Judging from past photos, it’s sometimes better to leave the flash off when taking photos inside a restaurant. We had lunch at Green Papaya Thai restaurant and had the Nokia N97 to take photos of the food. There was a large window behind me with enough light coming in. I made sure to force the Nokia N97 to keep the flash off. Take a look.

When people ask me about the Nokia N97, I tell them I love it! It meets my needs better than any other devices currently out there including other Nokia phones or competitors like the Apple iPhone. That said, nothing is perfect. Here’s a list of 10 things I think Nokia should address in the upcoming firmware reported to come on July 1st.

One of my favorite things to do in Nokia devices is tweeting and sharing photos immediately from wherever I am. This is possible thanks to the “Share Online” app within the camera using a free service called Pixelpipe. I borrowed my wife’s new iPhone 3G S yesterday to see if I can do the same thing. My experience reminded me why I like my Nokia phones.

Last Tuesday, I was at the New York City Nokia Flagship store for the Eseries Social Media Meetup. Nokia users mingled with other fans as well as Nokia representatives. I was expecting to see the Nokia E72 because it was announced hours before the event, but it was nowhere to be found. Nokia was pushing the E71x and the E75, but I think the highlight was the session where we shared ideas with each other while Nokia folks took notes.

We started missing Italian food after coming back from vacation so we went to Bravo Cucina Italiana in West Nyack, NY to feed the craving. I had the Nokia E75 with me for photo samples and share with you what we had for dinner.
