Yes, but see my caveat video at the start of show 84…. It’s still cramped and inelegant, but the draw of that qwerty keyboard is just sooo strong. Ideally, I’d like an N97-like device without a d-pad, i.e. with a full width qwerty.

Didn’t you slam the E75 for having too many buttons and now you’re using it as your primary phone?

I have version 10.0.012 but when I try to update the device it will not connect.

Hard to decide. Currently using E75 though.

Well, do update it first to v11 firmware? Might be faster etc.

Unlucky, I used to live in Reading.

I have an N97 but its driving me mad because its so slow. Is it worth taking it back and getting the htc touch pro 2?

Which phone do u use daily ?

I just discoverd this channel today and i think its great. It covers Nokia products very nicely, but i have the feeling the reviews are a little to biased.

Tough call, but n86 – just.

Steve, not taking price into consideration, would you prefer the N86 or the N95 8GB?

Will check my local branch. The Autumn though??? That’s three MONTHS away, effectively!! Sorry, but I report on and review what’s available *now*. I’ll cover Windows Mobile 6.5 and upgrades when it happens.

Saw Tpro2 and the Diamond 2 in the carphonewarehouse on display and available and that was 2 – 3 weeks ago along with the soon to be discontinued Sony Xperia (so I was told).
WinMob 6.5 released in the autumn(?) which is not very far from now. You can see examples of WinMob6.5 right here on youTube.

‘Very Soon’? You mean in several months time? I’ll revisit the device then if it happens on schedule. Touch Pro 2 on the High Street? Really? Haven’t seen it so far here. Any particular distributors in the UK?

In fact, I don’t really rate either TP2 or N97, I wouldn’t recommend either at the moment.

Your comparison with the Pro 2 and the N97 was aliitle biased especially when you failed to mention that WinMobile is to be uprgraded to 6.5 very soon which is noticibly better. Even though you did acknowledge that the Pro2 is aimed more with communications in mind than camera quality you still went ahead and compared a 5MP to a 3MP camera anyway. Overall, I’m, sure the Pro2 gives the N97 tougher competition than just having a better keyboard. And the Pro2 IS ON SALE IN THE HIGH ST.

thanks for the pics and vid samples

See the end credits for the composer!

This is slightly off but what is the track playing in the beginning of the video ?

Main tips? Keep the camera steady. And script things where possible – you’ll find you can put in twice as much info and precision per minute – my show put in a quantum leap in quality when I switched to scripted reviews and features about two years ago. And watch the lighting – more light=better (usually).

Great reviews as always. Any recomendations on how I can improve my video reviews?!

Why is it not ‘cool’ to be honest about the fact that I find both a disappointment?

Yes, but a bit old fashioned. Which in itself can be good…. All depends.

I dont think the Touch Pro 2 is a disappointment now the 3GS is a disappointment i have it and regret buying it im canceling my contract with at&t tomorrow and buying this phone i’ve play around with it and its way way WAY better then the iPhone 3GS so on July 22 im getting it from T-Mobile yup well i think your review was not all quite helpful it looks like you trying to make both phones sound bad and thats not kool but ehh thats your opinion and i have mina which are totally different.

i agree with you steve…

Is the N86 not a good phone?
