Fooled you....I'm not poring over the specs of the latest smartphones while waiting for the long-overdue v20 firmware....

I bought a pair of Nokia BH--905 noise-cancelling BT stereo headphones.

I'm using them to cancel out the deafening noise that all of those crickets in Finland are making right now!!

I refuse to comment about your tension angiepea.

I don't want to get banned from this forum.

Good to know that I was spot on with your retail therapy. 😊

It concerns me that you're all thinking about ditching your N97s - i'm getting the feeling that this will be a very lonely forum for me soon :frown:

Dave needs a group hug {{{{dave}}}}

OK... you fooled me.

Are you sure it's crickets and not just a poor signal?

Enjoy the headphones... hope they fit your next phone. 😃

I bought, what I was told by Nokia, a flagship phone.

I got a lemon with imature firmware that hasn't been sorted a third of a year later.

Sorry angiepea, it feels like a lonely forum already as we all sit around waiting for Nokia to get their finger out.

Knickers to the group hug... what Dave needs is a pint of squeal (cider). I know I do. :icon14:

Ahh, good ol' ostrich eggs! I got one from Oslinc in Boston, Lincolnshire, and scrambled it. Big frying pan required 😃

Never thought of making a scotch egg from it! Was it nice?

Oh yes - definitely! Touch screen/qwerty is so much slower. That's the main thing I miss about my N95. I did get it out the other day and admit I prefer its speed and ease of use. That said, it did have quite a few firmware releases in its lifetime so I pray that the N97 gets just as good.

I'm currently waiting for my local Nokia repair shop to get parts in for me anyway. I'm getting a camera lens and GPS issue fixes along with the keypad slider lock replaced as it literally fell off when I unlocked the phone the other day!! :icon4:

Come on Royal Mail... 😡

Already done.

So dismayed was I with the N97's disfunction at basic things such as phone calls and texts, I've ditched it and purchased a N86. And I don't regret it one single bit.

In fact, the wife has noticed how much happier I am and how little I curse my mobile phone these days.

Have you managed to find any debranding info? (for the N86)

Seems that you can use NSS for debranding:-

You may need the hard reset (Vulcan Death Grip) for the N86:-

Hope this helps. 😊
