In the past, I've never really gotten on with touchscreen phones. I brought myself an LG Cookie last year which was called 'the student's touchscreen phone', basically a cheap version of the iPhone but nowhere near as fancy. Needless to say, the phone was inconsistent, laggy and the screen got scratched really easily. Shortly after I sold this phone and got a normal one again. In the last year my boyfriend and best friend have also had touchscreen phones and after using them both and having problems, I almost gave up on considering them a 'useful gadget'. However, having got bored of my latest phone, yet again, I decided to invest in a new one. ...  Read the complete review

This was my previous phone and I must say that in many ways I miss it dearly, however I can also say there are some aspects of the Nokia N97 mini that I certainly do not miss one bit. The reason I chose to purchase this model at the time was purely because of the qwerty keypad and the fact that it was one of the only models available on my budgeted contract with a sliding screen and a qwerty. I could go on and on about this phone because there is so much to talk about but I'll try keeping to the most important. PRICE When I had this phone I was on contract and paid just over £20 a month, that was with unlimited texts and internet with 300 minutes. However ...  Read the complete review

My problem is that I need a phone that makes calls and sends texts, but when I look on my providers website for a suitable handset, I'm enticed by fancy phones which promise to do everything for you. These handsets inevitably fail me and are never strong enough to withstand a lifetime in my pocket. With weeks something tends to go wrong and I'm left with the limp shell of a device and some hold music in my ears as I try and sort it all out. Well, I did the same again with my latest phone and I've regretted it ever since! Touchscreen, ooh, yes please! Internet access, that sounds fun. Full, qwerty keyboard, mmm, great. All as part of my monthly ...  Read the complete review

Nokia N97 I have decided to write this review into sections in order to try and cut out and waffle and make it easier to read. I received my phone in March by my insurance company when my old mobile phone was damaged. It replaced my Nokia N85. First impressions The build quality was very good but the user interface look a little bit of getting used to. I have a major struggle trying to work out how to put my mini SD and sim card into their slots. After about half an hour of use I soon enjoyed using it. I found the QWERTY keyboard to excellent compared with other QWERTY phones. Ease of Use I am very ...  Read the complete review

I have this phone on contract for £25 a month with inclusive minutes and messages - if I wanted to add things like the internet then I would have to pay more per month, however as it has WIFI I can use the internet in my own home for free by using my own connection. When I first got it I paid £10 but if you're buying it outright it was around £300! Ill get the boring technical mumbo-jumbo out of the way first. The dimensions of the Nokia N97 mini - as I'm sure you are all dying to know are 113 x 52.5 x 14.2mm and it weighs 138g. It has a 3.2" screen, stand by time of up to 320 hours and talk time of up to 430 minutes (now THAT'S a lot of talking!) It also ...  Read the complete review
