i reckon they, the nokia should show some respect to their loyal customers by offering an upgrade and recall da n97
Hi all.
I couldn't read all the posts, but i can tell you the reason which probably, n97(and, all the other phones) has problems.(at least, the most of the problems)
If i am wrong, tell me but don't shout.So, generally, the most problems on mobile phones, probably caused by apps.Maybe it's a little bit strange that i'll say, but, the best is to, don't install any app to our phones! I believe that, isn't good/'healty' for mobiles, to install apps.If we didn't install apps to our phones, i think that the phones would freeze very seldom.
I hope i'm not wrong

Interesting theory. So we might as well go back to using the basic mobile phones and carrying diaries, organizers, portable game consoles, sat nav system, personal stereos and radios, laptops for things like facebook and twitter for those of us wanting constant connection.
This is a smartphone mate it is meant to handle it all.

Nokia 3310-> 8810->N95->N95 8Gb->
Nokia N97 Black v11.0.021
Yes, it's a smartphone. That's the reason which these phones (generally, about Nokia smartrphones) have super cameras with xenon flash(mine has xenon flash, the other dual led), a-GPS/GPS, maps, excellent screen analysis, quickoffice, adobe reader, lifeblog, n-gage, visual radio, the download! app etc .
The simple cell phones, haven't got great feautures like smartphones.It isn't meant that, we have to filling them with applications and games. By itself a smartphone, has enough things and great feautures.It doesn't need to add apps. And for games, if you buy & install games from n-gage, there is no problem.

interesting words phonehacker.
but maybe you first talk to nokia.
because they just created ovi to SELL their apps.
they make money with these apps we are supposed to
install on the phones.
and well, there ARE a lot of phones which CAN handle apps
very well.
ps: so did my n95. never had a reset, no hangups, no glitches.
Yes i don't disagree. I'll try to explain better what i meant about the apps.Lets suppose that we have two N95 phones. They have the same firmware version, and installed the same apps. It is possible, the one N95 to has/face some/a problems/problem with the apps, and the other to be okay. I want to say that, that i said (it's better to don't install any app to our phones) doesn't force for all phones. There are phones in which you can install few apps, and phones which are sensitive to apps. Probably the most of mobile phones aren't sensitive to apps (and that's probably the normal), but if you want to be very sure, don't install apps

but then, alone from the definition of an application (which is only loaded during runtime and doesnt affect the OS in ANY ways else) it should harm any OS. i bet my n95 was more stable with tons of apps installed then my n97 is
dont mix up applications with drivers. on windows it might be true what you say, since applications can install
dll libraries which are not statically compiled in but loaded during runtime. and several apps and sometimes the
OS are depending on one dll which is a library loaded when needed. this means that if an app installs another version of the dll all the other apps and even the OS will use another dll from that moment on too. (except for windows vista and 7, which are bloated up to 15 GB on your drive, since they keep all versions of dlls for different apps -> winsxs folder).
but for symbian this is somehow different also symbian apps are not allowed to install drivers or any libs within the operating system range. which in return means that no app can really harm your OS (how it should be!) but only can consume needed space on your drives. (which is bad for the n97 c: drive as we have all seen so far 
)
so, basically i agree with you in this point when it comes that an app consumes too much ram or space on the c: drive
(which is rather crippled on the n97).

try this
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
dont forget to say thanks
