Nokia is attempting to compete with the iPhone with it’s N97 release – but it IT ISN”T MAC COMPATIBLE!!!!!! COME ON!!!!! Only reason I bought this thing is because only Vodaphone works in my house. I’m mad as hell! Ditto ALL the problems above too. I’d like Nokia to take me out of Vodaphone contract!

Nokia N97 not being recognized by PC when connected using USB data cable CA-101? Please help!?
When i connect my N97 to my PC, nothing appears on either the PC or the mobile. I just bought the phone a few days ago and this is the first time I’m trying to connect it to the PC. It uses a USB data cable CA-101. Ovi suite doesn’t detect the phone nor does it appear as a mass storage device when i select “mass storage” in the phone’s USB options. Does anyone know how this can be fixed. Am i not doin it correctly or is the usb port of the phone faulty.

How do i check the firmware model. And if i’ve to update the firmware to get rid of this error, how do i do it. I don’t have a bluettoth dongle or any other way of connecting it to the PC.

I’ve now spoken to a person at T-Mobile Technical Support who didn’t try to fob me off, (Once i got past the lady who asked me if i’d turned it off and removed the battery etc?!?!) who fully understood my frustration with the phone and actually tried to help me find a way to do the firmware upgrade, but no joy. Overtly, they did say get the phone insured (check the small print first though!) then once a reliable method of flashing it is around, flash it. If it turns into a brick claim on the insurance, if it works, leave it unlocked. The big question for me is, why do t-mobile “lock” there phones? and why has it taken me a week to finally speak to some one who knows what there on about, answers to t-mobile please. I have 2 weeks left until my 28 days are up, so if your reading this T-Mobile, get cracking!?!?!?!??!

i’m now on my 4th Nokia N97 not because it was faulty but simply because vodafone are too stupid to realise that all i needed was a firmware update. Now i’m proberbly not alone in thinking that although the firmware update is the route of most of the problems there was also some hardware issues such as a lose slider on the side (felt cheap and breakable) also some people were having scratching problems with the camera slider and also the home button seemed uneven and the light omitted through at an akward angle….well i now have my 4th N97 as mentioned and it came already pre-loaded with the new firmware not only that but all the above problems were totally fixed so i reccomend anyone who has a 28 day return policy with vodafone or any other operator to return it asap and get the better version. cheers guys

Personally, I am struggling to give up my E71 for the N97 and I am kinda waiting for the day that Nokia release an N97 in the body of an E71, touchscreen or not. Great form factor, with 200+mb Ram, an 8 or 12 MP camera and 32gb storage – with support for a 32gb micro sdhc card. Such a handset will do me for a looooong time to come )
