Will you go for N97?
My hunch says Nokia has become a utilitarian brand and will have a tough time competing with lifestyle products like iPhone.
What’s your take?

The phone is not worth 35k i feel.All the Nokia phones N79,N82,5800 Xpress Music have almost the same feature and are in the price range of 20k.
N97 being a touchscreen phone with 32gb Memory and may be with one or two features more.
N97 Should have been in the range of 30k.The phone looks great otherwise
Completely second your opinion Akash!
This is outrageously priced. 37000 is too much man, you can get the best of the best laptops. Look at Nokia 5800 xpress music, its at 19000 Rs but gives you almost everything other that physical qwerty it has on-screen qwerty and used the same Symbiam S60 v 5 OS. You dont really need 5 MP camera, 3.5 is more than sufficient and delivers extremely crisp pics and videos.
I am not burning 37000 in times of recession…come on Nokia India what happened to your market sense, you could have sold billions of sets had you priced it reasonably. This is just an ounce better that Nokia 5800 (Uses the same OS – Symbian S60v5), so price shouldnt be more than 25K
Good reply to nokia about the price of N97.As mentioned we can buy a laptop.
Great Phone..Though high priced but would be worth it.
well i think nokia N07 is rightly priced , seeing what its competitor iphone is priced.
iphone too don’t deserve the 35 k price tag , as it don’t have anything cool to get that price tag.
and nokia N97 is way ahead in features with 5MP camera . 32 GB memory and loads of other stuff.
what you accept you to be cheaper that iphone.
no way.
this is a great phone for music and office work and more
the phone sucks totally. i bought it and then it stopped working and couldnt be repaired. then i bought another one and thankfully that one works well. i hate this phone. anybody wants to buy this piece of crap from me at half price?
hi
i want too buy this phone
from u
so please contact me
what is the price off that ?
My n97 is less then 3 months old and i can sell it upto 25,500/-.
urgently required reply soon my cell no 09437045946………………..
is the n97 touch screen?
Yeah it is a touch screen phone with a sliding keyboard. i bought one yesterday and I love it
yes, this is touch screen phone.
when is it going to launch in india?
and is the n97 touch screen?
yes
Nice phone, but certainly not worth 35k… 25-27k would be ok.. No revolutionary stuff in that phone.. considering the network/wifi connectivity in india, more than half of those widgets wont even work..
Also, general ppl in india will have a HARD time understanding the widget system
Articles reported the music capabilites of the 5800 is better than this phone..
Symbian 60 5th edition is STILL evolving,expect bugs in the phone!..
But ya, the hardware specs are good.. more ram,better processor, touch sensitivity is more than the 5800..
34g is a bit too much for this baby. Should be priced around 25g.
hey i has nokia 5800 xpress n i like this phone but certainly not worth 35 k 26- 27k would be k inshallah i will buy this one also ???

i bought N 97 on the 4th of July since i lost my i phone. luckily i was able to trace back my lost phone and now N 97 is a unwanted financial burden. If anyone is interested in buying one from me at a cost of Rs. 33000 (i boought it for 35370), please contact sunil on 9820945801′
Big disappointment, N97 and 5800 are twins, N97 have 5mgpl camera and type writer,if you buy N97 (India) just a wast of money….
TRULY YES. MOST DISAPPOINTING IS THE BATTERY STAND BY TIME. I CHARGE FULL AND IT DRAINS OUT COMPLETELY IN JUST 26 HRS. IN BETWEEN I RECEIVE TEN CALLS OF 3 MINS EACH & CALL FOR 2 MINS EACH MAXIMUM. MAIL FOR ONE HOUR. NO AUDIO, NO CAMERA, NO VIDEO, NO 3G. MINIMUM USE OF PHONE AND PHONE OPNLY DEARS.
BEST BUY WOULD HAVE BEEN HTC TOUCH DIAMOND.
Dear, Can anybody tell me , is the n97 available in white color in india ? if yes in which cities . it is not available in ahmedabad . Thanx .

i would say that it is a great phone because it have a lot of function which can make your work very easy and the future of this phone is way over different then other NOKIA phones.
N97 is the phone which has replaced my laptop palmtop & PDA its mean machine all in one Audio, Video, Contacts, Word, Excel, Mails But lacks only print feature wud had been handy.
The price is fair enough for the deal they are giving with 32GB HDD & CarlZ 5MP Camera has more than crystal clear shoot with blurr(control) facility.
Regards
In Nutshell a really extreme worthy phone!!!
You guys all want the latest technology at the cheapest prices
price will drop
I mean, stop complaining about how expensive it is! if you want it, you pay for it… otherwise, go for a basic phone, which you can get for 1200 rupees (and even less i’m sure!)
Or
simply wait 5 years
cheers,

I think this phone is worth every single penny, I have been using it for about 2 months now and loving it. I compared it with my brother-in-laws Iphone on other weekend and we got to the conclusion that N97 is far better that Iphone.
ya u r rite iPhone sucks compared to N97
many progs wont work on iPhone

i also feel n 97 is not worth 35k also n900 is coming soon and it is said to at price of 40k i will prefer to buy it than n97 as it is far better than it just looks specification of it
Friends for me this phone is not upto the mark. For businessman this n97 is totally no no. since it don`t let you use quickoffice .so u cann`t even open word and excel files forget about editing them. u cann`t purchase quickoffice since its not available anywhere. Secondly, it get hang again & again even the latest version .Thirdly, it doesn`t connect on bsnl wi-fi. When i enquired on nokia toll free no. they surprised me by saying that n97 cann`t be connected through wi-fi.Even the service center people do not know anything. I feel betrayed.
Does it work for opening & reading PDF files that are attached in emails (the minimum functionality for a business executive)?
yes we can open&read PDF
yes i am allready purchase this phone very esy
my fiancee cum luver gifted this set to me…….luv u
extremely overly priced, should hav been between 15k to 20k and can’t even open a word or excel file n they call it a complete smart phone whose price is almost a good laptop’s price
WHAT??????
