heh maybe ill wait till the 32gb n97 goes on sale new/used for 300-350$ :) you guys thikn that will be anytime soon?

No, cuz like hell I'll be selling mine for that low! :lol

so how do i tell whether it's a NAM or not, if im buying off from CL or even in a store?
i don't want to get one with no 3G

Pop in your sim, dial *#0000#. Should say Nokia N97-3 in one of the lines. If not, GTFO :lol

thanks, i will try that out.

or just pull the batt and look at the hardware rm-xx no. look up north american no. before hand ..

any 1 use the latest fw? v2.0? any comments on it?

anyone want to sell me his black n97 for $450? I was late for Terkan's N97. :(

Take mine and all its extra parts and accessories for $500 LOL :lol

^ but u broke something in between when you change the housing, didn't u?

Putting the black one back on would fix it haha It's not broken, just has two parts that are still on the black housing disconnected. :p

^ nah, I think your N97 looks nice. Putting it back to black doesn't make sense. :)

but my budget is only up to $450 and i need partial payapl payment so my wife won't get mad at me. :p

hahah naw, I'm probably not going to sell it for a while anyway. Need to get it fixed first.

amazon.com was selling them before christmas for $450 for a new one (well like the week of christmas they were giving an extra $50 off); 512 atm tho

didn't that flash rm-505 firmware which loses NAM 3G?
which firmware did you choose?

it only replace the language file so you don't lose your NAM 3g

do you have link or instruction on how to? the other link shows it flashes with RM-505 which will most likely take out the 850 band.

if you navifirm to download the firmware, which version of firmware did you choose?

many thanks.

You asked the same thing on Page 11 and got the answer there too. :D

I'm trying to install Garmin on my N97,
Can someone kindly PM me a link on how to install it? ;)

i just use google maps works fine

pics of garmin?

right, but exactly which version of firmware 2.0 from navifirm ? there are like 10 different version of original....

I need to do more reading....... but thanks kardborad. :)

Strange too, my n97 drains the fully charged battery from my E71 in about 7~8 hours which I replaced before I go to sleep. I am pretty sure I don't have internet or anything turn on, but it was completely dead when I woke up.

Also, is it just me or is it on everyone? I found N97 signal not as strong as E71.

I don't know enough about the firmware files themselves to give you an answer.

What I can tell you is that, a) that battery usage seems odd, and b), correct, my E71's reception was also better.

thanks. :) i will keep an eye on the battery. it could be some of the program (Traveler) which sometimes pop up asking to connect to internet. I have turned off a lot of programs and will keep an eye on it.

reception < E71..... hmmm.... that's not good..... :(

I find my N97 reception to be bad in some areas. My E71 was bullet proof even in heavily cemented areas.

Still can't find a solution for garmin, its easy to find out for the N95 its well documented. But the N97 is different?

^ I had it on N95 and E71 and found it drains battery much faster than normal. I love Garmin, but I'd rather have longer battery life. ;)
