Nokia :: N97 - Any Opinion On Alternative Handsets?


I had been really looking forward to upgrading my N95 8gb to an N97 but it seems that Orange in the UK have decided to ban it (they did it to the N96 too). They report the problem being software related and that there have been major issues with the uk version of the handset. I know that orange put their own firmware on their badged handsets and wondered if that was the issue.

My concern is that I don't want to start a new contract through a reseller if the phone ends up being dodgy and I have to deal with Nokia instead of orange customer care as their repair/replace policy is very good. Does anyone have any opinion on this or alternative handsets? Orange recommend the N86 or E71 or E75 instead but they all seem radically different.

Nokia :: N97 Music Player - Alternative
Is there a better / alternative music player available anywhere for the N97? The default player is poor in my opinion - the player I had on my 2 year old Sony W960 was way ahead of this Nokia product.

Simple things like being able to hide artists associated with compilations seems to be missing.

Nokia :: N97 - Mini Sync Alternative Plugins
I upgraded my phone partly cos my 9500 is not isync compatible.

I want to fling my PC, but it is networked to my mac - why cannot Microsoft Entourage read Microsoft Outlook files?

How long is it likely to take Nokia to launch an official plug-in?

How good are the alternative plug-ins? ...does anyone do one for the N97 mini?

Any other way of getting my Contacts and calendar onto my mac (snow leopard)?

Nokia :: N Series Handsets Gallery - Can Use Albums - Items Dont Get Put
Are newer N series phones the same? As in on my n95 8gb I can use allbums but items dont get "put" there they simply appear in the gallery and the album. It would be better if it worked like the video gallery where you can actually place them into folders and even better if you could protect folders etc.

Nokia :: Alternative To Opera?
we know Opera Mobile 8.65 doesn't work on many of the newer Nokia phones running S60. And we don't want to use Opera Mini because it defeats the purpose behind having a smartphone. The built-in S60 browser is ok but that's about it.

Nokia :: PC Suite Alternative ?
I'm fed up with the immense bloat and all the problems with the Nokia PC Suite, so I'm looking for a PC Suite alternative. Possibly free.I would just need to backup my contacts, SMS/MMS and notes. I don't expect it to backup phone settings, since not even Nokia PC Suite can do that (!!!), but if that works even better.

Nokia :: External Keyboard Alternative For E75
As far as I know there is "Nokia Wireless Keyboard SU-8W" product designed specially for nokia phones. But is there any chance to use regular bluetooth PC keyboard with nokia phones (e75)? I guess there might be some drivers or apps that allow connection between nokia phone and other regular bluetooth devices (PC keyboards, mouses etc).

Nokia :: E72 Chat Using Alternative Access Points
For some reason Chat (the built-in IM client) on my E72 always uses my mobile phone provider's data connection, even though I am connected to WLAN at home. Other applications use WLAN, because it has a higher priority on my "Internet" destination in Connection settings.Chat doesn't seem to have any options at all to select the access point it uses.

BB Curve 83xx :: Are GSM Handsets Built Better Than CDMA Ones?
Are the GSM Curves built better than the CDMA ones?

My friend got a Curve from AT&T the other day. I've had 4 Sprint Curves, and one Verizon Curve (which I have currently).I've noticed on the Curves I've used (3 were new, 2 were used), that the keyboard wasn't great. By that, I mean out of the 5 I've used, only one of them had a keyboard that felt perfectly firm. The others have had space bars, or alt/caps lock keys that seem to be shaky in the tray. Also, of the 5 phones at least 2 of them didn't seem to be perfectly stable, and on most of them the battery door seemed to be loose (you can press it down).

However, my friends AT&T had a perfectly firm keyboard, what seemed like better menu/send/end keys, and the device was perfectly firm in the hand.Is the GSM device made better, or am I just getting bad Curves on my end?

IPhone :: Any Opinion On Vaja Cases?
Any opinions on Vaja cases? I use a holster for ease of access, but thinking about getting either the Vaja iVolution Top or Grip for a change of pace. Read good things about Vaja cases in regards to quality. Looking for feedback on functionality. Long 45 day order time though. Not sure that I dig the flap, which could get rather annoying, so leaning towards the Grip. Top is in the first photo and Grip is in the second two.

Samsung :: Omnia Opinion Debate
So I'm thinking about getting a new phone. Initially, without even looking too deep, I was hoping to find a decent relatively new smartphone in the $400-500 range. However, that proved to be a little hard (Hah.)
In the end, I'm looking closer at the Omnia (i900). But! I know that this is a little over a year old now. But! It has all the features I'm looking for and at a reasonable price. What do you guys think? Should I settle or should I shell out a couple more hundred (ie. move up to $600ish) and get a more recent phone? And any other suggestions in that case (doesn't have to be samsung)? If i was to move up to the $600 range I was thinking of either the Omnia HD or Omnia2...
