Nokia, I know you guys read this blog about the biggest disappointment in the History of Nokia (the N97). I want an exact release date of the next firmware and exact list of what is being done.. I cannot stand this RAM and C drive issues on this device.. I am using my n95-3 because N97 is not stable, not capable of multitasking, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc! I will soon trash it and record a video, or smash it on the wall.. The feeling of Smashing this phone on a wall well worths the 700$. Only reason I am not doing it because I am hoping The next firmware will give me at least 70mb free ram on boot and will clean up C drive from unwanted apps (adobe, jouki, boingo etc............. And therefore will give me at least 50mb free C!) P L E A S E list here nokia what is being worked on so i don't waste my time and totally switch back to my n95-3.

good luck you are not going to get it, nokia does not make such information public. so if you are lucky enough you can search the web for that info. the next update is RUMORED to be released around sept of this year. nothing else at present time is known. if you need to contact nokia directly use hte 'contact us ' button on the top right of this page to communicate with them. this is USER TO USER forum.

Thanks for quick respond.. I do know this is user forum.. When I post here I post here as a last resort.. If I post here BE SURE I tried that contact us button couple of times(for future reference)

ok as long as we are on the same page. so you have been around here for a while to also know that you will not get any answers to the questions you just asked until the firmware is official and perhaps posted on nokia conversations. if it is not posted there it will not be allowed on these boards. hence the google search for changelog is a better idea if you want to know the changes. you will not be able to get that info either right before it is released or when it is already released.

Well their normal procedure should not apply to N97 because N97 is acting like its a test device.. So they should let us know what they are doing to solve the million problems the device has.. I can understand and be perfectly ok with not knowing what is being done on N95 because it has always been perfecly functioning.. Nokia N97 needed to be released on 2010.. this device will be a joke for me until they have released 3 more firm update..

The phone works fine for me.  I'd like a little more free RAM - but it hasn't caused me a problem so far.

I felt exactly as you feel with my first handset which proved to be faulty. I am now on my second and it feels a lot more stable but still do get the odd issue here and there. The main problem for me is connectivity, I always have to re start the phone when I leave the house otherwise it will keep searching for my WLAN 20 miles away. Touch response is a little sluggish at times don't know wheather enviromental factors affect the screen in some way but I do hope they are looking into it. And like you said more RAM please. **bleep** is that Boing and Joikuspot for and how many people use them?

I wish people wouldn't blame the poor phone, when they don't read the manual properly. TURN OFF WLAN AUTO SCAN for goodness sake. Set the "default" access point in "WEB" to "Ask when needed", then choose whatever access point you want when you use the thing after you've left the house.

Jeez!

i was about to buy an N97, do you think its worth it still? at first i was really looking forward to getting this device but everyone seems to be complaining about the software

[radical24]

first of who is everyone, it is a handful of users. when you look at the amount of devices nokia sold for e and n series in the last few months and comapre to the amount of people that actually have issues the scale is much less then you think. not that is not to excuse the release of n97 and the consequences that end users have to endure in some cases. for a flagship it is a very very poor release, that said i love my phone and have no major issues with it and i would not change it for anything becuase nothing else delivers what i need a phone to be at the moment ( no other phone manufacturer either). so i am waiting like everyone else for the update hopefully to seriously address some of these major issues that should have never been there in the first place.

Oh, dont expect the next firmware to be release soon.

i went to the nokia's developer forum, look around and found out that nokia's HQ in Finland is having their Summer Holidays.

Maybe we should stop using our phones for 2 months. lol.

or should we do something about it?

radical, I am really beginning to like most of your posts and I getting tired of saying that I agree (but I do)

As I have stated several times before, I really believe Nokia pushed the phone ahead for reasons known only to them, we can speculate these reasons and probably get most right, but then it is still speculation. Anyway, I think the FW we are now working with v11.x is and most likely was the FW that they expected to have ready for the release of the phone, but it just didn't happen that way. I am sure the next update will address and fix a lot of issues, maybe not all. I, too am waiting, but even with the issues still at hand I am easily capable of operating my phone without major issues, once in a while one will crop up, but it is usually fixed without major hassles. Of course there still is work to be done, and I believe, as I always have that it is being done.

Exactly. People do not read the manual but are quick to complain when something goes wrong. The manuals are there actually for a reason. Try reading it.

This is my interpratation of this problem.

(Connectivity>Destinations> Access Points) This is where you set up access to the internet and you prioritise your available connections i.e I have WLAN Priority1 and Orange Internet Priority 2 setup under an access point called INTERNET, I have therefore made this access point called INTERNET my default access point therefore I expect the phone to automatically connect to Orange Internet when my WLAN is out of range because Orange Internet is available everywhere I go. Isn't this what this feature is meant to be doing???????????????????????
