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.
