Picked up a N97 White on Saturday its awesome, glad I waited.
Not crahsed on me yet use either touch screen or keyboard which is easy to use although looks small.
Iplayer loads super quick as does the constant update on Facebook on the home page.
Alot harder to text with whislt driving so I have given up.... GOOD TIMES!

I want a really good internet capable phone, and it seems to be between the Iphone, the N97 or the HTC Touch Pro 2... I had a Blackberry storm, but it was wank so I sent it back . Still on the trusty old N95 Silver at the moment, but I am out of contract so can go to anyone I like

I was offered Ł150 on my old n95 8gb but declined as it is awesome and will come in handy as a workshop phone.

How fast is the internet access on it ? I don't find my 8gig N95 all that at times even when connecting to my own network in the house.
Either way I need a new phone as the screen is seriously scratched on mine now

Just done a test, from the home/stand by screen on the 8GIG, to the time this site(mobile version) is fully loaded and ready to go was 15 seconds

not a bad phone, fm transmitter is a nice touch. Pity the DVT receiever is useless in this country. However, the HTC Diamond, Palm pre, and HTC Touch pro 2 are far superior phones.

N Series DO NOT COMPARE TO THE iPHONE!!!
N Series phones are the only phone that actually have top notch build Quality. Every other Nokia phone has a shit feel to it. The Symbian operating system is good but VERY unstable. It slows down alot once applications are installed.
However, iPhone has a bullet proof OS Software and applications run alot smoother than any nokia i have owned. The Standard phone is grea but Jailbreaking it makes the phone ALOT BETTER!!!
The new iPhone 3GS is a master piece as a standard handset. But again, Jail Breaking it makes the phone alot better.
I'm just waiting on my replacement handset to arrive since my own was stolen by a Somalian cunt who hand smahed the screen once we hand caught him

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Good phones. typing on mine as we speak. internet is much much faster than my old n95 8gb on both 3.5g and on wifi. fm transmitter is pretty good. works perfectly with the sterio in the m3. it can be a little slow, but doesnt concern me. as a few others said its easy to text but you need 2 hands.
You wouldnt catch me with an iphone... Im just not a lover of anything apple and they way the lock them down etc. just my opinion before all the iphone geeks go mental..... same as xbox vs ps3 hahahaha

as far as i'm aware push texting is not supported by the n97. so you must manually log in and check your emails. the iphone and blackberry's just tell you like a text message and the blackberry works with 2 or 2 email accounts at once.

Having had an I phone and now the N97, I would be interested to know what the iPhone fans think it has over the N97?
I didn't get rid of the iPhone because I thought it was crap, its because Im a seasoned nokia / symbios user and couldn't live with the apple interface.

o2 wont be selling the n97, they dont list it on their website so i ordered mine through dial a phone only for the order to be cancelled and told that o2 wont be offering it on their network
so i had to order mine on vodafone, got it yesterday, its good but a few things are a bit annoying
txting is a bit more involved due to the touch screen like luca said
removing the memory card is a pain, u have to press the power button, select remove memory card, take off the back cover, remove the memory card then click ok and when u reinsert the memory card if your wallpaper picture is on it then you have to reset it to get it to display again
the bbc iplayer and youtube vids quality is not that good, i know bbc i player quality is not brilliant on a pc but it seems worse on the n97
oh and the keyboard is a bit small for my chubby fingers
other than that its great

Iphone 3GS, using wifi, it takes 10 seconds to load the passionford.com homescreen in full from the springboard.
With regards to internet browsing, there isnt a mobile device on the market that surpasses the iphone, and I used to be a WinMob fanboy. The 3GS makes it that much more faster at rendering webpages and using forums as well.
You're welcome to come and try it Will if you want a go ..
