I bought this phone last sunday straight from Nokia (Original Raoul Version). Did the initial charging and used it for 1 day and then the phone got hang. I tried to reset it but still the same. The screen was not functioning at all.

Sent it to te Nokia care centre. At 1st they said it was a software problem so they reinstall everything back. After 2 hours i collected the phone and switched in on in front of them and the problem was not rectified. The screen was still not functioning and there was an system error message.

N then they said i had to leave my phone for 2 or 3 days. Called them after 2 days to ask what was the problem. They said it was a hardware problem and that they have to replace the motherboard. This is totally a manufacturing default. They should be replacing a brand bew phone for me. But instead they told me i had to wait for another 4 days for it to be done.

What the F**K!! I spend a lot on this phone and used it for ONE DAY!! There is no way i drown the phone, let alone dropped it!

So in my opinion, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE or you'll end up being disappointed like me.

Oh by the way, i lodged a complaint to NOKIA. And i do hope they will do something about this or i will do more than just complaint.

            iheartdran, 14 Jan 2010is it true that the phone has a short battery life? pls ans... morebase on my experience, this phone will only stand a whole 24 hours of usage. for me that is good enough, as i always get to charge before i go to sleep. well about my usage, i use the phone for calling about 2 hours a day, texts a lot, but then use wifi for just about 10 minutes.

                  Anonymous, 14 Jan 2010you need to put some patience ion this phone, like waiting ... morei know what you're talking about, i also had same issues on my mini not being able to reboot. I have then found out whats causing it, it seems like a bug on putting wlan scanning in one of your widgets. sometimes it stucks on searching wireless signals, which causes it to drain up the battery life and thus preventing the phone to reboot. removing the wlan from the widgets list then eliminates the problem.

                          171171, 13 Jan 2010I have an upgrade due soon and usually only ever use nokia.... morei have an N97 and it is just fantastic.
                          nothing bad about it

                          i personally havent used a Moto Dext/Cliq or any android device yet but from my experience of the N97, it is brilliant. it may have its flaws but once u use it, these flaws are so minimal

                              I have an upgrade due soon and usually only ever use nokia. I am now torn between the Motorola Dext and Nokia N97 but have read bad reports on the n97. Could anyone give their opinion to sway me 1 way or the other.

                                    vj, 13 Jan 2010n97 mini is the best compare to 97 Differences from the s... morelarger c drive
                                    have screen display brightness issue
                                    have no official skype yet( does nokia promise it in mini model as well?)

                                    no wow factor
                                    webbrowser sucks loading page is damn slow
                                    compact and good for portability

                                    if it uses resistive multitouch technology, then it can wow the users
                                    if it uses omap3 processor. Will much reduce the complaint

                                      n97 mini is the best compare to 97
                                      Differences from the standard N97:

                                      Here are a few things that are different in the new N97 mini:
                                      Slightly smaller and more compact form factor
                                      Slightly smaller display (3.2" vs. 3.5") but with the same resolution
                                      Poorer display visibility under sunlight
                                      D-pad removed from the keypad and replaced with four way navigation keys
                                      Space bar has now been enlarged
                                      Lens cover has been removed
                                      Slider opens at a lower angle
                                      Built-in memory reduced from 32 GB to 8 GB
                                      No FM transmitter
                                      No TV-Out cable, charger adapter, cleaning cloth, stylus or carry case in the bundle
                                      Higher quality supplied headset
                                      Better range of built-in apps in the N97 mini
                                      Smaller battery (and hence lower battery life)
                                      Lower price
