The Nokia N97 remains the most gorgeous smartphone disappointment of my life.
@khouryrt At least I wasn't alone! I was so hyped and so disappointed that it was borderline depressing 🤣. Nokia marketing videos were a trillion times better than the real thing, the UI/UX was so pathetic that I couldn't believe it. For me, it was Symbian's death sentence.
@khouryrt I started following your articles on symbian guru because of this phone, of course using an RSS reader back then!
@khouryrt Gosh… lovely hardware. Simply lovely. Software needed a few revisions before it felt decent. But by then… 😞 Absolutely loved running a web server on the N97. Lost 27GB reformatting that N97 too 🙃
@khouryrt Especially the white version. Too bad they didn't release it again with all of the improvements that the mini got.
@khouryrt Same here. I bought it when it came out. I struggled with it for 2 months and then sold it and went back to the Nokia N80. The camera was pretty good Battery life was decent The slide mechanism was damn good! Keyboard was nice Touchscreen was HORRIBLE Software was unfinished
