I have now exchanged my phone 3-times (because I purchased some extras for it already) and now I am giving up.

Nokia is no longer a solid developer of good phones.

I regard that the real problem is not only the design of the hardware (just using the small C flashdrive for programs) and the too slow processor but the software.
For instance quite often freezing, – only removal of battery will help – no backlight turning up, after message info (missed calls new messages) freezing, a stupid software design in many cases – (for instance trouble if you have more than email account or the need to retype all addresses stored in contacts again for the navigation system or the time difference of 1 hour when doing a syncro)
or the annoying thing that taking a call is a matter of luck when the phone is locked …

I will shop for a different one – but not any Nokia

Paid good money for a really bad phone. Phone, after latest firmware update reboots on answering an incoming call – interface speed is improved over previous firmware versions, but still lacking.

One previous commenter states that the phone should not be compared to IPhone… but then why are the phone trying to be like IPhone with its screen animations, transitions and finger movement options (like when answering the phone). So no sorry – from a strictly specification point of view it seems like a good phone, but yet again Nokia has made a hash of it ( my 3rd Nokia disappointment). Needless to say the support where I am leaves much to be desired…

Never say never, but this is the last time that I have supporting Nokia…

Ive had endless problems with the phone. Sometimes it turns off during a call for no apparent reasons. A real problem when driving as you then have to pull over to restart it and enter the pin etc. I use the voice activation on hand free. After a reboot it works for awhile and then wont dial alternative numbers. It often freezes and the only solution is to take the battery out and restart it. Some things work better after the upgrade but these seem to be only those operational quirks like having to reset date an time after each crash rather than the actual bugs.
Im really dissapointed. I used to have a phone running windows CE and that was a 1000 times better.

I did enjoy N97 for a few months then it started… The facebook software almost never works properly on this phone – problems with memory, ‘internal problem – please restart your phone’, etc. The next thing is that in 1 out of 5 restarts all messages are gone. I switched N97 off few days ago and, well, basically the phone has not worked since then. I cannot use most of the applications, it turns off when I try to call someone, the desktop is sometimes white, sometimes blue (instead of being black), in the middle of writing an SMS the SMS application quits working and the sms is saved in “working” file… ANd there is so much more wrong things with that handset! (Just to mention a funny one, recently it shows that it is in the process of charging the battery – the point is it shows that even if I am walking with the phone in the park). Used nokia products for 12 years, it is the highest time to become a loyal customer to another brand.
