Nokia N97 problems, faults, Camera


My 1st N97 from 3G on the 26.06.09 didnt charge most of the time & crashed alot, I got an exchange handset straight away on the 01.07.09 which unfortunately still didnt work (all the home widgets keep disconnecting (saying loading all the time or blank) all of the pre-loaded games dont load (i just get white screen ) ? camera sometimes dont work (just get grey screen), facebook sometimes wont load, twitter & msn live have never loaded, tried loads of times. No n-gage support is “crazy” I connect to my router when im at home which i use with xbox live, wii, laptop & other phones no problem. Ive tried everything after a week of headaches & waitting for 3G to get more stock. I found that Boingo was the cause of some connection problems but all other faults + more still continue :-( Im getting my 3rd N97 on 10.07.09 but dont think it will work as firmware as not been updated yet going to have to send it back again… I saw this phone on youtube 6 months ago & could’nt wait for it to be released cant believe its so bad + when i called Nokia they said they cant do anything & that 3G need to sort it out ????????????? ZZZZZ Im about to pack up & move to the moon (sure 3 will say they cover 99.9.99.9% of it) nobody ever calls me anyway lol (funny now im always in that bloody 0.1%) In the end im thinkng of getting a Samsung Omnia II or i8910 HD both look great but i need a descent Sat-Nav as im runing TomTom 6 on N95 8bg) i aslo need lots of space for music & videos. The very few

    this phone is so useless. fukin the processor of the phone is so slow. a simple task just going on internet, crash/freeze most of the time.

    i have widgets problem and the camera cover scratches the lens? WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING A COVER IF THE COVER SCRATCHES THE LENS??? the silver chrome rims around the phone is so easily scratch too.

    Lastly, the video player is GREAT but cant play all format. only mp4 H.264. kinda piss off to convert all format.

    I have the same problem. Perhaps you have it solved already? or it may be a software problem because the cam is coming out. or can the problem be forgotten in the 2.0 update? would be glad if you write back to me. mfg niko

    the N97 is basically an expensive mistake if you buy it.. fm transmitter, which is a joke if your ariel is at the back of your car, NO INTERNET RADIO, widgets which crash, not that there are any good ones on OVI anyway. CPU that is slow, i.e. I can’t use a downloaded internet radio player with any other application open as the processor can’t handle it! lousy phone, and to think I have only ever had Nokia’s…. NOKIA YOU HAVE DISSAPOINTED ME!

    Wow, I’m really sorry to see this. My N97, RM-507, has been great aside from the camera lens scratches. I just wish Nokia kept a few things the same as the N95. Get that straightened out. I don’t know what the 3 network is doing to that phone but the unlocked version for the US is good.

    I had the same problem both with msn and skype and i am also with 3 network. I found a way to fix it though. I deleted the original applications and i downloaded compatible ones from the internet on my pc. Put them on the n97 and now works perfectly. Hope this helps.

    Man, don’t bother with this anymore. What you need to do is get a Samsung i8910 sim free… It’s a much better phone without all the Nokia bloat, and also it WORKS. Which is kinda nice.

    How do you make the update, on the Phone or with USB and you PC. I do it with the PC. Maybe is this the Problem.
