Nokia N97

...in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. == Buying The Phone == After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the ...
...* Nokia N97 * BP-4L 1500mAh battery * Charger * USB data cable * Earphone-remote handsfree kit * Manual and warranty docs * Nokia Ovi Suite installer * Wipe cloth * Detachable stylus you can loop into the phone '''Design -''' In my opinion the N97 looks similar to the iPhone, just a little chunkier but overall smaller in size. The exact measurements are 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm (18.25 mm at thickest point) and it weights 150g including the battery. ...

Review of Nokia N97

== The Nokia N97 == Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. == Appearance == The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, ...
...who is familiar with recent Nokia handsets will be aware of the Symbian S60 OS, which in the N97 has been revised for the fifth time, sadly though, not completely successfully. There has been a noticeable improvement since the N95 and N96, but the reoccurrence of lag and navigation bugs leaves it falling behind the slicker iPhone. The cause of this is likely to be the lack of power provided by a processor of less than 500MHz in what is quite literally ...

Review of Nokia N97

...owner and user of the nokia n97 i can say i am overall very happy with the improvements that nokia have made on previous models i.e N96 and N95. Lets face it all of us who went from owning an N95 to what nokia seem to believe was a better model (N96) were extremely dissapointed as although looking good on paper the N96 failed to meet the standards of its pre- deccesor but i am glad to say nokia have redeemed themselves on the launch of the N97. There ...
...all been waiting for has nokia created something that can match up to the all powerful i-phone well the answer is unfotunately not although this is by far the best phone nokia have produced, the apps are all excellent although still few and far between they all work well on the phone and very easy to download and install. The widgets are very useul to have on this phone and as a loyal nokia user appreciated the benefits of these but once again there ...

Review of Nokia N97

...i am talking about is NOKIA N97, which nokia corporation introduced into the market. This phone has bridge the gap between computer and mobile by adjusting to the world around us. The design of N97 was based on the combination of 2G and 3G network, weigh 100g as gross weight. The Tft resistive touchscreen of N97 give this phone a unique display. The presence of sensors for auto turn-off and auto-rotate, qwerty keyboard make it to be different from ...

...comes standard with all the nokia qwerks, such as n-series games etc, which also gives you the choice of getting one free full version :) BATTERY not incredible, but for a phone with this much goin on, its pretty darn good. we're talking about 5 hours talktime, and about 200 hours standby. again, not going to win awards, but it is fairly good for a touchscreen with all these features. EASE OF USE as with all nokia, its fool-proof. easy menu layout, ...
...i would definately recommend this to a friend if they have a lot of money. personally speaking, i have a smartphone and find it invaluable, but if you arent going ot use the full internet or microoft office, its a bit of a waste. expandable memory is very good, and a very clear screen, which one of the best cameras a smartphone will offer, so i would give it an 8/10 dont forget to rate! :) cheers dave marken ...

Review of Nokia N97

...playing on the go. Nokia also included a standard 3.5mm headphone jack so you can use any headphones to listen to music. The N97 features a 5.0 MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens. The photo quality that the phone produces is really good and it is actually functional as a camera. Due to the large storage space, you can also record large quantities in footage and each clip is limited to around 1.5 hours of footage. The video footage can be rather grainy ...
...This further not helped by Nokia making the sidebar scrollers rather narrow which can make scrolling a pain. The other gripe is that the phone can become unresponsive, particularly when using certain apps. On my phone, the internet explorer app can be slow on particular pages and the facebook app grinds to a halt if there's too much text within a single conversation. I've heard that the latest phone software (v. 2.x) fixes this but at time of writing ...

Review of Nokia N97

Ok i am a very busy mum so i decided to buy this phone. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. The keys are a bit small if you have big fingers like moi, but you get used to them. I Got mine on ebay so it was cheaper than the retail price, of which i am not sure of, but i got mine for about £130. It is easy to navigate your way through the toolbar. It has alot of applications. The camera is good quality, but you have to be rather still to take it so it ...
...have anything fancy really to take pictures. It is easy to ajust to the phone. and easy to pick up phone calls. It does not have annoying ring tones. The battery life was surprisingly longer than i would have thought for such a big phone with many functions, about 12 hours, and then it quickly charges up again. Thought i would keep this review short and sweet so there you have it. ...

Review of Nokia N97

...have just recieved my White Nokia N97 and must say I am delighted with it. The design is simple and understated with the minimum number of function keys on the main body. This is intentional, as it encourages you to utilise the 3.5-inch touchscreen display. The first thing I noticed about the screen is how bright it is. Sure, critics have moaned that it’s not 'amoled' but images looks sharp and the 640 × 360-pixel screen looks great. Handling the ...
...very handy addition to the Nokia N97 that wasn’t present on the 5800 XpressMusic is the proximity sensor. A big issue with touchscreen handsets is that when you’re talking on the phone, it’s all too easy to trigger up an unwanted application when you’re chatting away on the phone. The proximity sensor switches the screen off so you can’t accidentally start the music player or any other app while you’re on the phone. Widgets are popular these days. ...

Review of Nokia N97

Nokia has finally come up with a phone that can take the competition right back to Apple. The N97 is a great phone. It has got all the latest gizmos all bundled into one. The 3.5" touchscreen is a treat. However it still is not as good as the iPhone interface. The 32GB memory (upgradeable to 48GB) is just amazing. You could store all your songs on it. The camera is amazing. Comes with Carl Zeiss lens and the pictures that I took on them seem really ...
...is obvious when you move them to your computer and then watch the photos. The GPS is quite good. This one trumps the iPhone on getting the location (i.e. time taken to hook onto satellites), but is not as easy to use as the iPhone GPS Compass, which is integrated into Google Maps. The sliding mechanism is surprising sturdy. This exposes the QWERTY key board. So this phone has both a QWERTY (if you wish to use it) and a touch screen. The operating ...

Review of Nokia N97

...fantastic smart phone. I use Nokia N95 before and wanted to update and Nokia never let me down. A great combination of Computer and Mobile. QWERTY keyboard, touch screen which could help you to access to the website you want in just 1 touch, new operating system gives you smoother and nicer video and music, things is fantastic. As it's said on Nokia website, N97 really "from the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket", I feel it's really true. ...
...the function it has, I don't know whether the battery could last for so long. Furthermore, though, some people might argue that the operating system is just slightly better the old type such as N86, I think there are a huge gap between them which makes N97 a much better smart phone . Anyway, if you're think about having a new mobile, don't forget N97. ...

Review of Nokia N97

I like the silver outer covering best – it looks sleek and clean looking. The phone folds up and can be twisted to open up and show the qwerty keyboard. Because of the keyboard it does make the phone bulkier - I can carry my phone around in my handbag so its not much of a problem, but it could be fa problem for those who want to keep it in their pocket. I prefer the full qwerty keyboard rather than a keypad. The spacebar is a touch small on the keyboard ...

Review of Nokia N97

...was taken back by the Nokia N97. It is full of applications which is fantastic, but I wasn't used to the world of touch screen. Two weeks on its a doddle. I actually use the touch screen option when texting etc over the keyboard. I have transferred (very easily) loads of music and photos to it and the applications for playing music and viewing photos is fantastic. I mostly use my phone to go on the internet (mainly Facebook) and I have got to say ...
...I have had before (recently Nokia N95 8GB) The Ovi store is brilliant for downloading widgets and games etc. I have had great fun so far with that. I think the phone is light and easy to use. Very easy to customise and just lovely to look at and show off to your friends (and boy have I). The battery life seems the best in a Nokia I have come across so far!! I got my phone brand new, just released on a 18 month contract for £25 per month with 200 ...

In my opinion,appearance and the overall design of the machine is working very well, better than the N95.The whole key, hand-written, two perfect; business and entertainment area is considerable. Pixels high, memory, and sideslip mobile phones, almost have all functions. Of course the price is a little expensive. Aspects of the use of the feelings of N97 is very good.Call quality is really good, worthy of being called nokia. Sending and receiving ...
