Have you noticed an increase in overall performance after flashing the device with the latest firmware?

Hi Joe,
Yes from what we have seen and heard the N97 has been going down really well – interesting as it’s in direct competition with the iPhone 3gs. Don’t know who is going to win though!!

As for the US launch before the UK launch, we’re unsure. It was may be a manufacturing issue as the phones are fundamentally different on the inside due to the US using cdma network, instead of GSM in Europe. If we remember back to the E71, the UK launch was months before the US launch!!

Hi, John,

I didn’t know the PDair cases were handmade. Mine arrived yesterday, and it’s a really nice fit.

You company sells handsets. How’s the reception been to N97? Curious: Were you surprised to see the mobile go on sale in the US before the UK? I sure was.

Really good review Joe. We’re getting some really good feedback in the UK as well. I’m glad to see you like the PDair cases, I just wish they would make them a bit quicker. Did you know they were handmade? That is why it takes so long for them to become available!

Hi, Andre,

My daughter will be 15 this summer.

The phone is slimmer and longer than iPhone, and, of course, thicker. It’s not a hefty phone, which helps. My initial reaction was, “Whoa, it’s so big.” After four days use I think, “Whoa, it’s so small.”
