Now that Nokia has the N97 rolling out around the world I think one of the first things prospective buyers will do is look at what available options there are for these QWERTY devices. HTC has been making these side slider QWERTY devices for several years and they have been quite successful. Nokia started with the E75, but the N97 is the first with a touch screen as well.

A nice feature on the Nokia N97 is the compass and the only way to really tell you about it is by showing you video of it in action. I like the addition of this sensor because I don’t have to walk to find out which direction I’m heading.

I had some high hopes for the Ovi Store, but am finding that it is a major failure so far. I posted my thoughts and personal experiences on my ZDNet blog and am curious to hear what other Nokia fans have experienced when it comes to using the Ovi Store

There are things we all love and hate about the devices we buy, no matter how awesome they are. At first you read that I was pleased with the N97, but not overwhelmed.

Last Tuesday, I was at the New York City Nokia Flagship store for the Eseries Social Media Meetup. Nokia users mingled with other fans as well as Nokia representatives. I was expecting to see the Nokia E72 because it was announced hours before the event, but it was nowhere to be found.

Another reason why I like the Nokia N97 and other Nokia phones with dual-LEDs flash is that I can record videos at night with the flash on. My dedicated HD camcorder Sanyo HD1010 can’t even do that.

I was just browsing through my Twitter feed and saw these amazing deals appear on Molly’s Twitter feed, Saturday - Sale on Nokiausa.com 50% off MSRP on E75. 15% off MSRP on N97.

While there was no Nokia E72 in sight at the Eseries Social Media meetup, a white Nokia E75 made an appearance. It was carried by the Director of Eseries Marketing in Americas, Hugo Hernandez. When asked about its release date, he was vague by simply saying, “It’s coming.” Pic after the jump.

Starting June 20th 9PM CST, Nokia USA is lowering their prices for only 3 hours.

I opened up my Nokia BH-703 today and was instantly blown away with it. The sound quality is really top notch and the design is really elegant. The BH-703 comes with three earplugs, an ear hook, a neck strap and AC-6U charger
