The editors didn't like

  • Currently
  • The Nokia N97 is only being released in Europe
  • So American consumers may have to wait a while
  • It has a pretty hefty price tag
  • But this can be expected to lower as it gets onto and stays on the market for a while
  • Keyboard and navigation pad can be difficult to us
  • Symbian S60 feels out of date
  • Maddeningly glitchy software was not improved by a recent update
  • Operating system has not been properly reworked for touch screens
  • Bad reception and poor call quality
  • Unpredictable behavior
  • Nag screens galore
  • Seems to break easily (battery cover espe...
  • Super expensive
  • Buggy widget system
  • Crash-prone
  • Awkward keyboard layout
  • Large and heavy
  • Temperamental web browser
  • And sometimes needs double taps to activate selection.Look and Feel...
  • Incall quality is not good enough
  • Lack of full Office support
  • Limited support of video formats
  • The N97s touch user interface isnt well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing
  • Especially compared with the competition. We would have preferred a capacitive touch screen instead of resistive.
  • Somewhat cludgy touch screen
  • Keyboard needs more tactile feedback
  • Disappointing voice capabilities
  • Symbian still too obtuse in places
  • Price
  • No onscreen keyboard
  • Specifications not largely improved from previous models
  • Mediocre touch interface design. Apps not optimized well for touch. Camera
  • Media playback features underpowered. ...
  • Unstable firmware
  • Slow processor

  • Abstract:  Plain and simply put the Nokia N97 felt great when I got it in my hands. The device offers a length of 117.2mm, width of 55.3mm and 15.9 mm in thickness. The size makes it perfect for throwing in your pocket, while still large enough to navigate aroun...

  • Abstract:  A few weeks ago, David Gilson wrote up his thoughts on the N97 classic. While there was an awful lot to like about it, he found it to be undermined by an unstable OS, due to insufficient RAM & C: drive space. He was also curious to see if the N97 mini was really everything the N97 classic could have been...

  • Abstract:  Introduction Steve has already covered the N97 and N97 mini in great detail, so I wouldn't presume to replicate his Herculean review. The model I received seemed to be brand new, and checking the software version showed it to be running the version 21 ...

  • The Nokia N97 is built to last and perform while giving you the best experience. The overall voice quality is very good. It has a full QWERTY slide out keyboard and the display tilts so it is easier to see things. You also get a mix of music, radio an...

  • Abstract:  A few weeks, perhaps even almost a few months ago, Nokia introduced their flagship handset, the Nokia N97. I’m not a die hard Nokia fan, but what little I did see about the N97 before the official announcement had me relatively excited, and some what h...

  • Abstract:  As noted earlier, the operating system doesn’t help. In our recent look at the E75, which also uses Symbian S60, we said that Symbian worked great and that it was more like a Windows experience than the competing Windows Mobile device, Samsung’s Propel Pro..

  • I wish I could have found more positive things to say about this device. Im sure fans will not be happy with this review, but the simple truth is that the Nokia N97 is the most unusable phone I have ever held to date. I was notified on my second run w...

  • The Nokia N97 spent a bit more time in development because Nokia needed its launch to be nearly-perfect. It's not a nearly perfect device, though. Though updated, the Symbian OS can be off-putting for some users when compared to other current mobile d...
