Orange UK have pulled the new n97 mini due to high return rates. So far around 20% of them have been returned with reports of faults. Orange refused to stock the original n97 due to software problems which never passed Orange testing. Carphone contines to sell it on the Orange network despite this. Nokia have messed up again having said themselves that they were going to make sure the n97 mini was going to be stable compared to the original n97. See more at www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk

WOW! So N97Mini is not much of an improvement from the original? Very disappointing NOKIA.
See nobody is out to get SE, other manufacturers get the same treatment.

Indeed. Though Carphone are saying their's seem ok maybe its Orange software causing problems which would not surprise me. The article says not many have been returned at Carphone. Probably big fuss about nothing when they say its one in ten returns. Nokia did promise the n97 mini would be better.

Perhaps s60 cannot cope with so many high end features and such complicated software in s60 cannot run things well. It needs updating and made more powerful s60 its dying a slow death.

The sim-free n97's still arean't right, the new v20 firmware while it fixed it the small issues it created a major issue in which the phone refuses to boot, so everytime you turn the phone on you just have to hope it boots if your luckly it will boot about 20 times, before messing itself up, then you have to hard reset, format the mass memory and re-install everything from scratch because the back-up software also doesn't work. Just avoid nokia's new phones unless you want alot of hassle and problems.

And yet its such a fantastic OS when stable,had my 5800 almost 2weeks now,not a single freeze,reboot or crash. Lets hope Symbian^2 and 3 are better.

I have been finding that generally Nokia's cheaper s60 devices such as Xpress Music range or even s40 are more reliable. Its just the more expensive s60 devices which suffer the worst. The 5530xm for instance hardly has any problems from the word go only minor ones.

Yeah noted this yest. posting about X2 drop by Voda

Well not much changed on N97 so yeah it came out with newest firmware that is better than complete farce N97 "classic" launched with (only took them 5 months to get it semi right) still waiting for another firmware to tidy up bugs at the moment 6+months after release (N97) and 13months after announcement. But N97mini was compromised by 1. Nokia's meaness and 2. Trying to not compromise the alledged flagsip product N97 Classic.

So although it had twice the ammount of C: (a tacit admission of the ridiculousness of the decision on the N97) which at least allowed some programmes to be installed without having to put everything on E:mass mem and worrying about browser cache and messaging running C: down to

Dunno why messgae keeps getting truncated here

So true,i guess the more expensive ones just have way too much to deal with,that many bugs may not even be seen until the users point them out.
