Touchscreen Nokia N97 is the next step ahead with full QWERTY

02 Dec, 2008
The Nokia N97 is most definitely one of the most loaded N-series devices out there, but that's not it's all about. The N97 is the first high-end device powered by the latest touchscreen Symbian S60 OS...

Did you see any insults on my reply?? No, of course not, that makes me a more mature person than you are, poor you.

        Anyways,you are right about what you are saying. Firts of all I love the iPhone but these guys from Apple are always placing limitations on their products and for a really high price. Second, I love Samsung Omnia, but I don´t like WM OS. So I´m a Nokia lover and always well be. Do you really think this is their last phone?? Negative, wait and see. I´m sure they will work on the OS to make it fast and fashionable, and user friendly.

        Be sure that if Apple takes out all limitations on the iPhone and put a better camera on the back( at least 5megapixels), i may consider buying their next Phone. In the meantime, Nokia Rocks and always will be.

        So lets see in the future.

        My best regards to you,

        Nokia.

                this is a class of it's own. 16 M colors touch screen. definitely an xperia killer. only thing i don't like is the keyboard. let's just hope this phone won't lag as bad as xperia x1.

                    Looks like iPhone from the front. Like a TyTN II coz the screen can be bent. 32GB of internal mem., somehow invites a worry if a damage happens sometimes. For overall, N97 is cool! But X1 is cooler!!

If you are a teacher i don't think any student will record a distinction in your subject. What type of design, specs, etc do you expect from NOKIA? You are very wrong when you are using the same design, specs, etc. I disagreed with you and likewise other opinion posters in this GSM ARENA.
                      Always try as much as possible to use the Principle of Economics in posting your comment in all areas of life. Nokia remains the best mobile product in the whole world in terms of durabilty, easy use, functionality, video, email, etc.

                        DO ANYONE REMEMBER THE ROADMAP OF NOKIA THAT LEAK 1 month ago??

                        this is a part from the roadmap!!

                        N85 will having a xenon flash version

                        NOKIA 8MP will announce, maybe end of 2008 or 2009

                          nice phone. average specs. can do better.
                          This is prob a market strategy to release a high-end device with average specs.
                          I'd reckon there will be an improved version of this
                          touch device, maybe (8-meg, xenon flash, more rams, better design and hopefully a windows os)

                            Looks just like the TyTN II with the tilting screen. What a Beauty!

                              E90 owner :), 02 Dec 2008Black n97 it is great but when it wil be new Communicator ????There's QWERTY and host of features there on paper already, enough for it to be or better than the Communicator I'm sure? Plus it's coming on q2 2009 so still enough time for specs' revisions.

                                James, 02 Dec 2008Well he's probably talking about specifications and UI but ... moreIt's not about specs in my book.

                                Basically, it's about offering the user something functional and easy to to operate.

                                A phone should never be about what has the most power, the ability to crunch the most numbers or the most megapixels.

                                Apple has given people a phone that allows them to do basic phone functions and browse the net. It's very simple which is why it has sold millions!
