You might think, then, that Im quite down on the N97. Thats not strictly true. I loved my E90, I love Nokia phones, and the N97 is not a bad phone. Its just not a great one, and its certainly not great compared with the competition. Given that thi...
Abstract: The Nokia N97 is Nokias latest flagship N series phone and the second Nokia to have a touch screen and S60 5th Edition (the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was the first by several months). At $699 list, the N97 costs about twice as much as the 5800 and as mu...
In common with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, the Nokia N97 is a really cool phone that can do a lot, but the features just don't come together as seamlessly as in other smartphones on the market. The Symbian OS doesn't simply need an update; it needs a...
The Nokia N97 features a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and 32GB of internal flash memory. The smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS and comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera.
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.

Abstract: Recently, Engadget editors Thomas Ricker and Chris Ziegler received Nokia N97s just days apart from one another. Already established pen pals, the two immediately began to correspond across the Atlantic via carrier pigeon, discussing their very different ...

Mediocre touch interface design. Apps not optimized well for touch. Camera, media playback features underpowered. ...
The Nokia N97 wouldnt be such a disappointing device if it werent supposed to be the flagship multimedia smartphone for the largest handset manufacturer in the world. It has some great specs, including that impressive 32GB of storage (expandable to...
Nokia tried really hard here, but to be honest, speaking from my personal opinion, the second I saw the N97 announcement I skipped right over it in my head. I’m the biggest N95-4 fan you’ll find — but S60 5th Edition with a resistive screen, horrible ...
