Saying that, I actually found this article pretty interesting reading, so I take my opening gambit back.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
I'll be honest: I don't know how to read. :(]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
So isn't it kinda funny that repeating the same ideas over and over again is making you as redundant as you claim these N97 articles are?]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
Um, yeah, try reading any iPhone-related article and tell me you don't see the lame Apple bias accusations 1000x.

If you call this bias, I guess Engadget is biased towards Nokia...

though Engadget worships Apple. This is nothing compared to the Apple articles/comments on here.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
Yessireebob, I got a smartphone for the ages. Nokia can't go wrong producing these babies for high tech-loving guys like me. If those noobie, non-tech smartphone users can't figure out how to use a N97, too bad for them. They'll just have to be stuck using those shoddy, simplistic iPhones. Damn, they don't even have keyboards or flashes on them. Who the hell would buy a smartphone without a keyboard? Damn fools. My Nokia N97 is the best damn smartphone in the whole wide world and Nokia will sell millions of them. Now where did I put my stylus? Ma.... did you see my stylus anywhere around.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/ capacitive.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
such a shame that such a nice looking, solid phone with such good specs is let down by this old interface.. they really do need to follow some tips from the iPhone and Android.. (Android is new and even they've managed to create some UI improvements above the iPhone.. why can't Nokia with all their experience do the same? ]]>Jun 22nd 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
Ok, so if Nokia really would have taken 'the next step' they would have pusher Meamo on smartphones, but remember it's all politics :-P.

Anyhow, for a long time I indeed was intending to buy something running Symbian for my next phone, since I liked my N95. But the allround responsiveness of platforms such as Android and IPhoneOS on the 3GS have changed my mind (after I have compared the them, off-course).

BTW, I've never considere WinMO, my god what a horrible UI and only resistive screens :-O]]>Jun 22nd 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
There is no way in hell that slow interface and poor experience can stand up to the iPhone, Palm Pre, or any decent Android Phone. Nokia should dump that POS operating system and use their Tablet OS in their smartphones if they want to survive in the market.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
Chris seems to have no clue whatsoever about the smartphone market, Nokia or S60.

Nokia's most important phone ever?

It's just a stop-gap device, using a new (for Nokia) hardware format (touchscreen + physical qwerty) with very much last generation innards (a relatively low-clocked ARM11) and an O/S which is soon to be phased out entirely, in favour of its massively updated offspring, the first release of the Symbian Foundation O/S, which will feature a significantly different UI for touch devices, at the beginning of next year.

Seriously man, get a clue!]]>Jun 22nd 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
I've never owned an S60 device, I like the e71 and newer e72 devices, but the fact that Nokia might decide to start charging for their push email service makes me just want to get a trouble free Blackberry.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/Jun 22nd 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/

That is essentially Nokia's dilemma. How can it appeal to a wider audience while remaining in the good graces of the people who made it the number one phone manufacturer in the world? Palm completely scrapped it's OS for something brand new but can Nokia take such a huge risk?]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
Let's not over-generalize: I've owned several Symbian devices and after N95 swore that was the last time I trusted them with my money. Been very happy with iPhone ever since...]]>Jun 22nd 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/nokia-n97-review-a-tale-of-two-bloggers/
It's unfortunate that the only realistic way to do that on a platform supported by third party apps is to trash your old OS and build another from scratch, but that's what it takes to survive. Microsoft refused to realize that which is why I dumped WinMo for Android and didn't look back.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 4:41PM
