N97: Unboxing

Looks sooo nice, I can't believe I missed it in Birmingham!!!

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

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Any comments about the N97 contest you were planing?

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

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

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.

sweet, whats the little memory stick thing?

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

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?

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

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

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

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!
