Nokia N97 - black (unlocked)

The Nokia N97 features a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and 32GB of internal flash memory. The smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS and comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera

The N97's touch user interface isn't well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing, especially compared with the competition. We would have preferred a capacitive touch screen instead of resistive

While the Nokia N97 is packed with features and offers the freedom of an unlocked phone, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag, and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the ...

By GSMArena team

The Nokia army of touchscreen smartphones gets larger by the hour and the Nokia N97 mini is surely one of the most interesting new recruits. The Finnish company has obviously reconsidered its priories and now focuses on optimization, rather than ...

Slide-n-tilt 3.2" 16M-color resistive touchscreen of 640 x 360 pixel resolution ; 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and VGA@30fps video recording ; Symbian OS 9.4 with S60 5th edition UI with kinetic scrolling ; Slide-out three-row full ...

The S60 touch UI is still inconsistent ; Outdated camera interface and features ; No DivX or XviD video support out-of-the-box ; No smart dialing ; No office document editing (without a paid upgrade) ; No camera lens protection ; No FM transmitter ...

The original Nokia N97 was the first sign of that as it hardly offered any ground-breaking features, instead relaying on the good all-round performance. However the first high-end S60 touchscreen handset left enough room for another similar handset in ...

Nokia N97

By John Walton
