Today I going to review the Nokia N97. I have own the N97 for a while now and it is a great and reliable phone. The phone has a 3.5inch (360×640) Nokia nHD TFT touchscreen with proximity sensor for auto turn off. The Nokia N97 is one of the older smartphones, its processor is the ARM 11 434MHz. The phone also comes with 128MB RAM and 32Gig of internal storage, with a microSD card slot. The N97 has a 5MP (2584×1939) Carl Zeiss optics with autofocus and Dual
LED flash. The Nokia also has a full QWERTY keyboard, which is spaced out very evenly. The keyboard has a trackpad on the side for easy navigation on web pages. The phone is also Symbian base, it’s Symbian OS v9.4. Series 60 rel.5. The Symbian Platform on the phone runs Okay but not great. The phone has lots of Apps. and a free lifetime of Ovi Navigation. The Web also looks great on this phone with full web and full flash support. The phone plays great videos and has a good music player. I loved a lot of qualities on this phone.
The draw backs of this phone is that it is Old, this phone came out a long time ago in “Tech Years”. Phones like theses made way for the phones of today. The Resistive Touchscreen was a huge mistake, it’s fine, If you don’t mind tapping the screen. We also learned that Symbian wasn’t the best software to put on the phone, and the RAM on the phone was just to small for multi-Applications. This phone is still the best phone that I’ve used for a while.(Now I have the Samsung Galaxy S and the Nokia 5800) The Nokia N97 retails for $799.99 to $399.99 unlocked price.
