Nokia N97 User

There are 2 ways that you can store your contacts online, one is using ovi and the other is Google Sync. I have my contacts stored at both locations but I still prefer to use Google Sync because I use Gmail and now Google Voice.

To set up Google Sync with your N97, you need to download Mail for Exchange. I’ve read that it’s available on Ovi Store but I couldn’t find it. However, on the N97 NAM MfE is already pre-installed on the device. All you have to do is open your N97 browser and type in “c:\installation\MailForExchange_S60_5_0.sisx” and hit “go to”. The application will start installing.

After installation, go to applications and open the MfE folder. Launch the application Mail for Exchange. Now continue with Google Sync : Setup Instructions and start synchronizing your contacts.

Remember to back up your contacts first before you sync with google. A couple on my contacts got replaced/deleted.

I’ve been getting a lot of low phone memory warning on my N97 due to very limited space on the C: drive. This forces me to delete Nokia Messaging as it will always run out of memory from downloading new emails; not only that, I can’t send out emails with attachments. Also you can’t install NM on the mass memory.  Read more…

I’ve been using the Nokia N97 for over a week now and I found a couple useful small features or functions that I thought was worth mentioning. This quick video will probably benefit new S60 users the most, but old S60 users might gain something as well. If you know any cool features or any tips & tricks worth sharing please leave your comment.
