Nokia N97 Review

Reviewer: review.boygeniusreport.com

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 device to come out of HTC, is the N97 [...] Read more

Unlike the iPhone 3G , which doesn't feature a Qwerty keypad, tapping out long messages, browsing the Web or chatting to friends over IM should be easy. Nokia is hardly going overboard with the hype on this one: "The N97 isn't a device that will trigger knee-jerk hysteria," it modestly promises, and it's right, but it's a solid phone that will hopefully deliver a great messaging and social experience.

Nokia N97 review: Lock, stock and touch

Reviewer: GSM Arena

It's an Nseries device we are talking about and we can't complain about looks. How's that for a nice start? Now seriously, the Nseries are back on track and we don't mean that as a mere comparison to the misfiring N96. All-in-one is the game and the N97 is ready to take charge of the Nokia multimedia squad. It has an arsenal full of (almost) all contemporary high-end weapons and Symbian smartness securing its rear. Nseries used to stand for the ultimate in mobile... Read more

It is actually an Awesome Phone.. despite of the review from websites and other people that N97 lacking something but it does suit my taste the design, the touchscreen actually good I don't know why people complaining. I'm happy i decide to get N97, everyone have different taste but this one suits me.. probably it just need a few software or firmware upgrade to make it more stable but other than that it is perfect.

Pros Great Battery Life Great screen response and color Awesome capabilities Amazing keyboard Best signal reception on phone I have ever had Cons Not as adaptable for programs as I would like Not enough contol over personalizing phone First off, I am sorry that the other guys had issues but that is not the Nokia N97. Mine is not buggy, just the opposite, it is dependable and smooth. My FUZE with a 538 mhz processor froze at least once to twice a day or I would make a... Read more

Nokia N97 3 The Nokia N97 is simply the newest phone in their line of products based on the S60 platform. The 3.5 inch touchscreen display offers digital real estate never before seen on a cell phone. The resolution is 640 by 360 pixels, which is close to the resolution many full sized desktop computers were offering 10 years ago. This makes web browsing with its built-in, unrestricted web browser a breeze. Integrated social networking utilities update your MySpace and... Read more
