N97: Unboxing

Super eager to check out the N97 but extremely disappointed that O2 won’t be stocking it on release!

Can you please try out the fm transmitter?

I’d really like to know what the sound quality is like for music on a car stereo. Can you use it for hands free calls on your car stereo? Will nokia maps instructions play over the car stereo?

sweet, whats the little memory stick thing?

IS the one you going to be recieving the one that you found or another one?

Carphone and Phones4U both have it so may be selling it on O2.

This one is the “Search for N” prize - it was the metal N that was hidden
and I picked the N97 up in the evening. Am going to give it a quick test
and then… well… watch this space.

It’s a stylus. I’ll snap a picture later.

Will do - need a few days to get it out in the car tho’

Any comments about the N97 contest you were planing?

Looks like there’s a black mark on the screen already!

Yes yes yes, we’ve all seen the N97 before… what about that big shiny N… did you get to keep that?!

We’ll take a few days to agree the details and announce something here. Keep watching.

Nope it’s in brand-new A1 condition. Defect-free…

I did, but the pictures didn’t come out well last night. I’ll snap some more.

It’s a weighty thing - perhaps the first item for the Really Mobile trophy cabinet.

try to do it before the official launch cant wait for it!!

Is this N97 pictured here a UK version.? The reason I ask, is because i heard something about the UK version not coming with the Stylus.

The firmware says UK, but it shipped with a Euro power adaptor.

Oh right. ok, thanks.! I guess time will tell if this rumor is true or not.

Unfortuantely I am an O2 direct customer, held back from upgrading on my contract in the hope I would be offered a decent retention deal! Oh well CPW here I come!

Good taste packaging this time (outside, inside is still a little messy), it reminds me of some B&O stuff I have bought (like EarSet 2 for example)

Even the pack seems so “Armani-ish” on the outside. Gotta check it out in depth soon!

[...] - since lots of people were asking about the camera - here’s some comparison shots between the N97 and Nokia’s previous top-performing camera phone (in my opinion) the N82…. oh and the [...]
