Just bought a new N97 last Friday and already having all the main problems that are had with the phone i.e the GPS lock problem, keyboard rattle and the phone's camera already has a scratch in it. I havn't even had it a full week yet. I emailed the place I bought it from and asked about the new backplate that fixes all but the keyboard problem adn they said there is no way to tell what batch of phones have the new backplate on them.My question is does anyone know when the revised N97 might reach the market? I'd say if you could get one that has the v20 firmware preloaded on it from the factory then I would have the modifications. How long does it generally take for the new firmware to reach the current market? Thanks.

I used to have Ubuntu installed, but honestly, I never used it. It just took up HDD space. I also had XP installed too, but I never really used that anymore either.I tried KDE4 out a while back though, and I found the entire effects to be glitchy, and it's not like my video card couldn't handle it (it was a 8800GTS 512 mb). Compiz-Fusion worked great under Ubuntu, so I just came to the conclusion that the effects in KDE4 were poorly written.So, have the fixed the effects? I remember the minimizing/maximizing effect being extremely buggy. I probably won't install Linux again until I get a new computer and make my current one a Linux box, but that won't be until around 2011, after I had graduated from college.

Hi there,I haven't got any ideas, but I was wondering if you ever got a solutionas I would like to do the same thing. Cheers!
