The Sexy N97 Classic
It’s 07:50hrs. I’m immersed in some reading until I realise that my mobile phone is ringing and I have to pick it up and answer. So that was Mr. DHL, saying that he has to do the delivery and was asking about where I live exactly. So the description as usual, “ou koner kot sa ena Mandir?” … “oui”… ” apres Mandir, imper plu devant, ena ene Masjid a droite, juste apres Masjid la ena Ideal Supermarket, vine la bas mem” lol
So exactly 3 hours later, at 10.50hrs, here he comes. Fortunately, I knew Mr. DHL. We got to know each other when I was working as Receptionist at Maersk (Mauritius) Limited, back in 2008. After acknowledging receipt of the parcel (signing the document), he gave me the packed parcel. *ting*
So let’s start the unwrapping process.
The sealed package
Inside the packet
The Return Documentation - The form is already filled + you are given the DHL package
So the Nokia N97 Classic I got is white with silver linings. It’s beautiful and it’s sexy *ting*
Can I say love at first sight? Indeed.
So Day 1 experience, says I think I’ll be using more of the touch screen than the QWERTY keyboard
It’s so small and I find it difficult to use :S
I am yet to explore the functionalities of the phone given I am a noob in the field. Yeah, I have to admit, but with the help of our friend Google, I’ll be able to overcome my noobness.
There is one thing which is not working and it’s Maps. It says “Something went wrong and connection failed.”
I tried message reader and I must say it reads well, but the voice of the “virtual person” is boring. Couldn’t they have use a more sweet voice?
*kidding*
As for the camera, 5MP. I can say it’s good. I’m no pro in photography but the light is dull. This can be explained by what @carrotmadman6 said [I quote]: “It’s a dual-LED flash, not Xenon. That explains the weak light.”
Let’s have a look at my Jhansi Ki Rani - First Pic from the Nokia N97
So that’s all for a quick post. I’ll await @carrotmadman6’s review when he gets his
I seize this opportunity to thank Rwishi for all his words of wisdom and encouragement, without forgetting WOM World Nokia, Lydia and DHL for their service
I hope experiencing the Nokia N97 will be a great one.
Erratum: Pics for the unwrapping process have been from my Nokia 5130 XpressMusic 2MP camera.
And oops, I forgot about the BH-214 headset. I haven’t tried it yet ![]()
