The N97 is abundant added than an added N96 - it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display. Added appearance accommodate a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, GPS, WiFi and 32GB memory. Nokia affirmation that it is the "most powerful, multi-sensory adaptable computer in existence". Throw abroad your laptops, guys, the N97 is here!
There are so abounding touchscreen phones on the bazaar these days, it's appetizing to anticipate that they are all the same. But the Nokia N97 does action added than most. Nokia assume to be accession the N97 beneath like a adaptable buzz and added like a handheld computer. Although at Adaptable Phones UK, we tend to be sceptical about a lot of stuff, we're absolutely absolutely afflicted by the N97 architecture concept. The N97 has both a touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard makes accounting fast and easy, and we absolutely adopt this to a basic keyboard (although it isn't the best keyboard anytime - it's too advanced for comfort, and the amplitude key is in the amiss place.) Whether it's texting, e-mailing or autograph notes, the QWERTY keyboard makes things accessible that we artlessly wouldn't accept agitated to attack on an old-style mobile. But it's the touchscreen that will appeal best of your attention. The awning measures 3.5 inches across, which makes it the aforementioned as the Apple iPhone 3G S, but it has a college resolution than the iPhone, at a massive 640 x 360 pixels. With this resolution, there are about as abounding pixels on this pocket-sized accessory as there were on aboriginal claimed computers. And that makes it accessible to alpha cerebration about the N97 as if it were a handheld PC, which is absolutely what the engineers at Nokia accept done. The touchscreen is of arresting type, agnate to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, not absolutely up to iPhone standards, but appealing glossy nonetheless. It's not absolutely as acknowledging as the best of the best, and the airheaded are sometimes apathetic to acknowledge - archetypal of antecedent Nseries phones. The better botheration is that the user interface feels like it's Symbian with touchscreen functionality anchored on - which is absolutely what it is - rather than a congenital touchscreen OS such as Android, Windows Adaptable or Apple's OS X.
The home awning of the buzz is information-packed and absolutely customisable. You can accompanying appearance the date & time, your inbox, the acclimate forecast, RSS feeds, Facebook and quick links to your favourite web pages. This is agnate to Samsung's accoutrement interface actualization on phones like the Samsung Jet and the i8910 HD. Blow a web figure and web pages accessible up in their abounding glory, with accessible blow controls to annal and zoom. There's abounding abutment for Beam videos as well. It's the adaptable internet as it should be, and already you've accomplished it you won't appetite to go aback to how things acclimated to be. The internet is fast too, either application the 3G HSDPA connection, and alike faster is the WiFi connection, area it's available.
The N97 has a congenital GPS receiver, and you can use this to acquisition your location, to geo-tag photos and to navigate. Nokia Maps is supplied, additional multimedia burghal guides and there's a congenital ambit affection too. A 3-month balloon licence for banal and voice-guided drive aeronauticscomputer application is included.
The N97 has affluence of custom apps accessible too. Built on the complete Symbian operating system, there are affluence of apps that will be acceptable for the N97, and you can download applications, games, videos and agreeable through Nokia's Ovi store.
Nokia haven't taken this befalling to advancement their camera though. It's the aforementioned old 5 megapixel camera that appeared in the Nokia N96. But that's not a complaint - the camera is a acceptable one, with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and a bifold LED flash.
The N97 absolutely is a feature-packed phone. It's abundant added like a laptop in agreement of its capabilities. We're not activity to account aggregate that it does, because the account would be too long! See the abundant blueprint beneath for added info. Suffice to say that it can handle appealing abundant any affectionate of media and communications that you can anticipate of. With its abutting affiliation with the internet, it feels actual abundant like the 21st aeon has arrived. We aloof appetite to acknowledgment the astronomic 32GB of onboard memory, additional the adeptness to access this with a 16GB anamnesis card.
Nokia's array activity abstracts are actual absorbing back you accede what this accessory is able of. With 6 hours of talktime on a 3G arrangement and up to 430 hours of standby, this is as abundant as we could accept hoped for. We don't yet accept any absolute apple abstracts on this, but hopefully our user reviews beneath will advice to analyze this.
Finally, we accept to animadversion on the admeasurement of the device. Yes, it's big, but what did you expect? It's abundant too, but there's a lot of being inside! This is a buzz that does its best to backpack in every affection that users ability want, and we anticipate that it's succeeded. Is it the best buzz ever? It's apparently Nokia's best phone, but at its affection the Symbian operating arrangement feels aloof a little anachronous compared to the appearance and acceleration of the iPhone, or the ability of Windows Adaptable phones such as the HTC Blow HD or Samsung Omnia. We would absolutely acclaim the N97 for Nokia admirers attractive for an upgrade, but admirers of added smartphone operating systems will apparently adopt to stick to what they know.
How to amount the N97? Although it isn't absolute in every way, no buzz that we've advised anytime has been. It would be beggarly not to accolade 5 stars for such an amazing phone. The accuracy is that we accord it 4.5 stars.
