Gallery and thoughts - N97 and N86
July 4th, 2009
Dotsisx warns us at the beginning of her post on Symbian Guru that it’s going to be ‘heavy’ and drops the bomb that the gallery is going to be in retro black and white. Fair play.
So what do you think? Is black and white the way to go for modern galleries? What about the devices themselves? Head over and share your thoughts with Dotsisx.

Teaching with the E75
July 3rd, 2009
Kuzma has joined the Teach The Technophobe challenge, and has posted about what he’s expecting over the coming weeks.
He reckons the project is a ‘fantastic idea’, and has signed up his friend Eddy as his Technophobe and while he eagerly awaits his first challenge, has given his thoughts on the E75. Kuzma says it is an ‘absolute blast to use’ and as he’s currently toting an E71 will be able to make comparisons between the two devices.

Living with the N97
July 2nd, 2009
Rajat Agrawal of CellPassion has got his hands on an N97, and will be keeping a daily log of his use, asking the question of whether it lives up to the title of being ‘the global leader’s flagship device’.
Rajat finds the slide mechanism of the screen ‘smooth and addictive’, but despite being impressed by the QWERTY keyboard, he finds the touchscreen to be less responsive than he’d like.
Head over to follow Rajat’s daily progress and share your experiences of the N97 with him.

Initial N97 thoughts and unboxing photos
July 2nd, 2009
Dogmann has got his hands on the N97, and with the firmware well and truly updated, had posted his initial thoughts on the Mobile Review forum.
From the ‘nice and tactile and solid’ build quality to his take on the keyboard, he certainly covers all the bases, and covers them in detail. His take, by the way, is that it is ‘quite easy to get used to’. He also covers the music player and camera, with screenshots and sample images. Good stuff.
What do you think of the device? Head over to the thread and have your say.

Nokia N97 review
June 29th, 2009
On the S60 blog, Sehaj has written about his experiences of the first few days using the N97 device. There is so much packed into this ‘solid and well built device’ that he is almost left feeling bogged down by it at first. He is ‘super impressed’ by the QWERTY keyboard, describing it as ‘perfect’, and also feels the touch experience of the device is ‘amazing’. However, he is left disappointed by the sound quality of music played through the device and the lack of flash on the camera.
How have you found the N97? Share your experiences with Sehaj.

The Judge gets the E63
June 29th, 2009
Over at The Best Judge, the man himself JudgeG has got his hands on an E63, and isn’t he happy about it?
The first thing he says about the device is that it’s ‘fabsational’, and when someone goes the extra mile and invents an adjective, you know you’re on a winner. He loves the color, the fact it can be used as a torch - he just loves the fact that it’s ‘pretty and shiny and uber-cool’. In fact, he’s one happy camper.
Have you gone gaga over the E63 like JudgeG? Head over and let him know.

Over at My Nokia Blog, Jay has got his hands on a white N97, and has published his first thoughts, along with the unboxing video:
His initial thoughts are that the slide is as smooth as one of those ‘expensive soft close kitchen drawers’. High praise, but he’d still prefer it in black.

Trent Smith has got his hands on an N97, and has posted his detailed unboxing video:
Following his excitment at getting hold of the device, he posted his thoughts after having a good look round all of its facets. The keypad gave him some concern, but the 5MP camera seemed a welcome addition. And all this without even turning it on!
