For those who followed my personal blog, You might have know I've recently bought a Nokia N97 mini. Have been using it for about 2 weeks, here the list of 5 things I hate Nokia N97 mini.
Uncommon Charger USB Port
- Nokia N97 mini used mini USB port for data communication and power charging but the it's an uncommon one among it's family.
- The battery it used was 1200 mAH but would need to charge the phone daily with only some basic usage.
- Nokia N97 mini and it's elder brother N97 has only 128mb of RAM. It was always a hunger for it to run/execute apps.
- Dust and scratches always are the main enemy for the unprotected surface.
- TV-out cable were removed in the packages.
What do you guys think? Feel free to drop me you comments here.

A charger exchange program started for a limited number of Nokia-branded chargers. If you have a charger type AC-3E, AC-3U or AC-4U you should visit the Nokia charger exchange website to find out how you can check whether yours needs to be replaced. The exchange program only applies to a restricted number of chargers manufactured over a short period, available in a select number of countries.
During a routine quality control process, Nokia identified a potential product quality issue with certain chargers manufactured by one of its third-party suppliers. The plastic covers of the affected chargers could come loose and separate, exposing the charger’s internal components and potentially posing an electrical shock hazard if certain internal components are touched while the charger is plugged into a live socket. Nokia is not aware of any incidents or injuries related to these chargers.
Only a limited number of chargers of certain model types manufactured by a single third-party supplier during a specific time period are within the scope of the exchange program. They are the AC-3E and AC-3U models, manufactured between June 15, 2009 and August 9, 2009; and the AC-4U model, manufactured between April 13, 2009 and October 25, 2009.
If you have one of the affected chargers, we suggest you stop using it and exchange it for a free replacement. You can find out if yours is eligible for replacement from the Nokia charger exchange website or your local Nokia website.

Opera has just released a new version of mobile browser, Opera Mini 5 Beta.
It's a total new interfaces that works as handy as the desktop version of browser. The browser works ideally on touchscreen devices such as Nokia 5800 XPM, N97 & N97 mini and also keypad-ed phone.
The Opera Mini has added a few quite practical features that I would say, such as speed dial, password manager, tabbed browser, power kinetic scrolling and option click (second click/right like mouse pointer)
Captured some screen snaps of Opera Mini 5 Beta.
Speed Dial - Speed dial works like a set of visual bookmarks of your favourite Web pages and can be access in with a single click. It's just like what IE 8 & Google Chrome has. Ergonomic mini QWERTY keyboard added for keys input. Auto complete URL also available for ease typing.
Tabbed Browser - With Opera Mini, you can have few Web pages loaded at the same time without interrupt one session to start another and the pages can be tabbed easily from one to another.
It displays the overview of page and suggests where to begin your reading before zoom in by double click. Kinetic scrolling and intelligent zooming made page reading easily and fast. Opera Mini are capable to detects Web page designed for mobile view and display optimally. It does support landscape & portrait display.
Highlight, Copy, Paste & Search are another interesting features that not to miss in a Web browser.
Password Manager - There's no more hassle to key in usernames and passwords over again when it can save your credentials.
Although it's a java mobile browser, it does able to give a superior web experience on a mobile device.
Pros: Fast and user friendly interface, awesome power kinetic scrolling, application launching seem way faster compare with older version.
Cons: Does not support video playback eg; Youtube and flash.
