So it's been 3 weeks since I got the N97 from Nokia and I absolutely love it.
I had a lot of problems with the firmware at first (still do!) with the phone freezing up or the touchscreen not working. I had to do a factory reset (lost all my contacts, preferences, pictures, and downloaded apps) and this time, I chose not to download sooo many applications because they were found to be make the phone very buggy. Ever since, I haven't had these problems again.. but I still find the phone to be quite "slow" for a smartphone.
But I put up with the firmware issues because the hardware is just SO gorgeous!
But I have to say, the keyboard isn't as great as it looks! Being a physical qwerty keyboard with its keys decently spaced apart and buttons big enough (yes I'm hating about the blackberry!), I anticipated more convenience.
However, this keyboard is shit compared to what I previously used for 2 years, my Sidekick LX. I don't even mind that the space bar is ridiculously placed at the far bottom right, but I HATE how it's soooo tiny (spacebars are supposed to fit BOTH my thumbs!!) so I always hit "Sym" button next to it and it brings up the symbols-screen. Very annoying.
But the buttons do have a nice feel to them, but SK keyboard buttons have a better rubbery feel... and not as slippery.
That's all I really have to say... I have my last final tomorrow, at 3pm & then I'm leaving at around midnight. (taking the bus back to NYC!)
My plans for winter break... study for GMAT & hang out with my friends A LOT! We got some serious catching-up to do!!
I have SO much to study, so adios!
