How To: Hard reset N97

August 24th, 2009

The most imp thing before hard reseting your N97 : Take a full backup.

The hard reset completely erases everything you have on the internal memory (including settings), but doesnt touch anything on the mass memory. So if you want to format your mass memory, go to Applications -> Office -> File Manager then enter your mass memory. Select Options->Format Mass Memory.

Switch off your N97 and press these four buttons together for few seconds (till you get a white screen on your phone). If done correctly, the first screen you will get is ‘Select your country’.

Power Button + Space Bar + Caps Shift Bar + Delete button

Dont forget to backup all your settings and data before hard reseting your N97.

Review : N97 QWERTY keyboard

June 29th, 2009

One of the highlights of the Nokia N97 is its QWERTY keyboard. All the reviews i came across before i got my N97 said its all good. I got mine last week (finally !). Wanted to use it for at least a week before putting up a review, hence the delay.

So hows it ?

Its REALLY good. This is my first phone with a qwerty keyboard and it took me 5 mins to get used to the whole system. Typing is super smooth. I like how they have placed the D-pad on the left side. Everyone mentions how tiny the space bar is, but for me thats a huge plus (also, its not that small even). » More: Review : N97 QWERTY keyboard
