I've taken out the battery and left it to dry near a radiator. Is there anything else i can do? - Ollie Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:30:21 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-332 Thanks for this really useful video - We currently have a customer that is saying that that the N97 screen scratches easily. This video proves how tough the screen and phone really is. I was surprised myself. We have high hopes for the new N97 mini and N900 due out in November and look forward to seeing those floating in cornflakes. Thanks guys. www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - Karl Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:53:08 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-299 I recently got a N97 and I see a lot of scratches on it. Are the scratches on the factory-fitted screen protector (the one with silver border) or are they actually on the screen? If I remove this protector, would the scratches disappear? - Deb Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:50:43 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-247 Today i was training with my butterfly knife for practicing styles, accidentlly the knife dropped on the phone. i got 2 HUGE, DEEP scratches on the screen now. the LCD display isn't harmed at all, all pixels showing fine, just 2 god-damn scratches. sending to factory today. - Young OZ Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:10:22 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-215 hmm...after taking the factory screen protector off i noticed that it already had a scratch on the screen about 2 inches along the side. how can you not have a scratch from a sharp key and i have it from the factory...sooo annoying to see and such a hassle to have to exchange that i'll probably just live with it. stupid screen... - Louie Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:31:18 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-203 Thank you for those stress tests. But honestly, why the hell don't you torture the open/close mechanism? It should even work perfectly after 2 years of use ! - Alex1337 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:45:27 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-191 Check out this video review of the Nokia N97. It's probably the best video review i've seen. A very detailed review with a touch of humour aswell. Also notice the Nokia N97 vs. Touch Pro2 lightsabers at the end of part 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJe9Nd_wx0 - jukka.saloranta@gmail.com Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:56:04 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-188 But will it blend ? - Rod Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:17:36 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-187 When i said makeup test i mean when you talk ob the phone, The screen always seems to get make up on it from touching your face, just wondering if it will ruin the phone or if make up can be removed? thanks - Cassandra Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:23:50 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-186 Dropped on concrete surface.

You are indeed correct. I am a little annoyed I did not spot that during the test. That being said tho, we dropped the phone several times over them 2 days and at least 2 or 3 times from head height on pavement. Every single time with that 'combo' we had the same result... the back coming away and the battery spilling out. Never did the back come off on any of the other combos at any time. So, yes you are right that the back was not snapped closed properly, but imho - it would not have made a difference on the evidence of previous drops. - Kenny Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:52:44 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-172 Great videos! Just wanted to mention one thing. You didn't notice in your video, but the back cover came slightly loose after the hip-height drop test on pavement. You did not snap it back on firmly, you can see this just after 3.20 on the video. Perhaps this is why the back cover came off completely after the final drop. A very robust phone though! - Bobby Shafto Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:48:53 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-170 Hi, would just like to suggest another test (if its not too late). What about dumping it into a running washing machine with all the water and all the detergent? This was done by someone with the Nokia 5800 before and the (now rather famous) video of it is somewhere on the internet, I believe. - Jack Lee Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:52:19 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-165 Thanks to the internet, only one N97 in the world had to go through such agonizing tests. As for final tests, here are some suggestions: * slamming a car door shut with the N97 in between (suggested by a colleague of mine) * driving over it with a really large aeroplane or other vehicle (not original) * a just married version dragging an N97 along the back of a car for a couple of miles And of course, there is the final test. Will it blend? (willitblend.com). - Erik Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:56:45 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-164 wow - Its really an honor to have our blog and video featured on the front page of a great site like Engadget. It proves that even tho what we did was crazy :P People are interested as to how the phone stood up. We have more tests planned tomorrow - we aint finished with that phone yet! We've had a few people asking if it will blend... Well maybe it will :P - Kenny Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:22:30 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-163 I just saw this posted on Engadget and its a great set of tests. Agonising for any tech fan to watch but a real show if the build quality of the N97! How about once you're finished testing it you whack it on eBay for a charity auction? The famed, stress tested N97! Keep up the good work! http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/video-nokia-n97-gets-a-torture-testing-goes-great-with-milk/#commentform - Chaz UK Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:50:05 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-160 Thanks for doing the tests. I guess some dont understand the significance. But it's answered many questions for me so thanks :) Sherry - Sherry Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:34:06 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-158 Paul, please do same tests for iphone, palm pre, blackberry (with touch screen). Man at least with iphone. I wish to see how their capacitive "unscratchable" screen works this out. - Yury Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:58:12 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-153 You two are getting pretty well known. http://gizmodo.com/5299397/nokia-n97-waterproof-experiment-tests-hypothesis-that-nobody-ever-had ;D - Stella Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:52:34 +0100 http://www.n97geeks.com/General/nokia-n97-stress-test.html#comment-152 wow this article has received almost 3,000 hits! - Paul Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:31:00 +0100
