it's not my fone, my friend had one on him during dinner tonight. nothing to be jealous about really, i mean i could give any one of you guys this thing right now and you'll probably dismiss it as a piece of shit because the software is alpha level. anyway, camera testing? didn't do that since it's an early prototype and there is almost no point in taking a test picture since the quality goes up by a mile. how's the keyboard? i have to get used to it, but honestly i hate it. keys are too slippery, the space key throws me off, and the comma is accessed by a function key as opposed to having a dedicated key. grrr.
this was over dinner, i wasn't really going over the thing with a fine tooth comb. a) that would be rude and b) it's still wayyy to early to make an impression about this device.
I wonder how much of the early feedback on this device will make it back to the program team so they can make the device that actually ships suck less than the early protos.
Not having played with it myself, but just from the pictures, my biggest concern is the keyboard.

and i'm not going to compare shipping hardware and software with an early prototype, that's just ... lame.

I got to play with the N97 at the Symbian Partners event. I really like the grippy ramp on the back of the phone. http://share.ovi.com/media/norcalbarney.mymedia/norcalbarney.10113
