Nokia N97 is a very flawed multimedia flagship smartphone. The Symbian interface is unassuming and unattractive. The interface is taken for the Symbian version 3 and directly ported to Symbian, only the touch elements have been added so it is not very pleasant to use and sometimes it is very frustrating as performing some tasks take a lot of steps. The double tap to access or start apps is not at all fun to use. It has no graphic chip and the memory is less so the phone has a lot of lag and performing a simple task can take a lot of time.

Pros: 32GB memory, 3.5 inch screen, Keyboard
Cons: Symbian Interface, Low RAM, slow performance.

Nokia N97 is a superb smartphone, it has 32GB of memory, a gorgeous 3.5 inch screen, 128 MB RAM, GPS and Bluetooth. It comes with free voice navigation with Ovi Maps and is preinstalled with lots of widgets like facebook, boingo, jaikospot, slideshow, accuweather and the amazing qik which lets you broadcast videos live to the internet. The 32 GB mass memory lets me put all my music in the N97. I also fill it up with videos and love watching movies in it. 3.5 inch screen with the resolution of 360×640 is very good for watching movies.

Pros: The awesome screen, 32GB memory, GPS
Cons: the resistive touchscreen, 128MB RAM is less for S60 V5, some preinstalled apps are not very good.

I was absolutely thrilled when this phone was launched. Its features were great and better than any other Smartphone out in the market at that time. iPhone still lacked much functionality and was not an option for me. It has a great 3.5 Inch touchscreen, unfortunately resistive screen so it is not as responsive as capacitive screen as in iPhone. The 32 GB memory is very useful, it is fast and can be used to transfer any file I want, it also acts as a portable hard drive. Because it has 32GB mass memory I can put any amount of music I want without any problem.

Pros: keyboard, 32 GB memory, 5MPX dual flash camera
Cons: poor memory in C drive, low ram, general performance is very slow

The phone isn’t cheap, I paid almost $750 for it. I always had Nokia phones, I’m a kind of a Nokia fan and this time I wanted their flagship phone. I picked up the black version, but the white one looks good also.

I love the design of this phone. It looks great. At the beginning I was a bit disappointed. The apps on phone aren’t that great, and the keyboard could be a lot better, the space bar is in a really weird position, that makes my typing quite slow. I have not had problems typing long texts on other qwerty devices. Slowly I got used to the keyboard, but I’m still far from typing fast on it.

The screen is big, and bright. It’s pretty responsive, but I found it a bit resistive and lacks the multi touch feature. It is usable though, I can navigate and scroll pretty fast without problems, so I’d say it’s ok.

It has 32GB memory in it and a real operating system that makes this phone a small computer. The camera and camcorder features are awesome, the speaker is excellent. Watching videos are a great experience on the big display. So the media capabilities of this phone are great in my opinion.

Maybe it would be a better buy if it was a bit cheaper, but I wanted the latest and greatest Nokia phone, so I had to pay what I paid for it.

Pros:
size, meadia features, looks, memory, screen

Cons:
keyboard, especially space bar location

I’ve had this phone for about a month now and I ahve to say, I’m pretty dissapointed. I held off buying an iPhone (any flavour) because I was loyal to Nokia. What a mistake. This phone is and absolute disgrace of an attempt by Nokia to compete with the iPhone or Palm pre. The phone is so buggy it’s unbelievable and not a PEEP out of Nokia on a release date for new firmware.

This phone also has without a doubt the WORST battery life I have ever come across. While I love the camera, web browser and video recording (really great job BTW Nokia) the horrible PC suite software, Ovi store, firmware and battery live have led me right into the hands of Apple.

Pros:
Big screen, excellent quality video and amazing quality camera.

Cons:
Extremely poor battery live, bad ovi store, poor software
