woo yay hooplah

God knows it needs it, n97 is a horrid, unresponsive, buggy pile of crap.

I'm looking forward to seeing the N900 though, to see if they have made good use of a relatively clean slate. It looks fantastic on paper.

Trust...

...do I trust the update to not make the phone even more shit and unusable...?

I swear if this update doesn't unshaft the phone they can have it back and stick it up their arse.

Awesome

The PC-based installer doesn't work in Windows 7. Fuckbeans.

Fuckbeans?

That's my new word of the day!

more updates from acompany that can't be arsed to develop its products properly.

yet another update to fix the flaws that they should have sorted before they released the product. The phone is supposed to be their flagship phone but from day one it has been a pile shit. I seriously LOVE the for factor and the fact that the joypad lets me play video games (unlike the mini or N900). But the user experience is shit. The processor is shit. And everything is sooooo slow. I have seen Symbian working ln a Cortex A8 and it's actually really effective. But NOKIA HAS NO CLUE HOW TO DO A GOOD GUI. They are good engineers fucking LOUSY DESIGNERS...

Until they sort this out, I will no longer buy another Nokia product.

I always state i bought it from them, but they still insist it is my telco preventing the update.

they suggested i take it to a nokia care point to try and upgrade the firmware...so i did, off to the (nokia authorised) carphone warehouse...who would like me to pay 45 quid for them to try and update it.....

had to change the product code and upgrade it myself....
