N97 was a disaster when it came out in june 2009. They fixed most software problems with the new firmware, but not hardware problems(obviously). It has an outdated processor without gpu, has a small ammount of free ram and NAND memory. It's not worth its current price, 350€.

A Nokia Windows Mobile 7? Stop dreaming !
May 11, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: BlackBerry, Communicator, Microsoft, Nokia, RIM, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone
Microsoft has just ported its Office Communicator suite to Symbian and Nokia will offer it from its Ovi store to E72 and E52 users.
Some already foresee that the next move will be a WiMo device from Nokia. > See telecom.com article.
I believe they are totally misunderstanding this move.
First, there is already a communicator client for 18 months for … BlackBerry devices. > See RIM website
Microsoft is just adapting its product to the demand and Nokia is the main player in the enterprise space with RIM.
Secondly, this is an acknowledgement that Microsoft has failed with Windows Mobile in the enterprise market. Anyway Microsoft is no longer interested in this market : with its Kin devices and Windows Phone 7 OS, Microsoft is now focusing on consumers from 10 to 40 years old.
At the launch of Windows Phone 7, by the end of 2010, CIO will have no choice but to stay with the ageing WM6.5 platform or migrate to another one but definitely not WM7 as there will be no way to run the business application they have developed internally and even worse no way to side load them. Hence, one can expect very strong enterprise sales from RIM and Nokia in Q4 and Q1. (buy some shares ;-) )
What is really puzzling, is the Microsoft approach to the mobile market. They are always chasing someone: previously RIM, now Apple and Android but never following their own way. Let’s bet that if they change their mind again in 18 months from now, gaining back the CIOs to Windows Mobile will be tough.

Nokia is the largest phone maker in the world with a 38% global share on the cellphone market. Edit: Nokia’s latest numbers show a 36% worldwide market share. You would expect the Finnish-based company to do just fine on one of the most important markets in the business, however, Nokia only has a 5% market share in the US. In North America consumers prefer smartphones and Nokia didn’t make market its good smartphones so far except for the Nokia N900 which is not available yet, but could be shipping sometime November.
This is about to change as earlier this year, Qualcomm was joined the Symbian Foundation board. Apparently, Nokia and Qualcomm agreed to developed a Snapdragon-Symbian powered smartphone for the US market, and to make things even better (or worse), the handheld will not be sold unlocked: it will might go to AT&T.
I’m not a big fan of AT&T, but it’s better than an unlocked phone in terms of pricing because nobody would pay $700 on an unproven Nokia phone when they can buy the iPhone 3GS or the upcoming Motorola Droid for only $199.
Edit: If you want to buy an unlocked phone for big money, then this is not my business. It’s your money and it’s your call, however, most people buy subsidized phones which can disrupt a phone’s core.
In order to make the Finnish-company successful in the US, Nokia’s CEO needs to take a different approach on the US market because this market is unique and you need a perfect strategy to conquer the US market once again. Edit: Nokia’s Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo shouldn’t take Apple’s Steve Jobs example in terms of marketing, and could use Verizon’s advertising strategy for the Motorola Droid.
What do you think? Would you consider a Symbian-based Snapdragon-powered Nokia phone from AT&T? What specs would you like to see on such smartphone?

The Nokia S Series was leaked last week, but other than the name, and the fact that there’s something to differentiate it from all of Nokia’s Symbian based handsets, we don’t know a lot about it. We do think that Nokia S Series phones will run MeeGo, however. Join us after the break to find out what else we’d like to see on S Series devices…
The Nokia S Series first surfaced last week, when a promotional pamphlet was doing the rounds. With a slide denoting all of Nokia’s different ranges – from the Nokia E Series to the Nokia N Series – the mystery Nokia S Series also made an appearance.
In a strange step, the Nokia S Series was separate from the rest of the ranges, making us think there’s something special about it. With all the other handsets in the slide running Symbian, we think the fact the S Series is separate means that it runs MeeGo. There are loads of other things we’d like to see, however.
Nokia S Series makes an appearance
It’s always been expected that the Maemo based Nokia N900 will eventually run MeeGo, but it would be nice to see a whole range of smartphones running this smarter than smart Open Source OS.
Rather than just having one handset with a bulky QWERTY keypad, we’d also like to see a touchscreen only MeeGo device in the Nokia S Series. Perhaps there’s also potential for a more traditional handset – with so much versatility from MeeGo Nokia would be virtually unlimited on the hardware side of things.
An entry-level S Series device is also an appealing prospect – we’ve seen Nokia do it before with Symbian devices such as the Nokia 5228, so there’s no reason it shouldn’t happen on a MeeGo device. With the world at your fingertips – and without having to pay a premium, we think it would sell by the bucket load.
Perhaps there could even be a MeeGo equivilent of the excellent Nokia N8. With its 12-Megapixel camera, anodised aluminium casing and stunning feature set, there’s lots to like about the Nokia N8 – would MeeGo make it even more appealing?
What do you think the Nokia S Series should feature? Just one high-end handset, like the Nokia N900? Or a whole range of handsets, with something for everyone?

Nokia is asking consumers to choose the design for its next smartphone in a bid to win them over amid growing competition from rivals. The manufacturer is asking customers to decide between three designs for its ‘ultimate concept phone’ as part of its ‘Design by Community’ project.
Nokia has been struggling in the face of tumbling profits and a poor selection of smartphones. According to a July YouGov survey, the number of consumers considering buying a Nokia handset has fallen 12% in recent months.
Nokia’s project, which kicked off in March this year, asked consumers to submit ideas and concepts for a new phone. More than 72,000 people responded. Consumers have so far voted for a four-inch capacitive display, open source operating system, unlimited multitasking, HDMI and 802.11 n/b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, Dolby Surround Sound, an eight-megapixel camera with 4x optical zoom and video recording.
The winning sketch will be transformed into a 3D render and shown on the Nokia Conversations blog.

GSM Online from Poland just published a video walkthrough of the Nokia N8 covering probably everything except the web browser and camera. You should watch it because the last segment shows Nokia Messaging breezing through emails. It’s great to preview these Nokia N8 videos as we get closer to the release date. It seems to get more responsive in each new video that pops up.

"We are approaching the end of this painful product transition at the high end of our product portfolio", says Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. He continues with a prediction "delivering the N8, with a high-quality user experience, will mark the beginning of our renewal. We will achieve our potential and regain high-end leadership in our industry."
We absolutely want to give Nokia the benefit of the doubt, but at the moment, this seems like a very optimistic prediction from Nokia's CEO. Although the N8 looks very interesting, it has not generated "envy" and "desire" as other recent handsets did – although there are N8 clones already. More importantly, it is powered by Symbian 3, which we consider to be out of the smartphone operating system race at this point (the N8 is the last N-Series Symbian phone). The early N8 previews were not positive.
And for sure, Nokia can move a lot of handsets around the world, but the question is: can Nokia make enough profits to stay in the race (Nokia’s smartphone profit is tiny, or non-existent)? So, far Nokia is trying to do the "right thing" by investing in handsets, OS and platform. However, this has not paid off in the past few years. At this point in time, it's hard to believe that the Nokia N8 can truly be the savior - but we are anxious to see it in action. Nokia's CEO is certainly betting big by making such a statement.

I simply don't understand the pricing of this phone N8. Why do Nokia make the price so low. It's many many times better than iphone4. And still cost less than half the price of iphone4. And unlike samsung Nokia will support this phone for many years.
