The Nokia N97 being assembled at the factory

The Nokia N97 is shipping and we have proof. Carita from the Nokia Conversations team got a tour of the Salo factory, in Finland, and got to see N97s being assembled and packed into trucks. conversations.nokia.com

    gamer1st , your question related to free N97 for staff,

    well they can if they want it’s true, friend of mine works for HTC and he has a Touch pro 2 for free because he simply works for them, the company likes to take care of there workers it’s common sense

    Even though the units are mostly identical, this manual assembly sure makes them unique in some way. Just like a Ferrari: all with the same design, but never identical.

    This points out the respect and discipline required to create truly awesome products. I take this assembly method to be a personal compliment by the Nokia team to their new customer (me).

    I own this phone (yeah, I am one of the lucky ppl) and use it mostly for business purposes. The N97 is not perfect, especially when it comes to software and I have seen some mixed opinions about the device itself in many reviews.

    For me, however, it is the best mobile device possible, bringing my on-the-go experience close to perfection.

    Also, knowing someone actually assembled at least some part of it manually, makes me appreciate it even more. Good job NokiaConversations for the post.

    i don’t really like nokia but nokia has really drastically changed their design team over the past years. they used to have circular keypads. that was so ugly. now they look tons better.
