The Nokia N97 comes with all features that you could dream of and stirs the mobile phone market, even though there is room for some shortcomings. The Nokia N97 is quite large with dimensions of 117.2 x 55.3 x 15 mm and weight of 150 g. The Li-ion 1500 mAh battery provides a standby time of 432 hours for 2G and 408 hours for 3G, talk time of 9 hours 30 minutes for 2G and 6 hours of 3G as well as music play of 40 hours. Nokia N97 has 3.5" resistive touch screen, which has a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. The sunlight legibility is very good and it definitely makes the Nokia N97, a winner. As the screen is resistive, you can freely use the stylus to activate the menus and options. At the bottom of the screen, you will find the call and end touch sensitive keys. Contrastingly, the menu key is a regular button. There is a video call camera which enables video calling. The slide out design of the full QWERTY keyboard is impressive; however, the build looks a little plastic. Keys are big and arranged in three rows. The Nokia N97 is equipped with a huge 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash. With extensive settings, it is a very good camera for casual shot. However, there is no smile detection, face detection and blink prevention features available with the competitors of Nokia N97. The videos are of MMS quality as the camera can shoot videos with VGA resolution at 30fps. The music player of the Nokia N97 incorporates a few changes and it is designed for a touch screen mobile phone. A number of formats are supported by the music player and the equalizer options make listening to music in the Nokia N97, a pleasurable experience. You can work with other features of the phone at the same time the player still on at the background. There is also an FM radio with RDS support. The FM transmitter is an interesting addition to the entertainment package of the Nokia N97 because now, you can stream your favorite music to a FM radio receiver in your range. The large screen of the Nokia N97 encourages using the video player with decent features. However, lack of XviD and DivX is disappointing. Onboard memory is a massive 32GMB and externally, it can be extended to up to 16GB using the microSD slot. The Nokia N97 uses Symbian S60 5th edition user interface and it makes the touch screen more usable. If you have already used the S60 platforms in other Nokia mobile phones, the Nokia N97 will be your piece of cake. There are several widgets available and you can customize them as you will. The screen rotates for your convenience as you slide out the keyboard. Thumb scrolling is enabled, even though using the scrolling bar makes things easier with the Nokia N97. The phonebook of the Nokia N97 is similar to other Nokia phones. Editing and organizing contacts is much easier with the new interface. Voice dialing option is pretty much easier to use, but it's hard to understand why the Nokia has left out the smart dialing feature in the Nokia N97. Common messages SMS, MMS and emails are supported by the Nokia N97 using the same common editor. Audio messages can be recorded and sent separately using a dedicated editor. Alphanumeric keypad is available on screen in both portrait and landscape modes, but the QWERTY keyboard is much easier to use. Handwriting recognition is impulsive and useful. 3G technology featured in the Nokia N97 brings extensive connectivity options. The web browser is neat and supports flash and java content. The built in GPS receiver and Nokia Maps lets you navigate without confusion. It is surprising the Nokia has completely forgotten to load at least one preinstalled games, though you can download and play Java games.
