I bought this during my search for an iPhone replacement and after buying an n86 the month before and really liking the symbian OS I figured the N97 was the logical progression. I'll admit now that the N97 looks like a brick, it's clunky and heavy but that reasurred me, it felt durable. The N97 is equipped with a 3.5mm port for audio, a 3.5" resistive touch sceen, wifi, hsdpa, Bluetooth, gps, free satnav with nokia maps, fm transmitter a whopping 1500mha battery and an app store. Sporting a qwerty keyboard the n97 was easy to type on, it took a whole to get used to having the space bar on the left hand side but you will get used to it. The ...  Read the complete review

It was about that time for an upgrade and as much as I wanted an iphone, it meant that I would have had to change networks and therefore my number. So when in the phone shop I browsed the various different smart phones available and eventually settled on the Nokia N97. It was available in two different colours - black and white. I wanted to be different so I chose the white one **General Appearance** The phone is quite bulky and heavy and even though it is a slimmer width that the iphone it is a lot fatter. The touch screen is fairly large and there is one button on the bottom of the phone that brings up the main menu. There are then two touch ...  Read the complete review

I was on a Blackberry for ages and, after a slight accident (OK....was extremley tired and walking into the bathroom to brush my teeth in the morning, replying to an email whilst walking I dropped it into the toilet after losing my grip on it and trying to juggle it into some sort of safe place like an idiot...) I need to claim on my insurance and get a new phone. As all the Blackberrys available were touch screen only (I dont mind touch screen but I prefer having the 'backup' of a keypad too) I decided to review the other options. I had heard great things about the Nokia N97 and so decided on that. The applications on phone are great - on your ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia N97. I bought this phone late 2009 and I have to say I was extremely excited to have saved up enough to buy one. They were going for about £400 then on ebay. ALOT of money, for a similar price I could have got an iPhone, but I loved the fact that it has a slide out keyboard. Being an avid texting fan, I opten for the N97. having watched many reviews on YouTube and looking at countless images, and playing with it the the local shop. It seeemed to have so much. A 5mp camera with a flash, touch screen and full qwerty keyboard. Front facing camera, easy internet wifi, that was the main attraction for me. It shows up just as it would on a laptop. The size of ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a mobile phone fan and like to have a decent phone. I am currently with 3 mobile and am on a contract. I have an upgrade every 18 months. I was due for my usual upgrade so started looking around. I had the Nokia N95 8gb at the time and really liked the lay out and have always been fond of Nokia mobiles in the past so this drew me to the Nokia N97. I was quite impressed with some of the reviews this mobile was getting and it looked very stylish so after looking and researching a few others I decided to go for this one. The mobile comes in either black or white. I thought it looked better in the black so I went for that ...  Read the complete review
