The editors didn't like

  • Currently
  • The Nokia N97 is only being released in Europe
  • So American consumers may have to wait a while

  • Symbian S60 feels out of date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

  • Incall quality is not good enough

  • Disappointing voice capabilities
  • Symbian still too obtuse in places
  • Price
  • No onscreen keyboard
  • Specifications not largely improved from previous models

  • Large, beautiful screen with high sensitivity, GPS is fast and trouble free, Good audio quality, Reliable, high quality sliding mechanism
  • Incall quality is not good enough, Lack of full Office support, Limited support of video formats
  • With the Nokia N97, the manufacturer brings their top range N-series into the realm of smart phone fashion that is called touch sensitive screens. The phone is also being introduced as a mobile computer, although it is far from being one. Computers sho...

  • On paper, the N97 is a hell of a device. We like the feel of the N97 and its interface looks interesting so far. We expect it will easily cover the basics in functionality found in previous N-series devices, which have always been highly-capable multim...

  • Abstract:  Nokias always kept the top N spot for its brightest new star: weve had the N95, then the N96, and now the long awaited N97. But a lot has changed since the N95 launched to great fanfare in 2007 - Apple launched the iPhone, BlackBerry got Bold, and...
