want to put a film or 2 on it to keep away the boredom when at work will it be easier to to get a sd card if so what size do i need?

btw its an awesome phone

 

They have 32gb internal memory. No need for an SD card.

BTW I got my N97 this week too and have to agree it's an awesome phone.

Also I haven't found a program to run films, but I believe DIVX are creating one.

 

do you mean what size Gigabyte or do you mean like micro sd, that sort of thing. if you mean memory size I'm sure you can pretty much whack whatever size ya like in it. 8gb maybe, depends on how much stuff ya wanna put on it.. am i right in saying there 16 or 32gb internal memory anyway???

 

oh sorry this message wasnt on ere when i typed my last.. 32gb thanks

 

ment to add my mate works for nokia and he said not to load up in internal memory as it slows it right down also thought it woul be easier to put it on a card as i am shit at anything to do with adding stuff to the phone

oh and i love the fm transmitter with all 4 of my tracks

 

Forgot to mention, if you manage to fill the 32gb then you can buy a 16gb external micro SD for extra storage

 

am trying 2 load music on mine, the nokia software slows my comp rite down tho!

 

Yeah fantastic phones, i had a play with on earlier on

Still happy with my n95 8gb though

 

Should be a piece of piss, just find out what file formats the N97 supports and covert accordingly...

 

N97 should play MPEG-4 files.

I've got the Nokia 5800xm, converted Snatch from .avi to mpeg-4 and that works, good quality as well

 

What did you use to convert avi to mp4?

 

your mate means the internal phone memory that the phone uses to run! Not the storage memory. If you put a card in it, the phone will have 3 memory locations. 1, the card. 2, the phones mass memory. 3, the phone memory. The phone memory is the smallest as it's only there to run the phone and the odd application but by all means use the mass memory as much as you want.

 

I'm getting one of these this week on Skodaphone

MP3/WMA/WAV/eAAC+ music player
- WMV/RealVideo/MP4 video player

Does the Nokia Video Manager in Nokia PC suite do the job for this phone as it did for the N95 ?

Otherwise you'll have to find an avi - mp4 converter.

 

What colour phone have you lot gone for?

I chose black myself, looks a lot more sophisticated and less tacky.



Just noticed, that slide button on the bottom, looks a bit loose.

 

I've ordered a white one and bought a case off ebay for Ł1.99 and free postage.

My Nokia N97 didn't survive Ultimate Street Car 2007 and I'm not letting anything happen to this phone !

 

You had a N97 back in 2007.... Fuck I've just bought old technology

 

ive just asked the same question about the format ? ive got a convertor for the films etc , i will check what its called and post it up mate , then just search for a free download

im on my birds laptop and the progs on mine at home lol

 

The nokia suite converts AVI to Mpeg 4. I've just done one now, but the picture quality isn't that great to be honest.

 

get a psp mp4 converter works great and really nice quality, i did Tron for a test and came out 1.2gig but is really hi quality

the program is called PSP VIDEO 9 and recently been updated.
www.pspvideo9.com
i spent months testing out other converters and found this one to give out the best quality, make sure you use mp4 AV (Advanced Video) as i worked on Tron for a guide as it had many lines to draw and the other encoders they still looked jaggy and dull, also managed to get it full screen on the psp, psp video 9 just had the best aspect ratio for this screen.. try it out and see how you get on

 

My car is a Delorean

I meant the N73

 

Just google mp4 converter. Put yes man on mine yesterday... Quality is superb!

Just discovered when at home connected to wifi i can download bbci player stuff to watch later! Watched last weeks hotel bablon on the train home yesterday

still finding the keyboard a bit weird... Really hard to do it on the move.. Ie walking etc

just out of interest for the vodafone boys whats the cheapest you've managed 2 et them down to on a contract?! Trying to get them to Ł30 or below and the phone for free but their not having it at the mo as my bills havnt been to bad for a while

 

my vodafone contract is 300 x net mins, unlimited txt and unlimited internet Ł30 a month and i paid Ł30 for the phone, all through dial a phone

 

Just out of curiosity. Are your phones network branded or sim free?

 

mine has the vodafone start up logo but my o2 sim works in the phone fine

 

i just got on thurdsay from phones 4 u. its on orange but the phone is generic.orange havent released it yet.

 

Ditto, Just out of curiosity, what deal did you get?

Price p/m, mins/txts/unlimited internet and over what period?

 

60 p/m 3000mins/unltd txts/500mb tinternet 2 years deal

 

Yours seems a tad steep,but if your happy with it then cool

Mine was 45 p/m 1200 mins, unltd txts and internet, on an 18 month contract, but I also get a Ł5er back per month from phones 4 u. Did you put anything towards the phone? The phone was Ł100 but I paid Ł50 plus I traded an old 6230 in for an additional Ł50.

 

Vodafone, 600 min, unlimited text and internet Ł36 per month on 24 month contract and 3 months free insurance

Just putting some Jenna Jameson videos on it now

 

Not a bad deal mate, was the phone free?

 

Yes m8 And what a piece of kit it is

 

Just ordered mine today after reading some of your reviews, so if its shite your all to blame..........

1200mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet, free phone, 18 month contract Ł35.00 on orange

Didnt think that was a bad deal

 

wull going off the Above that is a Corker
of a Deal mister . . . .
These long contractsare a right con, so you cant flog yer old un afta 12 and get a new un
So that way, more folk who want one will have to get a new deal, which is a long one and blah ad infinituum corporate pockets are fuller. .
But 18 months is bearable..
I have the N95 and have had forever(it feels!) only prob is the batt, well its not the batt, its the fone, just uses batt fast, anyways, sounds like yer all happy with this 'un
Congrats

 

i get 600mins 600texts 20mins of video calls and internet all for Ł18 odd quid a month

 

how big is that phone ........ is it lot bigger the N95 8gb ?

mine will be here tomorrow..if it's too big ill send it back ...

marco

 

its a little bit bigger but its well worth it, well until the screen gets a dirty crack in it oops oh well will get a new one tomorrow

 

i got mine direct from vodafone. 12 month comtract 1200mins unlimited texts & unlimited internet. Its nice to be back into a 12 month contract. Love the phone. I found when you add music if you dont click on mass memory or data transfer etc & just go into my computer then you dont need to refresh the music library

 

nokia have become masters at that, 32gb internal memory but dont use it as the phone software is shite and cant cope with it so you then have to get a 32gb MicroSD card if you actually want to store anything on there..

Nokia really have gone down hill latelywith their phones, ok they shove all these new features on there but the phone itself is useless because the software is toss!

the N97 will accept a 32GB mocro SD card btw

 

Im torn between one of these and a blackberry, really not sure what to go for now!
I like the idea of the Blackberry IM, but the n97 kinda trumps it on most of the other bits n pieces.
