  • The N97 mini might be a cut-down version of the N97, but no way does that deter it from becoming a very good product. Plus, at Rs. 23,300, it is at least Rs. 6,000 cheaper than its bigger brother. Couple that with its very good design and multimedia perfo...

  • Nokia have always produced trustworthy phones in my eyes. Not always the fanciest of handsets but I find that you will rarely have an issue with them. I think that the N97 Mini will fall nicely into this view that I have. It has a sturdy build with wha...

  • After a relatively short time on sale, what has changed with the N97 mini over the original N97? Not a great deal. On the plus side it has lost a few pounds, but it now has less internal storage and a smaller screen. Our criticisms of the N97 handset r...

  • With its decent camera, okay browser, better than average music player Wi-Fi, HSDPA 3G and A-GPS The Nokia N97 Mini seems pretty, much as its predecessor did. Yet it’s still a frustrating experience to use, largely due to that irritatingly unrespons...

  • The Nokia N97 Mini has a strong set of specs, a variety of multimedia features that work well, and a solid design. And the addition of flick scrolling is definitely a big improvement to navigation. Unfortunately, the Mini is hindered by the Symbian S6...

  • Compact and well made. Roomy QWERTY. Decent camera and video performance. 3.5mm headphones jack. Fully featured navigation setup and quick GPS fix
  • Symbian OS starting to feel clunky. Erratic resistive touchscreen. Camera setup needs updating. No lens cap
  • Preferable to its bigger brother, the mini is a great all-rounder for those who like their smartphones to strike a balance between features and size ...

  • Abstract:  Nokia's N97 was one of the most hyped handsets of last year, but for many the final product didn't live up to expectations. It was bulky, the keyboard could have been better and its software wasn't as robust as it should have been. Nokia did address the l...

  • Build quality, all the tech specs you could want
  • Poor touchscreen, keyboard not the best layout, OS feels a little clunky and outdated, little wow factor
