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  • Symbian S60 feels out of date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

  • Great touchscreen and keyboard, Huge 32GB of internal storage, Camera is a highlight, Decent media playback
  • Inconsistent performance, Symbian platform needs a UI overhaul
  • The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.

  • Flip-up design, QWERTY keyboard, 32GB of internal memory and microSD slot, 5-megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headphone jack, customisable widget-based homescreen
  • Resistive touch screen rather than capacitive, user interface is a mixed bag, software lacks the polish of competitors, odd placement of navigational pad and spacebar, no Comes With Music subscription included
  • Although the Nokia N97 dwarfs the iPhone in terms of features, the software doesn’t match the standard set by Apple. The N97’s flip-up design, keyboard and massive storage capacity are fantastic features, but it needs software upgrades and fur...

  • Abstract:  Many of you won’t be able to progress beyond the staggering price, but on paper, the Nokia N97 looks as if it could rival the other big phones of recent months, the Apple iPhone 3GS and HTC’s Android-based Magic. It has more memory than the other two...

  • A proper keyboard that feels comfortable and sturdy.
  • The touchscreen is less responsive than we’d like, and worse than rivals.
  • The best Nokia yet, but it still has its fair share of rough edges....

  • Abstract:  The N97 has plenty of features and its touch based operating system is still something of a novelty for Nokia. We aren't convinced it is as responsive or intuitive as other touch based smartphone operating systems, though. Nokia - N97 price Buy Nokia ...

  • Nokia's phones are reliable, solid and exceptionally accessible. There will be many people who've held back from touchscreen phones because they didn't want to lose the Nokia user-friendliness. The N97 is a good phone, with lots of good features, but t...
