AAS Insight Special - N97 audio unboxing

Published by at

In this special edition of the All About Symbian Insight podcast we offer an audio unboxing (you'll see!) of the Nokia N97. We recorded this podcast in Regents Park (London) a few hours after receiving the full retail version of the N97. Rafe and Steve run through their first impressions of the device, the in-box contents, thoughts on software updates and on a homescreen that's alive... Plus bonus 'footage' of the keyboard 'clip-clop' sound(!)

In this podcast we cover:

  • Audio unboxing of the N97, recorded as 'live' in Regent Park, London.
     
  • First impressions of the device in hand, build quality etc.
     
  • Box contents. Clip clop on the keyboard.
     
  • The importance of software and the emphasis, as seen in the press release, on later software upgrades (e.g. Skype). This is not a point product, but one that will continually evolve.
     
  • A homescreen that is alive.
     
  • Upcoming N97 content plans.

Thanks to the various wildlife (song birds, ducks and geese) for joining in at various points during the podcast.
