Stupid #$^#$ phone. I hope I can pawn it off on eBay the second the shipping notice comes in. I should have learned my lesson after the n85.]]>Jun 7th 2009 6:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 8th 2009 4:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/
Sorry this sounds like a Nokia ad now ;) - don't mean it to be that way, because Nokia have made their mistakes too, but the truth still is that Nokia (and Samsung and LG, too, to at least some degree) started doing things that North Americans are only now realizing a cell phone can do already 5-8 years ago. Stuff like no copy-paste until the most recent OS, no video recording, no multitasking, no Flash, only 2mp camera etc have made me laugh at the iPhone ever since it came out - even though the iPhone UI has, admittedly, been great for other reasons.

The Pre is a welcome addition to the market in the US, but the CDMA phone that Sprint offers doesn't work globally and doesn't get the same quality of connection as Nokia HSDPA 3G phones do.

The iPhone/Pre/BB craze in NA now is great, as it will eventually bring North American markets closer to where Europe and Asia have already been for years, but nothing's gonna make me buy an iPhone, a Pre or a WinMo device over the new Nokia N97.]]>Jun 7th 2009 7:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/
It does sound like a Nokia ad. But what you fail to mention is they have been doing 'it' for years now, but they have been doing 'it' poorly for years now. Bottom line is N97 old symbian OS is NOT even in same ballpark as Iphone or Pre and there is no arguing that. It does not matter if you have 10MP camera,video, multitasking etc if the overall experience is crap. Don't even get started on the download app store etc. They have a resistive touch screen on 5800, why would they ever make that choice in todays market. Nokia only makes good cheap phones, they are way back in smartphones now. Its all about the OS these days...

There are a couple of billion reasons in China and India.]]>Jun 8th 2009 12:07AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 7th 2009 7:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 7th 2009 11:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/]]>Jun 8th 2009 7:45AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://www2.nokia.de/landingpages/n97presales/]]>Jun 8th 2009 1:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 8th 2009 4:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 8th 2009 7:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/07/amazons-nokia-n97-release-date-slides-back-to-june-30/Jun 9th 2009 9:41PM
