Is the Nokia N97 the ultimate phone for next year?

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Well that, you decide, what I can tell is that the N97 is certainly the best S60 Touch UI-based phone. If you read in some reviews, of the lucky ones who got their hands-on, or even in their news articles, you would know that the N97 is not a common phone.

The design was derived, by the looks of it, from the TYTN II, from HTC. The touchscreen? iPhone size, but no multi-touch.

Full keyboard should satisfy both Nseries and Eseries user, this is like a convergence of two categories, a true flagship. The only problem is that there is no 8 megapixel camera to beat competitors.

What’s so unique about it? The 32GB memory of course, oh, and there is a memory card slot!

What we do know is that it will be expensive, but while I wait for mine, you should check out some Nokia N97 reviews, so that you get your own opinion, in order to comment here.

So, what do you think?
