Readers mentioned a noticeable light leakage on the white Nokia N97 protoypes and this got me concerned. When you’re spending a relatively large amount of money on a high-end device, you’re entitled to expect high quality from the manufacturer even if it means criticizing small issues like the light emitting from the call and end buttons. Fortunately, a recent Nokia N97 from Mobile Review does not show the problem anymore. Has Nokia fixed the issue?

Prototype A

Here are photos of a white Nokia N97 from Eric’s Nokia N97 preview on May 6th.

Prototype B

Here are photos of a white Nokia N97 from Mobile Review published on May 15th that does not show those problems.

I’m relieved that the Nokia N97 from Mobile Review does not have that ugly light leakage that showed up on Eric’s post. I hope the production model won’t have that problem because I love the white color on the Nokia N97.

We’ll have to wait until the production Nokia N97′s are available to the public to see if the issue has really been fixed. Anyone switching to the white N97 after reading this post?
