable to Symbian 4. They cant even imagine what it will do to their sales !!

In N97 mini nokia doubled NAND memory (C drive in your phone). Now it has 270+ MB of free memory instead of 13 MB on n97. This makes for a more reliable phone.
Still, you can get a much better smartphone for the money.

@Rene
Do you face any problems with the mini ? Lagging ? Hanging ? I have always been a big reader of the symbian-guru blog you know. And they had mentioned that N97 needs a hard reset every week or so.
I love nokia btw, I want to get the N8 when it releases, between that time, I need a phone obviously. I thought about getting an N97 purely because I have to see to believe what others say about it. ( Also, i need a phone lol )
Please reply ! Thanks.
