On paper, Nokia’s new flagship N97 ticks every box on our smartphone wishlist. There’s a whopping great touchscreen, a proper keyboard, top notch camera and whizzy smartphone software just itching to be fed 3rd party apps and games. So why so few stars...
A proper keyboard that feels comfortable and sturdy.
The touchscreen is less responsive than we’d like, and worse than rivals.
The best Nokia yet, but it still has its fair share of rough edges...

Nokia's N97 is a beast of a phone, with every feature imaginable in its 150g, 18mm-thick case. As well as the usual WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, it has a backlit QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the screen, a 5-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss...
The keyboard is disappointing, and the Symbian OS feels outdated compared with those of more intuitive Android and Apple phones...

Let’s get one thing straight: the Nokia N97 is the most ambitious and boldest smartphone ever created by the Finnish mobile phone company. Not only does the N97 have more storage space than an Argos outlet (they go on for miles don’t they?), but Nokia’...
The Nokia N97 is like a Pagani Zonda supercar – it’s been pushed to the very limit and excels in certain areas (both have a satisfing boot clunk) , but it’s not without it’s quirks. Is the N97 the best phone ever? Not quite. Does it come close? Very!Lo...

Technology usually moves forward, but Nokia’s top Nseries models seem to have been moving in the wrong direction since the N95 8GB. The N96 was a chunky brick that didn’t bring much to the table (and was beaten by the relatively anonymous N85...

Nokias most anticipated mobile phone since the N95, the Nokia N97 smartphone combines a touch screen with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This mobile phone boasts impressive hardware — including a 5-megapixel camera with flash, GPS, Wi-Fi and an FM transmitter — but the N97s customisable home screen widgets and touch-screen user interface are also key features.

If the recent spate of marketing campaigns for the Nokia N97 is any indicator, Nokia has seemingly put all their eggs into one basket with its much-heralded release a few weeks ago. Undoubtedly, the N97 is Nokia's answer to the Palm Pre and the recentl...
To be honest, the Nokia N97 is the device that will set the standard for its upcoming N series. As the first N series device to utilize the S60 touch UI, it isn't easy, and the Finnish company is still muddling around to edge itself further in the comp...

Here it is at last, my full hands-on Nokia N97 review. Ill give you the low-down on the good and points of the N97, as well as how well it works as a smartphone (which Im in a good position to assess, having owned a Nokia E90 and now a T-Mobile G1)...
You might think, then, that Im quite down on the N97. Thats not strictly true. I loved my E90, I love Nokia phones, and the N97 is not a bad phone. Its just not a great one, and its certainly not great compared with the competition. Given that thi...

On paper, the Nokia N97 looks as if it could rival the other big phones of this summer - the Palm Pre, the Apple iPhone 3G S and T-Mobile's follow-up to the Android-based G1. It has more memory than the other three, supports a wide range of multimedia...
In common with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, the Nokia N97 is a really cool phone that can do a lot, but the features just don't come together as seamlessly as in other smartphones on the market. The Symbian OS doesn't simply need an update; it needs a...

It’s not an iPhone killer. It’s not even a killer Nokia phone. The company’s flagship N97 is a high-end device that’s designed to excel at both productivity and multimedia. Unlike other new top-of-the-line smart phones, however, the Nokia N97 is an un...

The N97 has some things going for it, but it’s not what we’d expect at its high price. The phone looks good, but its plastic battery cover feels cheap. The keyboard is soft and easy to type on, but the keys are awkwardly laid out. The widget h...

It’s no secret that we had our issues with Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic, but has the Nokia N97 changed our minds? It is, after all, their flagship device and is packed to the rim with goodies. We already said the Touch Pro2 was the best Windows Mobile devi...
Nokia tried really hard here, but to be honest, speaking from my personal opinion, the second I saw the N97 announcement I skipped right over it in my head. I’m the biggest N95-4 fan you’ll find — but S60 5th Edition with a resistive screen, horrible...

The N97 is Nokias flagship device in their N-series line-up. With an estimated retail price of €550 (about $690), its an expensive, but powerful device; it features 32GB of internal memory, a 3.5" touchscreen, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a...
On paper, the N97 is a hell of a device. We like the feel of the N97 and its interface looks interesting so far. We expect it will easily cover the basics in functionality found in previous N-series devices, which have always been highly-capable multim...
