N8 if you want the best cam phone out in the market, x7 if you are into funky design but in terms of function your best bet is on N8 oh yeah and N97 is dead so don't even consider it an option!!!!

You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Re: N97 vs N8 vs X7 ....

Waiting for my X7 to arrive would not suggest the N8 to anybody either great camera thats about it.had a go of an X7 with the nokia rep there two weeks aho and its looking good just hope it does not fail my expectations or its back to the galaxyS2,if you could test the phones in a shop you could decide yourself there and then maybe at the end of the day the choice is yours and what suits your needs.good luck with your choice

Re: N97 vs N8 vs X7 ....

If you're happy with your N97 I'm amazed !!!!!! However , if that's the case, your perfect replacement is the E7, of the current Symbian^3 phones I find the X7 the most pointless, it offers nothing new except the carcass, it has neither the camera of the N8 or the CBD acreen and slide out QWERTY of the E7. Read the detailed reviews on AAS on the phones and make up your mind which fulfills your requirements the best, the only opinion that actually matters is yours ?

The N97 doesnt even deserve to be in the same sentence as the N8 or X7.

personally between the 2, I'd get an N8.

Pros for X7: it already has Anna. N8 will maybe get eventually.

 

Pros for N8: much better camera. And GSMarena complained about the haptic feedback in the X7 being very poor.

I suggest you not to buy any nokia phone because you pay a lot of money without care service and low hardware and no update such as n96 & n97

Re: N97 vs N8 vs X7 ....

I have N97 mini and N8.  It was hard to give up the full qwerty but otherwise I am very happy with the N8.  Build quality, battery life and interface are much better than the N97.  I considered switching to the E7 for the qwerty but the ability to use a micro-sd and the awesome camera make the N8 a much better choice.  FYI, AAS did a camera comparison of 8 megapixel (and up) camera phones and the X7 wasn't very good.  Even the dated N86 beat the X7 in all of the camera tests.

Hard Reset X7

Switch OFF your phone. Switch it ON again. Hold the 'Lower button of the connected volume key' + 'Camera key' + 'Menu key below the screen' pressed as the phone restarts. All the buttons should be pressed together.

Sorrry Bro to disappoint you. I have an X7, it is a piece of **bleep**. got it replace with a 1to 1 exchange and have to sent it to Nokia care centre to remedy the ovi map software. Many unpleasant surprise is waiting for you. good luck with yr X7. I am about to smash it to pieces to vent my frustrations.
