Nokia N97
Friday, December 5th, 2008 by crunchballNokia has just revealed its latest phone in the N series line up, the N97.
It runs on the latest symbian 9.5 and has touchscreen capabilities.
It will fulfill almost anything you need:
- It comes with a full qwerty keyboard that slides out on side of the device a la Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson, making messaging a breeze
- For photography needs, it comes with a 5MP camera. Personally, I’m glad that Nokia did not choose to use a sensor that offers a much higher pixel count, as this would often mean more, lousier sensors crammed on a same-sized sensor chip. Hence, I think we can assume that the quality of the camera will better than those latest, “best”, 8MP cellphones
- It comes with 32GB INTERNAL onboard storage, with a Micro-sd storage slot
- It runs widgets, and many useful apps similar to those on the Google Android and iPhone will be available soon, so it’s a big plus
- Its web browser supports flash
- However, the set back is the great price typical of the N9+ models
In my opinion, it really does make the iPhone looks like a toy and shouts out that its a serious phone. It looks a little too serious though as its rather blocky and does not share the bling in its design with a rather boring grey casing.
Here’s a demo of the N97:
