Thanks a lot for this unboxing Noah, my dad has been looking forward to this phone for a long time and i'm sure he'd love to see this video and most definately your review.
Nice review. Thank you. Loved the 20 seconds of clicking off camera as you struggle to remove the battery cover - LOL I've never had a smartphone, so I have decided to get the 3GS soon. But it's great to see the what else is out there, and still to come.
Hey Noah, Your Videos are Great everytime there are phone reviews on youtube i always wait for yours coz you make them way more intresting and you are very enthusiastic aswell BTW this was a great video.
Noah, D-pad is on the left because, since most people are right handed, they use their right thumb for the touch screen. As for the space key, Nokia said they did studies and that keyboard layout was the most preferred in all the countries where it was tested.
Anyone who saw the engadget review of this device recalls the issues Tom Ricker mimicked for people who aren't smartphone-savvy. Watching Noah use this device, I have to shake my head at Mr Ricker, who made the device look unusable. The video was still hilarious though. Thanks for the unboxing an preview, Noah.
luv this review! I waitin 4 u 2 do another 4 th N97! So sum of the featurs! Like the koo ncomin call screen n stuff like that! Thanx! Keep up the great work!!!
resistive is when you press the screen down to let the phone know you are touching it capacitive is when the phone senses your electric field from your fingertips to know that you are touching it (this is the tech the iPhone is using)
I think you missed the battery latch thats why you almost broke the battery cover. also you probably have to slip the top in first before clicking down on all the other batt cover tabs.
Great phone for its time... even then so now in some ways... the built in stuff was exceptional and the tv plug is that came with it was a great idea... imo the best feature was the ability to play music on in your car with out a usb or aux cable... you just tuned into a specific station and play music from your phone.... a solid 6-10.
Well this is only so expensive because it's unlocked, if it had a carrier, it'd be either free or cheap. If you bought an iPhone 3GS unlocked it's probably cost over $1000. In the UK the iPhone 3GS will still cost over £200 on a £35 monthly contract for 2 years I believe I read it to be.
yeah, you are right, T-mobile uses the 2100 dot something....they are off the 2100mHz frequencies because the Military uses 2100mHz....Tmobile should go with the same as ATT..would make it easier for all of us
ATT actually gets 3.5G lol. i got the device and it's worth every penny! keeps all your daily life literally one touch away. so many other phones have said this and failed but the n97 really did it!
in almost every review, people have mentioned the d-pad being on the left and saying its stupid. I'm right handed and i prefer it on the left, my last 3 sidekicks all were on the left.
Yep. Unlocked phones can use any sim card. That's why they're called unlocked! =] I'm taking my unlocked phone to Europe to use their prepaid sim cards.
Those features are crazy. 32 gig, 5 MP camera, are you serious? But for that price, holy crap, I can buy an Ipod, a camera, and a phone and probably have some money left over.
@MW2COD6166 i am afraid of white getting yellow or something...just like the ZAGG for iphone,ipod etc...it get yellow from the oil we have in our hands...
whats the difference between resistive and capacitvie touchscreens? And Noah, why do most bay are/norcal folks dislike the Lakers so much? Anyways Noah, Go Lakers!!!lol.
there will be no carrier based release for the u.s. Europe however should.... and since you would need a sim card, you can count out sprint,alltell and Verizon. you would be better off with at&t because it would support 3g.
the D-pad is on the standard side for a d-pad. dont matter if you right or left handed. look at the game controller. n that battery cover was a donkey hey lol. stubborn as a mule llol.. nice reveiw mines coming on monday or tuesday woOp!
get it thru vodafone and you get some free speakers that are awesome. you even get them if you go through phones 4 u using vodafone as the network. amazing phone. best on the market, buy it!
@MW2COD6166 aino?hehe!i was also going to buy the aino but i decided to buy n97 because it is way better....and i forgot that the price has decreased from 800$ to 380$!!!thanks guys!i i also want the white but as i told before it will maybe become yellow!wait for my unboxing in my channel by the end of the month!

i've been waiting for noah to review this phone for so long...
how is the phone at multi tasking? Can you run gravity, total recall and a separate IM client and still have enough ram left to do other basic tasks?

Noah, i would like to know what current phone you have as of now..
thanks!
going through all old nokia videos
This might sound like a stupid question but what does unlocked gsm mean ? And has phonedog done a review on nokia 5730 XM ?
luv this review! I waitin 4 u 2 do another 4 th N97! So sum of the featurs! Like the koo ncomin call screen n stuff like that! Thanx! Keep up the great work!!!
whats the difference between a resistive and capacitive touch screen?
if you're used to playing portable game consoles then you'll love the keypad on the left
@MW2COD6166 yeah...totally agree about the aino...how musc does the n97 cost on ebay?
Can unlocked phones use prepaid cards? Just wondering.
are the answering and canceling buttons touch?
hey noah can you tell me in ur review about nokia n97 if are able to play videos like from hulu veoh website like that alright thanx
@tenphayul ; it should say mark/mark all?
resistive is when you press the screen down to let the phone know you are touching it
capacitive is when the phone senses your electric field from your fingertips to know that you are touching it (this is the tech the iPhone is using)
Noah struggled with the battery cover...so did I with my N97...it pops right off
Can't wait to get mine, still waiting for it to be released in the UK though, only a few more days to go and it'll be in the post on its way to me. =D
capacitive is like heat sensitive so you can touch it with your fingers but the resistive you use like a stylus and your finger nails
I think you missed the battery latch thats why you almost broke the battery cover.
also you probably have to slip the top in first before clicking down on all the other batt cover tabs.
i'm pretty sure you slide the battery door as opposed to prying it open
what service do you have to have the nokia n97
unlocked means you can use it with any sim card and gsm means that it uses sim cards
nokia is underrated in the US. i'm looking forward to the full review.
whats the song at the beggining?
if i buy it from the states, will it work if i live in Egypt?
why the hell does it have 32GB memory?
Great phone for its time... even then so now in some ways... the built in stuff was exceptional and the tv plug is that came with it was a great idea... imo the best feature was the ability to play music on in your car with out a usb or aux cable... you just tuned into a specific station and play music from your phone.... a solid 6-10.
I agree with Noah's comment about the keyboard... why is the D Pad on the left? Also, wth is with the space bar?? :O
best phone in the world! more then the new iphone i hope i will have one on those.. tnx for the video it helped me to see the phone for real
Well this is only so expensive because it's unlocked, if it had a carrier, it'd be either free or cheap. If you bought an iPhone 3GS unlocked it's probably cost over $1000. In the UK the iPhone 3GS will still cost over £200 on a £35 monthly contract for 2 years I believe I read it to be.
does this phone require a data plan??
yeah, you are right, T-mobile uses the 2100 dot something....they are off the 2100mHz frequencies because the Military uses 2100mHz....Tmobile should go with the same as ATT..would make it easier for all of us
¿Para ti cual es mejor el nokia n97 o el nokia x6?
@bjay61 they're called "review units". they're free
ATT actually gets 3.5G lol. i got the device and it's worth every penny! keeps all your daily life literally one touch away. so many other phones have said this and failed but the n97 really did it!
i dont know: n97 or iphone 3g s. iphone 3gs in pixmania is 900... and the nokia 600...€ help me
black or white???i cant decide so i want your opinios!
in almost every review, people have mentioned the d-pad being on the left and saying its stupid.
I'm right handed and i prefer it on the left, my last 3 sidekicks all were on the left.
how many phones do you have???
Yep. Unlocked phones can use any sim card. That's why they're called unlocked! =] I'm taking my unlocked phone to Europe to use their prepaid sim cards.
LOL - "Here's a big piece of paper that says...STOP!!!"
--Tracy
What network is this for?
I ONLY see phone reviews from PhoneDog :)
does it have US 3G?
Those features are crazy. 32 gig, 5 MP camera, are you serious?
But for that price, holy crap, I can buy an Ipod, a camera, and a phone and probably have some money left over.
whats the contract price
um does this support 3g and normal. pls reply ASAP
I thought it was funny too, I was waiting for the sound of him dropping the phone on the floor. XD
Damn thats cool. I wish Sprint had a deal with Nokia so I can get a phone like this.
which is better.?
iphone or n97.?
you can go in one the phone service centers in egypt and they can do it for you very easy
hey who knows how much the htc touch pro 2 cost unlocked?
does this phone require internet please tell me
your videos are very helpful but the camera quality is not so good
get an hd flip mino
2017! 😎
Still wanna buy this one.
Noah's worst enemy...battery door covers haha
Mine is unlocked and it didnt come with a stylist
That the first nokia phone to use guitar startup sound
@MW2COD6166 i am afraid of white getting yellow or something...just like the ZAGG for iphone,ipod etc...it get yellow from the oil we have in our hands...
you always fail a little with the battery cover, and that is so fun!
i get the mini soon, everyone says the mini is better than this!
COOL! do a comparison with the g1 please, or with pro2:)
im love with that phone
whats the difference between resistive and capacitvie touchscreens?
And Noah, why do most bay are/norcal folks dislike the Lakers so much?
Anyways Noah, Go Lakers!!!lol.
there will be no carrier based release for the u.s. Europe however should.... and since you would need a sim card, you can count out sprint,alltell and Verizon.
you would be better off with at&t because it would support 3g.
The Pre is 550 from Sprint with no contract
I freaked the hell out seeing you have this! AHHH~!!! I want it sooo bad!
now think and take a guess WHY it does not have a virtual qwerty-keyboard...
got it? got it?
hi
I have ne Nokia n97 but if I become gebelt get I no name on the screen know someone how if that comes
it should do aslong as you unlock it work on your network out their. im not sure on this but look it up :)
LMAO u hear Noah in the background struggling. Nice phone tho
I'm getting it :D! Just waiting for the cariers here in the netherlands...
it always the battery cover with you
i love my N97...any one knows how to delete txt msgs all at once...? its kinda pain in ass to delete txt msg one at the time,..
I doubt it, the browser would need to be able to install flash and doubt it can. Not even the iPhone can.
lol "lacks many things" umm pardon??
This is probably the most feature packed phone to ever hit the market, hence the enormous price tag
actually its a prover fact, i was in no way saying that the pre is better. It has been said by many professionals. check it out.
N97 =
That is a monster battery
if this gets a US Carrier wut would it b ... could anyone tell me????!!!
the D-pad is on the standard side for a d-pad. dont matter if you right or left handed. look at the game controller.
n that battery cover was a donkey hey lol. stubborn as a mule llol.. nice reveiw mines coming on monday or tuesday woOp!

capacitive actually uses the natural electricity in your fingers.
