| Nov 11 | Nokia N97/N97 mini: part 2 – The OS, The Interface, The Apps | Interesting, but there is so little to differentiate. |

| Sep 7 | Nokia N97 firmware 2.0 looks to squash major pain points | It had better be some fancy acupuncture. |

| Dec 4 | Nokia N97 hands-on part II: the reckoning | Even prototypes get the blues: “Nokia has refused to revamp the OS wholesale to make way for touch devices, choosing instead to jumbo-size some button and icons, make a few tweaks here and there, and leave a few things completely – and often annoyingly – alone. While we expect ourselves to be clumsy with the OS, watching Nokia’s own best and brightest befuddled or merely hindered in execution by the interface peculiarities doesn’t bring us much hope for this generation of touchscreen phones, no matter how great the hardware may be.” |
| Dec 2 | Nokia Announces N97 Superphone, Won’t Sell It for Months | Om sees it in mostly the same way I do. |
