What About the N97?
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.
