Nokia N97 Pre-Order, Php40K Price Tag?

Bad-ass phone..:D… but after 3 or 4 months they have another model…

lol 40k! no thanks I think I’ll stick with my 5800 for now. wonder what the next flagship model will be like . . . ooh and for those who have Philippine 5800s you can already update to V 2.1 through NSU :D

laptop na lang or netbook. mahal naman ata.. :(

what?… sobra naman ang bilib ni Nokia sa pricing nila. Though may bibili niyan for sure.

40k maybe? ouch. i can get so much other gadgets with that amount

I’ve always seen the gray one everywhere. First time I’ve seen a black one, tapos yan lang ang available na color. Gray one looks more expensive, oh wait…

@jhay . Yes Nikon D90 is better. lol

for that price i’d get an omnia or wait for the omnia HD to arrive here. or better yet by a cheap mobile and a netbook, i’ll still have more than 10,000 in change.

One thing I don’t like about nokia units is how they depreciate so fast. So to spend 40k on one would fly in my book.

Not a good phone by just looking at it, it’s quite bulky.I’ll wait for SE Aino..

i’m definitely getting this pay monthly with Vodafone:D

With the advent of the cheaper netbooks I think that expensive do-it-all phones are on their way out. I find surfing on a phone difficult because of the small screen. But I do like the convenience of a camera phone – the best combination for me would be a good 3G phone with 5megapixels or more and a netbook. Like others here have noted I can get these and still have a lot of change left over from the 40th price tag.

very expensive. pero ayos na rin sa dami ng features.

interesante naman at marami pa ring mga pinoy ang hindi nahuhulog sa consumerism. masyado naman yata talagang mahal ang P40k para sa isang cellphone na makukuha lamang ng mandurukot :P

yugatech’s price is exaggerated, it won’t reach 40K “duh!”.. and the n96 nowadays costs around 28k-32k.. i bet the N97 will be ranging from 33-35k.. and its a good buy, an all in one phone and you get a chance to win a router.. i’ll be getting one for sure, an upgrade from my N95..

here in singapore its about 1200sgd times 32 so its 38400php tapos may installed apps for singapore like cinemas and bus stop infos. june 15 daw labas

update here in sg…comes with music 1288sgd without comes with music its 1088sgd…and its hard to find without comes with music…just to give you guys an idea on the prices as normally mas mahal ng konti dito pag nokia

finally got one in black without comes with music hehehe ganda! sulit hahaha u should have a data plan para magamit lahat ng features or wifi

I have just upgraded my Nokia N95 to an N97. So far, so good.

However, when anyone calls me on my phone it just displays “CALL CALLING” on the screen even though that person is listed in my contacts. I’ve had a decent look through the menus etc. but I cannot find how to make it display the contacts name when they ring.

Am I missing something obvious or is this a feature that requires a fix?

The only thing to mention is that I used Nokia PC Suite to backup the contacts from my N95 and then I restored them to my N97.

if you have any good idea for a mod, please share them at http://www.NokiaN97Forum.com

Many Thanks…

nokia is by and large quick to depreciate in value because they easily replace a current model with a new one simply by adding 1 or 2 more features to the next. it all depends on the gullible materialistic person who wants the latest model.. which in the philippines, we don’t lack of. lol

40k is too much but if you wait for 3-4 months more, it’ll drop down to around 35k. and that’s the reason i prefer sony ericsson. they’ve got better phones with good resell value. can’t wait for aino. =)

its now down to 28K. Its not new from the nokia’s phone that getting slice of price. I love nokia but im sure i want a phone like apple iphone that would take long to cut back price.
