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  • Symbian S60 feels out of date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

  • Responsive touchscreen, spacious QWERTY keyboard, ergonomic tilting display and good allround multimedia performance.
  • Large and heavy, temperamental web browser, and sometimes needs double taps to activate selection.

  • Abstract:  Nokia's N97 is, for me, one of the most eagerly anticipated handsets of 2009. Yes, I know, we've had Apple and Android stealing a lot of the attention as far as smartphones are concerned, but Nokia was doing well with smartphones long before either of the...

  • Abstract:  Its an all out smartphone war The iPhone 3GS isn’t the biggest or grandest of updates, but for us, it does enough to maintain Apple’s number one spot. We assume Apple has taken an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” approach. Gone, however, are the ...

  • Abstract:  The Nokia N97 is a disappointment in all aspects. The design is clunky and dangerous, the firmware is unstable and features don’t live up to their description on paper. This smartphone looked so right so Nokia, how did you get it so wrong? ...

  • Touch screen, Full QWERTY keyboard, 32GB of internal flash memory, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, 5megapixel camera
  • Touch user interface isnt well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing, Resistive rather than capacitive touch screen
  • Although the Nokia N97 is packed with features, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the market...

  • 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 dont come together as seamlessly as in other smartphones on the market. The Symbian OS doesnt simply need an update; it needs a...

  • Nevertheless the N97 sort of scrapes by, for now. Its fast and responsive, the worst bugs will are certain to be fixed, and the most violently ugly parts of the user experience will be quietly thrown overboard. That leaves an OK iPlayer, an OK music ...

  • Nokia's been at the forefront of mobile phone innovation for years. Or at least it was before the iPhone sauntered in. It's taken a while, but the Finnish phone company's now thrown in its own iPhone equivalent - the all-powerful N97. First up...
  • Not too much here, to be honest. If we're being really picky, the secondary function key is hidden away on the right-hand side of the phone. Surely a more natural fit would have been to position it on the left-hand side? Hmm? Also, while this does com...
  • Touchscreens are all well and good, (and the N97's is good) but this handset makes QEWRTY keyboards fashionable again. A superb multimedia phone from the Finnish phone giant with but a few minor imperfections. Here's one in the pips for you, Apple...
