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  • Symbian S60 feels out of date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
