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  • Symbian S60 feels out of date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

  • Wireless options include HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth stereo and A-GPS; 3.5mm audio jack; useful preinstalled apps; 32GB of onboard memory with microSD expansion card slot.
  • Inconsistent user interface; keyboard with flush keys hard to type on; dated S60 software; limited apps on Ovi Store.

  • Well designed, Superb audio quality, Great battery life, Very responsive touchscreen
  • Camera could have had more features, Camera quality is average, Rear panel didnt sit properly
  • ConnectivityIn this department, the N97 is well equipped, no more than most other Biz class handsets like the E71. It comes loaded with Wi-Fi, 3G with HSDPA, EDGE/GPRS, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and USB 2.0. Nokia Maps is on board (limited) for GPS usag...

  • Abstract:  Its an Nseries device we are talking about and we cant complain about looks. Hows that for a nice start? Now seriously, the Nseries are back on track and we dont mean that as a mere comparison to the misfiring N96. All-in-one is the game and the N...

  • Unique sliding tilt; great to surf on; excellent fusion of Qwerty keyboard and touch technology.
  • Substandard speakers; cumbersome battery cover.
  • There is an inherent charm in the Nokia N97 that is inescapable. From placing it on a table and writing an SMS to surfing on a fantastically long landscape mode, it was all quite memorable as far as phones go. Also, I thought the price was quite reaso...

  • Abstract:  Remember when you'd come home after a tiring day and the missus—or your mom—would be right in the kitchen cooking all your favorite dishes for one glorious meal? The Nokia chef is doing that exactly with this scrumptious N97 "mobile computer." Tasty ingre...

  • To be honest, the Nokia N97 is the device that will set the standard for its upcoming N series. As the first N series device to utilize the S60 touch UI, it isn't easy, and the Finnish company is still muddling around to edge itself further in the comp...
