Nokia N97 – for all your mobile needs!

The new N97 from Nokia is more like a handheld computer than a mobile phone. Not only does it have a QWERTY keyboard that slides out but it also features a touchscreen, which is definitely its highlight. The screen measures 3.5 inches across, the same size as the screen of Apple’s iPhone 3G S. However, the Nokia N97 features a higher resolution than the iPhone with 640 x 360 pixels. This one feature on the N97 gives the feel that it is more of a handheld computer than a mobile phone.

The phone’s customisable home screen can be packed with information. The time and date, weather forecasts, your inbox, Facebook, RSS feeds, and links to web pages can all be viewed on the screen simultaneously. It definitely encourages the use of mobile Internet. Once you have used it you will never want to go back to the way you did things before. This phone also features fast Internet connections. You can choose between a connection through 3G HSDPA or through the faster Wi-Fi.

Nokia has not upgraded the phone’s camera but that doesn’t appear to be a problem as the N97’s camera is a good one anyway.

The Nokia N97 is a phone that is packed with goodies and when you look at its features, it is almost comparable to a laptop. Using it makes you feel that you are firmly in the 21st century, especially if you use its Internet-based features. The N97 also features an impressive 32GB internal memory. What’s more impressive is that you can add another 16GB of memory if you wish.
