Nokia N97 was a Disappointment – Nokia Admits

by Farhan on February 23, 2010

Mr Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President Markets admits in an interview given to All About Symbian and Mobile Industry Review that N97 was a big disappointment .

According to him N97 sold well and was a success in shipment and making money but where actual user experience is concerned it was  “disappointment” .

Anssi further admits that Nokia did tried to fix the problems associated with the software but the more they tries the more the situation went bad and they have stretched too long something which should not be stretched and when something is stretched from all sides , eventually nothing stays together and that happened with N97 .

Well I told Nokia Pakistan about the memory problems I was told that it’s only with a proto , I tried to ask the head of N series in MEA region and he didn’t answered my question and later they all were having the N97 nightmares and as Anssi says he can finally sleep after a lot of sleepless nights

Anyway the good news for all of us that another Firmware upgrade is in works and had been tested in the real world in Norway and Nokia has incorporated all the feedback to make the ultimate , error free OS so for Anssi his “ Agonizing Experience is Over “

He also talked about Symbian ^3 and how it’s going to be  a perfect OS and through Quality Control Process .

So what you think better late than never or you are angry at Nokia for selling a flawed phone for so long .

For me the admittance enhances my trust on Nokia that although they made a mistake , they were honest enough to admit and fix it although late but still my father’s N97 will work the way it should .

On a side thought , will Nokia port Symbian ^3 to N97 , just dreaming
