David Gilson is a S60 veteran, mainly using 3rd Edition, but hadn't used a touchscreen device until recently (with the 5530). Going for broke, we arranged for a him to go all the way, to trial a Nokia N97 for a month, looking forward to the chance of getting a fresh take on this most-talked-about Nokia flagship, unencumbered by disappointments from the device's early firmwares. Not that it made much difference in terms of the N97's known hardware limitations, but it's still good to get David's take.
"The placement of the N97's headphone socket has to be criticised, as it can make holding the phone in landscape mode difficult and uncomfortable. For a device designed to be frequently used in landscape mode, it would have made more sense to put the headphone socket on one of the longer sides of the device."
