Nokia n97 has been rated to be the equal match and sometimes even better than the iPhone. It is one powerful device, with amazing processor and spacious internal memory to satisfy even the pickiest user. There are so many features that makes it unique and some of them include the touchscreen and the full QWERTY keyboard, has 3G support, Bbluetooth, Wi-Fi and a great 5 megapixels camera.  Other than the high price it comes we can’t say so many bad things about it, after the review you’ll see for yourself.

In matter of design, Nokia n97 is very srylish and thin also. It measures 4.6 inches tall by 2.1 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick and it weights 5.29 ounces. The construction is solid and when you slide the QWERTY keyboard out you feel it steady and not at all lose. The touchscreen has 3.5” and shows 16.7 million colors at a 640x360 pixel resolution. The images are very clear and bright, clearer than the iPhone actually. The proximity sensor available will turn off the display when you are talking over the phone, that is if you put it to your ear. The bad thing in this case is the touch sensitivity; it is not quite as receptive.

You will have to firmly tap in order to receive the command. You will have to double check when you are writing something or entering applications, so you don’t have any surprises. Some menus respond to one tap, but some requite two taps, it can get confusing at some point. What is more scrolling through long lists is done with short movements and again a bit uncomfortable.

The home screen is improved, and you can choose to customize it as you like. You can put all applications you want on the screen and with just one touch you can have access to them. You can have about 8 widgets on your screen, arranging them cane done easily. You can put Facebook on your screen, contacts, Web pages, messages, maps, media player and so on.



There is a task manager available that allows you to see all your open applications and switch them. Nokia n97 has 32GB available as internal memory, being the largest amount seen in any phone at this moment. What is more you can even add an extra 16GB using the microSD card slot and have a total of 48GB.

You will need all of it to store all the applications you will find available. It uses the Symbian operating system, and it might not be as good as Google Android or Apple’s operating system as it has not been updated for touch interface. It could have been improved or used another one instead, as this one feels outdated. Some words about the 5 megapixels camera, it has Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED Flash, autofocus and 4x digital zoom. You can choose from various camera options and record MPEG-4 videos.



The 1500mAh lithium ion battery lasts 95 hours in talk time and 17.9 days in standby. Of course the call quality is great, as expected in all Nokia phones. This phone is internet friendly as all smartphones nowadays are. Another good thing about Nokia n97 is the Ovi store, where you can get all your applications.

When iPhone was launched on the market no one though there can be another gadget to beat it up. Well speculations have been made that the powerful and elegant Nokia n97 is going to be the one. Even after years, iPhone remains one of the best phones one could own and many have tried to beat it, but no one succeeded. So let’s see now the fight of Nokia n97 vs iPhone.

Let’s take the touchscreen and the display as the starting point. Both of them are similar and they measure 3.5”, but if you take a closer look, you will see that Nokia 97 display is clearer and what is more it features a higher resolution of 640x360, while the iPhone has a resolution of 320x480 pixels. Technologies regarding touchscreen are differently used in both cases, the iPhone has a very high sensitivity, whereas on the Nokia n97 you will have to put a bit more pressure into it, so the command has been acknowledge. We have cleared the story until now, Nokia wins at clarity, but the iPhone has a better sensitivity point.

Let’s move on to storage capacity. Nokia n97 has the bigger storage capacity among all phones on the market, the internal capacity is of 32GB and you can even add an extra 16GB using the microSDHC card. In this way you will have a total of 48GB. The iPhone 3GS comes in two varieties, the 16GB one and the 32GB.

Furthermore, in regards of processor an RAM, both phones use PowerVR SGX graphics, which supports OPENGL ES 2.0. but Nokia uses ARM 11 CPU which can go up to 434 MHz and has 128 MB of RAM, whereas the iPhone 3GS has ARM Cortex A8 processor at 600MHz and 256MB of RAM. Obviously we can state that the iPhone packs more speed in this case. The operating system is clearly different, as Apple has its own operating system especially designed for multimedia use.



Nokia n97 runs on Symbian v9.4 Series 60 rel 5 OS and the iPhone OS 3.0 is the one chosen for the iPhone 3GS. The operating systems for the iPhone is especially designed for multitasking and easy software development, it is internet ready and surfing around is done faster and easier. In the case of the Nokia n97 things are slower, as the internet browser isn’t that good either. iPhone is especially designed for internet users, as the internet is both the present and the future.



Connecting your e-mail, sending pictures is done without any problems and even a pleasure actually. We can’t say that Nokia isn’t internet ready, but surfing around isn’t that pleasant. But we will give Nokia some extra credits for supporting Java and Flash. Both are missing in the case of the iPhone. Let’s analyze also the applications availability. App Store is available for the iPhone and you have loads of fun and interactive ones to choose from, but it is the only place you can get them. When we talk about Nokia we have both Ovi store and internet, as apps for Nokia are easily available anywhere you look.

In conclusion, you can put them in a tie, as the competition Nokia n97 vs iPhone has two winners. Both are popular and both are loved.
