XB,
With reference to your response:-
""Hi
There are many people who use the N97 and find it works just fine (I still see many colleagues using the N97 for their daily phone/email use despite newer models being available - I use an N97 mini myself which has the same 2.1 software).
This forum was created so you could "ask for assistance from other Nokia users and help others by providing solutions". What would you add - apart from the noted comments about door stops, drawer fillers, paperweights, etc. - to help others get the best out of their phone?""
How very loyal of you, which is understandable. I think the comments (some of which are quite sarcastic, including some from myself) are made to perhaps spurn some form of reaction from Mokia, and to convey how one feels with this let-down of a BETA phone.
We can understand how you defend the company for which you work, but there are many many people who have spent hard earned cash/contracted themselves, to a unit which patently is NOT FIT FOR THE PURPOSE. You mention that MANY of your colleagues use the N97. I guess in the scheme of things, Mokia have sold x million, and the complaints are a minimal part of that sales figure (it would be interesting to know the stats). But when one sees many people complaining, because they have been sold a white elephant, and hears of networks discontinuing sales of the product, and other networks NOT replacing like for like, but offering an alternative, and advertising for the N97 ending, and a statement on YouTube from Mokia stating (in essence) that they had made such a tremendous c*ck up with the N97, which they have now realized.... Well, that must tell you something??
Many loyal (including myself) Mokia fans, who have NEVER had an alternate phone, nor would even CONSIDER having another phone brand UNTIL NOW, where they are "jumping the Nokia ship" for another brand. Unfortunate, but why?? Because Mokia have let them down BIG TIME!!
So there are others (it is claimed) who have NOT been affected by this debacle. That is OTHERS, that is NOT those who HAVE been affected, of which a limited number make their voices known on here. Others are the silent ones who do not know where to voice their opinions.
As a result of Mokias ignorance to their customers, they have upset a lot of people. Let's hope this has an impact on their market share, and presence. Nokia USED to provide quality products, which worked, seemlessly. Now they provide products, for the sake of flooding the market, and NOT stability.
Cheers
PS/ I DID have an N97 from its launch, and it bacame progressively worse in operation. My network kindly swapped it out, for a Mini. What a breathe of fresh air that was, but of late that too has been playing up, requiring resets a couple of times a day, freezing, locking up in applications, losing connections. And NO, I do NOT have loads of 3rd party apps installed. Will version 11 s/w cure it?? Who knows, I'll just need to wait for Vodagroan to sort out the s/w.
PPS/ The comments are not against YOU (XB), but against Mokia who seem to be burying their heads in the sand, but they need to be careful in case something comes up behind them!!
N97MINI from 150310, after the N97 (number3) drove me mad!! Prev handset N82, 6230i, N80, 6600, 6310, 5110, 3210, 6300, and others :-)
