Nokia Love ... » N97 http://nokialove.com A Nokia blog from Vancouver, BC, Canada :) Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:10:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 The branding… I hate it! http://nokialove.com/the-branding-i-hate-it/ http://nokialove.com/the-branding-i-hate-it/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:45:19 +0000 Daniel Wexler http://nokialove.com/?p=1155 Hi,

As you know (or not), I got an N97mini from WOMWorld during the #N97minitour across Canada.
I wanted to update the firmware of it since it was still on the old V11.2.102 but looki here, since its a branded Rogers phone(different product code than unlocked phone), no update…
No wonder people don’t like Nokia so much, apparently, if there are no update, phones are staying with bugs… god damn it.
And we back to “why only the iPhone is being sold as is?” no branding, no OS changed to cellphone providers… its weird, wake up Rogers, get the update and approve it!, our Rogers Nokia’s product code are waiting….
Of course, you can do this too, but I’m lazy so not today ;)

Last night there was the opening of Vancouver’s celebration of lights with team USA.
I took this chance to test (yet again) the N900 and N97mini in night conditions.
In both cases, “night mode” looks really bad but that’s cause it should be used with no moving objects, I think :/.
Anyways, here are the results.

Blue tooth headset with great audio quality and battery life (I left it open for 4 hours, that was good enough for me).
Its easy to use and easy to pair with your device… meet the Nokia BH-214!.
The headset the Nokia provides in the package(Nokia HS-44) is great, feels natural and easy inside the ear and the sounds from the “outside” are pretty much blocked and you can enjoy your music.
Voice commands works well as well, the location of the microphone (next to the led indicator) is a great place and got all my commands well and while in a phone call it preformed very well.

The audio on the N97minin is great, with this blue tooth device its even better, me like and recommend :)

Here is a video where I show how easy it is to pair this headset to your device.

With the desktop widget its easy to control the music player and have a a nice boomBox device on your desk once you are awake in the morning :)

Today while being a part of the Nokia #N97minitour, we did a small hike at the Banff area, of course, I started my Nokia sport tracker and started walking.

We walked not that fast and tried to look around and find as many nice things to see as possible, we saw a snake and had some great views, even some of us dipped their legs in the lake (heard it was cold).
What I liked most about it was the fact that after almost 2 hours of walk with GPS on, lots of pictures and some videos taken, my battery bars showed full charge, I loved it, not to worry about battery life is a nice thing :) .

Here are some of the pictures that were taken:

A cool thing, the N97mini(what Rogers, here in Canada) will provide, comes with the car kit, Nokia HH-20 and RC-116:

Just to start my thoughts after one day of full use of the N97mini.

Some of the things I do like about it(N97mini):

  • The keyboard is really nice and easy to get use to.
  • Its much more snappy and fast than what I thought It might be (which is good).
  • Lots of fun&free stuff for it on the Ovi store.
  • Amazing GPS navigation software, this is the 1st time I see the new Maps application with free navigation, I’m impressed !!!.

Some things I do not like about the phones for now are:

  • When editing the folders and dragging an icon into a folder, it jumps into that folder, I wanted it to keep being in the parent folder since this is the one I’m editing :/ .
  • This phone gets warm, and I mean it, while charging its extremely hot.. not sure how bad/okay this thing is but its weird.

Here are some images from theN97mini tour :) , taken of course with the N97mini:

And of course, some fun stuff on this tour.. Woohoo…

More later…. bye for now.
