leigh – i completely agree. the n97 is a good phone and all (i have one myself), but it looks as though the n900 would be much more deserving of being nokia’s flagship device. the symbian os does need a major overhaul, least not aesthetically – it just looks outdated in today’s smartphone world. if the n97 was cheaper then it probably wouldn’t incite as much disappointment as it does, but for what we paid for it, it should be better. i will definitely give the n900 a look when it comes out. i just hope that nokia release a phone that is actually READY this time and that it doesn’t suffer from the bugs and instability issues that the n97 did when it was first released.

One thing they should do is keep the navigation scroller in one place all of the time, rather then the screen jumping left to right while going in and out folders.

I can imagine that the new firmware will bring many new features to an already good phone, but with the N900 around the corner i think this new update is too little too late. The nokia N900 is 10 x that of the N97 with a much better user interface running on meamo5 and much more potential when it comes to apps. The N97 should have never been released with symbian s60, its an old programme with little potential of improving they need to keep that for the mid range phones such as the nokia 5800. I bought a 5800 for £250 and thought that the phone was farely cool, when the N97 came out i snapped it up on its release date to find it had the exact same software barring the home screen, i felt ripped off wheres the wow factor in that. the N900 on the other hand as a host of amazing features well worth the money nokia are asking.
