While Will is busy cranking away posts about the iPhone thanks to the 3G S launching in less than 48 hours, and Simon is causing jealously all over Canada thanks to his latest Facebook announcing that he just recived his Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N97 in the mail, I’m left here, in Finland, at nearly 3 in the morning with a sun that refuses to set. So what do I do to pass the time?
Watch videos like these:
Great job Phone Arena! Make sure to read their entire text review of the Nokia N97 while we wait for Simon to write his thoughts up. Personally, I just want a damn E72 already!

Oh no! They don’t view it as the second coming of Jesus.
How fast are all the N-fanbois going to cry foul
Really, Nokia didn’t manage to pull off what everyone expected.
The CPU is old and slow. Available RAM for apps is not enough for a flagship multimedia phone. Camera is nowhere near the quality of Samsung i8910 or other top end rivals. Browser is slow, old and tired (HTML5 where?). Screen has a small resolution and is not very responsive. Touch UI is still ‘first effort’ level of quality – nowhere near Pre, iPhone or even the best of WM skins (TF3D etc). And the messaging features really are lacking compared to E-series (what, N-series users are not allowed to have efficient email?).
32GB built-in flash does not make these shortcomings go away.
Hope there’s a N97i in the pipeline and fast. Or something more noteworthy from the E-series.
Nokia really needs to shape up their game next year.
