Cellular,
smartphone The N97 suppose to be Nokia’s flagship and should compete with the iPhone and PRE, Is this so?
The-N97, is actually a type of hybridization between the features in the N-series (such as the flagship device N95) to the E-series (business series: E-QWERTY device- E90).
The most important features of a Smartphone are its functionalities and its size. Despite the fairly large-N97, yet this is a reasonable size for a phone with full keyboard and it feels like a reasonable mobile in hand, it’s convenient to hold and talk.
The keyboard is slipping away with a little drop-down angel of 45 degrees. The keyboard is easy to use even for users with large fingers. The SEND/END buttons are touch keys and many people might not be happy with that.
N97 runs with Simbian 5 but the interface is not so good like other smart phones. The touch screen is big and has good view, resolution of 640×360 support in 16 million colors TFT technology, But the technology is not the main problem, the choice of using the resistive screen- that requires a relatively large activation click.
The camera is great (5 Mega pixels) and it is good for night shots and video too. The N97 includes 32GB built-in memory that can be extended with additional 16 GB external SD card.
The device is little bit heavy (150 gr) but the voice quality and the loudspeaker device are excellent. It includes good player device WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS that is limited to operators navigators software only.

Cameras,
Cellular,
GPS Recently I found another great phone this time it’s Sony Ericsson’s phone. The best feature you can find there is the camera phone capability. I think it is one of the best cameras you can find in a phone. It has 8.1 megapixel with powerful flash.
Additional features included in this phone:
- 3G-HSDPA (High data rate)
- Wi-Fi
- GPS navigation system
- 8GB memory
- Media player
One drawback I found is the poor battery life, so if it is important to you, consider another phone.

GPS How many times have you enter to a building just to find out that it takes you forever to find the office you need?
Nokia has published research which its findings show that people who enter into buildings, “wasting” in there 90% of their time looking for the right place.
Well, all familiar navigation devices perform only outdoors, where there is a way to communicate with satellites in space. Another problem is that the accuracy of the civilian GPS versions is about 10 to 30 – meter. This fluctuation make it impossible to rely on.
Nokia, in collaboration with several leading universities, develop navigation program for indoors to help us easily find the car we left in the parking lot, to get to the right store in a shopping center within seconds, or rush to the right gate at the airport.
The idea is to use wireless Internet access point in the building, and the exact location will be calculated by the cell-phone accordance to the distance from the nearest access point. Nokia runs the system on 40 – buildings in the world, including shopping centers, airports and universities – all with existing wireless acces points.
The new development, will be integrated into Nokia Cell- Phones and probably will change the area of location-based services (LBS) which is the main lines of growth of cellular marketing.
