Mobile Phone N97 GPS Navigation


Phones got so advanced now that you can find all you need, now they  don’t have just some of the features, they have it all and in most cases  they succeed in replacing your gadgets, so you don’t need so many  around you. They simplify your life and they help you save some more  using one gadget.

Such a phone is Nokia N97. It acts as your digital camera (having a great 5 megapixels with Carl Zeiss lens), music player, video player, offers GPS navigation,  web navigation, and as a game player and so on. And thus you can  imagine how useful a smart phone is and how many improved functions it  has. And being Nokia it gives it an extra credit.



Nokia N97 mobile phone has integrated A-GPS sensors,  which establish the phone’s location no matter where it is, so you can  update your status on Facebook for example, or other social networks and  even share your location with your friends and family. And due to some  useful applications, you can stream video while you are actually filming  it. Other GPS navigation issues include both standalone and  assisted GPS, meaning it uses satellites and cellular triangulation in  order to establish your position.

Being equipped with Nokia Maps application, the built-in compass will orientate the map depending on  your direction. In order to benefit from turn-by-turn directions, voice  guidance you will have to pay extra, but for a quick preview, Nokia  offers a three-month trial so you can get a bit of the action. It’s  pretty nice to have your won navigation system in your pocket and always  be able to find your way or a certain location, restaurant, bar, and  any other business.



But this is not only the great feature Nokia N97 mobile phone has, it also offers a full QWERTY keyboard, the largest amount of  internal memory, which is 32GB and still expandable, 3G support,  Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a great screen resolution. It might not have the  best user interface and sometimes scrolling around can be difficult and  you need to be a bit firm, but when you see the amazing display and the  vibrant colors, you will definitely start loving it.

When it comes to  the design, it reassembles a bit the iPhone, having almost the same  measurements (4.6 inches tall by 2.1 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick) and  weighting 5.29 ounces. It has a solid construction and even if you will  use the QWERTY keyboard a lot, the sliding mechanism seems like holding  on for a long time. The display itself measures 3.5”, supporting 16.7  million colors and having a 640x360 pixel resolution.  You have all the  freedom in the world when it comes to customizing the home screen. You  can have a maximum of eight widgets and you can arrange them as you  desire.  The task manager helps seeing which application is running,  closing any unwanted applications, switch them around and so on.



The QWERTY keyboard should be tested first, because there are two  categories of users out there: the ones loving it and the ones hating  it, so it is up to you to see how you feel about it. From the pictures  you can see the keys are nicely spaced and have a reasonable layout.
