I was having problems with the widgets on the homescreen of my N97, all of which are installed on the e: drive to save space on the pitifully small c: drive (thanks to poor design by Nokia). The first thought that came to my mind was that having apps/widgets installed on the slower e: drive was causing the problems. I have since uninstalled these widgets and re-installed them on the c: drive, and of course this seems to have resolved these problems. While this appears to be a solution to the problem it comes at the cost of losing more c: drive space and it's impractical to install all apps/widgets on the c: drive.
Has anybody else experienced stability/performance issues related to having their apps/widgets installed on the slower e: drive of their N97?
As Nokia fixed the design for the N97 Mini and the X6 with double the NAND memory, I think it's about time that Nokia officially recognise this problem on the N97 and detail how they are going to resolve it. If this means a product recall, so be it. They could take the opportunity to update the N97 design to fix all of the other problems including the self-harming camera lens, the poorly isolated GPS antennae, squeaky backplate, slow processor, etc...
IMHO taking responsibility for the mistakes in the N97 would go along way to reclaiming some credibility and stemming the loss of loyal customers to other ecosystems (noting that as we've moved passed the device-centirc era, these people having invested in apps and services in another ecosystem will take a long time before they are ready to change brands again).
P.S. I know this is a user to user forum but there is no other way to communicate this feedback to Nokia, the "Contact Us" method can only deal with queries and appears to have no mechanism for dealing with this sort of feedback and quite frankly if Nokia isn't taking the time to review these forums for feedback, it's their loss.
