  • The Nokia N97 Mini is a good upgrade in terms of form factor from the original N97. The software improvements are applicable to the predecessor through updates, but the N97 mini gets a lot of attention for its great looks. The N97 mini feels a l...

  • Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the N97. Powerful camera and multimedia performance. Free Ovi Maps GPS navigation.
  • Slow. Buggy. Mediocre keyboard.
  • The Nokia N97 mini is an improvement over the original N97, and the free Ovi Maps GPS app rocks. But there's still not enough here to pull U.S. buyers away from other smart devices....

  • The Nokia N97 Mini is a more stable and better designed device than the bigger N97, but its Achilles' heel remains as the confusing user interface keeps it behind today's leading touch-screen smartphones. Read full review Check coverage in your ar...

  • Sturdy build, good camera, clear call quality
  • Aging OS, poor touchscreen, awkward keyboard, sluggish
  • From its rather sluggish performance to its gimmicky widget homescreen, the N97 mini isn't much of an improvement over the N97 - nor is it a very exciting device. Its smaller form factor is appreciated, but the operating system is lackluster and aging...

  • In terms of operational speed and system stability, the Nokia N97 mini performs better than the N97. The phone doesn’t freeze or restart for no reason, but lags and responds to commands just as sluggishly.The smaller N97, however, is a much better at p...
