The Nokia N97 is
set to be Nokia's biggest selling mobile phone
and we couldn't wait to get our hands on this
amazing new handset. While we post our full
review when the handset goes on sale in May, we
take a look at the latest mini-computer from
Nokia.
N97
Screen review - the first thing you notice
about the N97 is the screen. At 3.5" it is
around the same size as the rival iPhone screen.
The screen offers
multi-touch capabilities including viewing the
viewing the N97 screen in both landscape and
portrait mode.
The N97 has been
designed to be as scratch proof as possible.
While it looks amazing, we would maybe recommend
using a screen wipe or screen protector as our
test model was full of fingerprints within 20
minutes of this review.
The touch screen
takes a while to get used to, but once you
master the pressure of the screen, you'll find
mastering the N97 menus a joy. Of all the touch
screen phones we have reviewed, we found this
one to be up their with them.

Qwerty Keypad - The Slide-out full qwerty
pad gives traditional
Nokia fans the ability to use a "real" keypad
while giving business users and text fans the
opportunity to type up emails or shoot out text
messages quicker than you can say N 9 7. The
keys are a little on the small side but once you
get the feel of things you should be up and
running in no time.
Nokia N97 Menus
- there are several different menu's on the N97
depending on which way you look at it. There is
the "widget" menus that cover the home screen
offering weather alerts, news and social
networking updates. Internally the phones menu's
are similar to other N series phones.
Nokia N97
Camera - the 5 Mega pixel Carl Zeus lens has
become a favourite on the recent Nokia Camera
models. We found pictures to be among the best
on any mobile phones and much better than the
iPhone. The camera also has great video
recording capabilities offering DVD quality
playback and is simple to use. There is also a
dedicated camera button on the side of the
handset allowing photo happy N97 owners to be
able to take quick snaps. We were happy with the
results of the Nokia N97
Nokia N97
Internet Device - Nokia are claiming this is
the best mobile internet device available and
has been built for the internet. With 3G, the
Nokia N97 will attempt to load pages faster than
the iPhone with the help of additional software.
Although with a full internet browser, we
strongly recommend that you get an unlimited
mobile internet bundle with your Free Nokia N97.
Review Comments: The best Nokia
mobile phone we have ever seen. A true iPhone
beater with better camera, better internet
experience and classic Nokia Styling. The Nokia
N97 is Nokia at its best and this could become
