I've been putting off buying a n97/mini simply due to problems like these which does not give me any justification for an "upgrade", but I think the original poster missed a few points in his post. Here are some corrections and FYI, and a few comments. Feel free to answer back.
1.) Quick Office CANNOT be installed to other drive than C. Or at least the new version QOPremier6 doest seem to give a choice.
2)Ovi Maps 3.04 is available for the N97, but it is still in beta stage, meaning it is not available via SW update and you would need to download it via PC yourself.
3.) I would reword your suggestion to Allow USER to chose WHERE. Although some apps do require C drive due to speed considerations between itself and hardware, like Ovi Maps, Python, QT, Silverlight....These need special consideration, especially since the last 3 mentioned are runtime apps.
4.) I'm with you on this one.
5.)
6.)Have you checked the applications themselves as to what connection they should use? For example, the email client will only use the connection you defined for it in settings, regardless if you are connected to wifi or not.
7.)
8)
9.)
10.) this is possible already, but with the use of an app. This is a standard Nokia feature for ALL of its phones though. Not sure why. I think this requires a separate mail, or at least to give the user to set it up if pause on unplug or continue playing.
11.)
12.) Nokia Conversations (threaded view) is in beta stage for s60v3 phones, s60v5 should follow. If you cannot wait, download Free iSMS (I have it). It gives you threaded SMS view. Free version is 1.03, while 1.08 is paid. However 1.08 gives you iPhone onscreen message alert animation.
13.)Calendar was designed to be synced to ovi.com. Also, calendar can be synced in Ovi Suite even without MS office, as it can be set to connect to Windows Calendar. What you should suggest is to get the online Ovi Calendar Application onto Ovi Suite as well.
14.) Warning messages could be turned off, AFAIK since day one.
15.) This would be difficult considering that the n97 has no 3D graphics engine unlike iPhone
16.) Nokia Messaging allows push email AFAIK (I dont use it), since a network in my country is advertising it that it does.
17.)That would ruin the whole idea of widgets now doesnt it?
18.) Have you had your GPS device changed? They change it along with the entire back cover. it was done for free a few months ago, since the lens gets scratched by the cover. The entire back-cover-lens-GPS got an upgrade.
19.)
20.) Opera Mobile is the answer. Tab support, flash support, speed dial, can be set as default browser (if you use final version, not beta).
21.) Face detection is possible since they did it on N86, but I do not know what is photo stitching. If you explain I might know of an app that does that.
22.)May or may not be possible. Please note the N86 was designed as a camera phone, and its camera is radically different from many cellphone cameras from Nokia. It even has a mechanical shutter. AFAIK the N97 does not.
23.)This can be done via "mobile view". However many would be against you (me in particular), as I would prefer the page rendering to exactly that of on the PC.
24.)
25.)
26.)
27.) Not possible. The ARM11 on the N97 can only be clocked to a maximum of 550Mhz according to the manufactirer. It is still underclocked, but cannot reach 600mhz.
28.) Symbian^3 is not possible. The new OS was said to be having hardware 3D graphics acceleration, which the N97 does not have.
29.) I actually prefer double tap everywhere. Scrolling icons is a bit messy on single tap everywhere.
30.) Hmmm..good
31.)
32.) Isnt this what RSS feeds are for?
33.) I think this is both hardware and software dependent.
