[deleted post]nice work bro, you bought a 8GB, fm transmitter missing, more expensive N97

wait.. its smaller... WOW .. smaller.. AMAZING, cause its so hard to hold a larger N97.. only men can hold it, you need to be a body builder to handle the original N97..

you don own one either, its obvious the way you commented

    I really do think, Nokia Mini are pretty good on it size and the keyboard layout are nicely done with button raise high enough to be press on. The Nseries itself is pack with a bunch of feature. The design are completely perfect. Phone isn't too big nor too thin. I believe the Mini is perfectly awarded.

      the whole reason there where nokia fanboy's was cause nokia was usually ahead in features

      these days its a joke, no one defends nokia anymore, theres nothing to defend

      oh yes we all love resistive 5mp vga recording, its better than everything out there right

      breath taking, shaking to the core technology we've never seen before.

        How many / which other handsets were nominated for the award?
        I mean how many / which sets were pitted against N97 mini? Can gsmarena provide us regarding which other sets did this N97 mini beat to win the award? I am asking this because when you run a 100 meters race alone, you will obvious be the lone winner.
        I guess its a promotion strategy but customers are not a fool.

          I thought N97 out performs N97 mini in all aspects...including the price, (oh, except in size!), why the mini won the award but not N97 itself?

          I thought 5800 sold way more than any of the 2 devices mentioned above. How exactly did the "judges" decide which phone should win the award? Merely features? Prices not being consider? Or they all get paid by....?

              As already stated before, if you don't like it, the make your own awards, and make your favorite brand to win in every aspect then.

              Nokia is very popular around the world, so it's not surprise that they had won this time.

              But I agree that there are better phones that should have won this award.

              Well...nevermind...

                          Symbian UI is a mess, maybe less than WM(with Touch Flo, Sense and Touch Wiz, who cares anyway?), but symbian is so buggy and so poorly built. N97 deserved the award from asia, that's where cheap users come from(just look at all those copied gadgets), n97 mini is kind of copy from n97, so why to ruin that cheap asian trend and award some truly great handset, just grab n97 mini and roll. Hahaha. I don't know for you, but I'm waiting delivery of HD2:P

                            N97 mini :O What about Nokia N900 or N97 or N86. I think even if this comparison held between only various models of Nokia but n97 mini could not be a winner at all. Its rather indicate that there is somethings wrong.

                              LOL, the best Nokia phone is always the one that has just come out... That's because we haven't found all of it's faults and bad design flaws just yet.

                                  talk is cheap. Create, Finance, and run your own award if you don't like the results. Nokia is extremely popular in most of the World. It is not an accident, qualities like reception, voice quality and clarity play hugely in regions where the concept of personal space does not exist.
