I have had this phone for a week now & I love it as I can watch you tube, you can browse the Internet fast but make sure that you transfer the installed application from c memory to phone memory just mark all & move to phone memory or memory card.

You can get all the application in ovi store there are free application, you can have yahoo messenger as well, video streaming is good as I watch bbc an some tv channels on my N97, I have a facebook which I love it & I am on line all the time. Friendly user, camera is good as well.

There are many features.

Not compatible to flash player & divx but you can watch you tube.

I love N97.

Its almost here! Only time will tell if all the hype was justified.

My only hope it that Nokia have ironed out all bugs before releasing this super phone, unlike so many of the N90 predecessors

I've been waiting for this phone since December, seeing the Nokia promos & various other demos this phone looks the daddy! Who wants an iPhone when you could have one of these!

When I get my hands on one I'll be letting you know how I get on.

I have had my N97 now since Friday & I am loving it. It does the lot & with mail on 3 that pushes my email to my phone so I can then see it with the email widget is brilliant. Not to mention FaceBook being updated without having to enter it.

All I can say is I am simply loving it what mobile phone makers in the future can do to top this I have no idea.

Received it on Friday, swapping it monday! Very disappointed, mainly because of the interface, maybe Nokia designed it way to early? Going to get the Touch Pro 2 which in my mind blows it out of the water.

How do you give a phone any kind of rating when you haven't used the phone yet? Explain this to me. Wishful thinking? the reviews I've read from people who have actually used the phone haven't been stellar. I give the phone 50's across the board because I am not informed enough to make an intelligent review.

So far so good but how come Nokia would not include the ability to lock applications via password protection to discouraged unauthorized user from viewing or modifying contact information or am I missing some prints?

All cretid to Nokia for making this phone. Excellent features, increadible fast Internet. Blows HTC's push Internet away. Best smart phone designed so far. Does everything you expects it to do & more & it does it superbly. I was looking to buy the HTC Pro 2 but after I tried the prototype of this phone there was no question that this phone is the top in its class.

The Nokia N97, good enough to become phone of the year?

Many people are excited about the upcoming release of the Nokia N97, saying it's the most powerful Nokia phone ever; but is it really good enough to become the phone of the year?

Nokia N97, what makes it so special? the Nokia N97 shocked a great many people when it was announced at the tail-end of 2008, & the main reason for the excitement it's generated is that it's the second mainstream touch screen phone Nokia have ever made (the first being, of course, the 5800). Like the 5800, the Nokia N97 uses the sleek, intuitive Symbian S60 Touch interface, making for a touch screen experience that is both simple, & entertaining. Unlike its predecessor, however, the Nokia N97 also includes a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, so that after you've navigated through the cool menus, actually typing that text message or email is going to easier than ever.

Nokia are billing the N97 as a true mobile multimedia computer, a view backed up by the keyboard & incredible interface. However, the Nokia N97 also has its fair share of features to earn that title. You get a 5 megapixel camera for pin-sharp photos, you get a superb multimedia centre, that makes music & movies so compelling, & best of all, the Nokia N97 has a massive 32Gb of built in memory, in order for you to actually store all your photos, movies & music. You also get HSDPA Internet access, at true broadband speeds, & GPS.

However, as you're about to see, if the questions whether the Nokia N97 is the best phone of the year, Sony Ericsson may have put a fly in the ointment of those aspirations.

Sony Ericsson Idou is the N97's greatest enemy. The Nokia N97 may be the most powerful phone ever made by the Finnish manufacturer, but the fact is that the upcoming Sony Ericsson Idou not only beats it in certain key areas, but absolutely trounces it in one of them. The N97 from Nokia, & the Sony Ericsson Idou both share the Symbian S60 Touch interface, but on the Sony, they've added a custom front-end, that's designed for direct multimedia interaction, combined with luscious, flowing visuals. In terms of the interface, the Sony Ericsson Idou is easily the more visually impressive of the two, & although it lacks a keyboard, it makes up for that shortcoming by being fast, compact & incredibly sleek. &, to top it off, the Sony Ericsson Idou has one feature that the Nokia can't even touch: its camera. There's a simple reason for that, as the Sony Ericsson Idou is the first UK, announced phone to have a 12 megapixel camera. One thing's for sure, though. The fight between these two heavyweights is going to be one worth watching!

Well, well. This is what I've been waiting for! Haven't had a chance to try it but this is the one on my list in June. If you want an 8 megapixel camera, then the Nokia's not for you. But boy are you missing out.

It's the best phone so far & I was lucky enough to review the prototype for Nokia! This phone is definitely worth it! It's an iPhone killer. Who cares about it missing 3 more mega pixels it's still a better camera than most. & the reason that it doesn't have 8MP is because it was developed a lot earlier & if you want an 8MP phone then get a Sony Ericsson c905!

Good phone but it is not the best. Will, I was waiting for better camera 8 MegaPixel. But Nokia done the wrong thing.

I've been lucky enough to have a play with the prototype of this phone last week.

Quite simply put it is awesome!

It probably won't be released until May or June 2009 so the wait is going to kill me!

It's a big phone but the extra bulk is worth it for its vast amount of features. It's a true Swiss army knife of a phone.

I am sure the spec junkies won't be happy with this phone, especially those that think more megapixels equals a better phone.
