                      I bought this phone one week ago after reading all of your comments on GSMarena!! I'm happy to say that the phone is looking great and it feels awesome in my hand. The camera quality isn't that good when using indoors there's lot of noise in the pictures but the pics i took outdoors are great!! well you cant expect more from a 5mp camera!! The battery life sux have to charge the phone two times a day and i get a strange noise from the back of my N97 mini when its transferring data in a 3G network. other than that the phone is good, sound quality is awesome, and the touch sensitivity is also good. didn't restarted or didn't had any lags since the day i bought it.. the only problem is the BATTERY!!!

                      did any one else noticed that noise coming from the phone when its transferring data in a 3g network?
                      and how is the battery life for you gyz?

                      plz reply!!
                      thanks..
                      niki

                        Nokia N97 mini have poor battery lifespan... i just both it for almost a week and replace it since the battery were out for 4-5 hours when using GPRS.. But some user of this fon have good battery back up... but still dont just try your luck.. though u love the style of the fon you will not be able to enjoy your daily use of it coz you will be recharging it almost 2-3 times a day...

                            ya its battery life is less than a day,
                            it is quite slow, outdated,
                            it hangs and restarts very much
                            also touch is quite hard.

                            But n900 does not support java or midp and has few applications so nt good also maemo has som prob thats y nokia abandoned it.

                            and n8 does not have qwerty
                            necessary for smartphone

                            wishing nokia may upgrade n97 mini firmware from symbian 1 to symbian 3
                            plz its annoying to use symbian 1.

                            Hope E7 and N9 are good

                            sony lg htc r nt good coz android applications r nt dat practical and they r nt rough and tough than nokia.
                            I literally washed and banged my mini bt its still ok nokia should address its software problems please.

                              Hello,i want a suggestion.I am confused about buying among E71 and N97 mini..i read many opinions that N97 mini battery outcome is bad,but i really love this phone.The only reason i cant proceed to get it is the battery outcome and the battery outcome is really important for me.I love E71 for the only reason that it have a good battery outcome and other features too.Please suggest me with advantages and disadvantages for which one will i go.Thank you.

                                    i also make sure that i copy mp3 songs to the Sound Files folder and not the Music folder

                                      this phone is quite a lag.. when u upload any files from pc to this phone,it takes around 20-25 minutes to viewing from the phone..

                                      when ur smsing, or watch a video suddenly theres a call it might make the phone quite lag..

                                      dont be suprise when u put in and out songs from this phone,it might go error unless u download third party music player or just reformat it.. X____X

                                      BUT, the features inside are worth it.. video playback at 640x360 always in great viewing, sounds speaker and earphone jack really sounds great.. colors of display such a vivid even though its not amoled.. camera at 5mp doest dissapoint.. give u the best image for a 5mp pictures

                                        installed JoikuSpot on my N97 mini, now I can use my phone as a wifi router and connect my Acer laptop to the internet

                                        faster speed compared to Ovi or PC Suite methods of internet connection
