[...] Firmware is also another reason why our opinion in certain parts of this review will be different from our First Impressions of the Nokia N97. [...]

I bought the N97 on impulse. I was really looking for a 6700 Classic since I'm partial to smaller and slimmer phones. However, I gave in to my greed for storage space and got the N97. I wish I read this review before I went and blew my savings on this phone. The things that I cannot stand are the exact same things you do not like about the phone. What sort of an nincampoop pairs a puny 74MB memory with 32GB storage space? I hope when you said 'should be downright fired' it was as in basted with Olive Oil and stuck in a kiln and baked to a golden crisp?

The N97 does not sync with my MacBookPro. But, that is not the worst of my migraines. I cannot get this infernal contraption to properly sync with my PC [Vista Home Premium 32-Bit running Outlook 2007) either. I have close to a thousand contacts in my address book and the idea of manually entering the information is reminding me of my last root canal experience.

All said, you people seem to know your phones and seem to speak it in ways impulsive idiots like me can understand. Next time I go looking for a phone (which might be very soon) I am going to check with you guys first before I sell my other kidney.

Thanks!

[...] ‘Build Quality is great. The N97 “feels” expensive (and it should at that cost). Others have said it before, and I can confirm that this Nseries device actually does feel like an Eseries. The build quality is that good.’ – Clinton Jeff, ZOMGitsCJ.com [...]

Hey there Vincent, I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

1. Our N97 unit is actually rock solid. No rattles or creaks at all in closed or open slider modes.

2. It appears that the "Smoky look" is due to the LED Flash themselves. I hope that Nokia will fix this in a future firmware update.

1) N97 does rattle when it is closed and shaken. Straage indeed, don't you think so?
But somehow it would rattle once the keyboard is slide out.

2) Occasinally there are white smoky look in the pictures especially on the side near to the LEDs flash when taken shots with it in a room with lights on at night time. Why is it so?

Yup, you can scroll with the Screen. The Dpad's also there for good measure, but scrolling using the touch screen is no problem on Quickoffice.

Thanks for the answers. So you can scroll through documents using the screen? On my E90 the only way is to use the ridiculous flat D-pad which moves down 1 line at a time – extremely frustrating.
