Nokia’s flagship model, the N97 packs quite a punch behind its 640 x 360 pixel display. Nokia bills the N97 as a “true mobile computer” so you know there is more going on here than with a standard phone. The phone itself features a stylish silver color that exudes a certain elegance and sophistication.

Features:   Excellent

The N97 features a “So-Lo” function that uses GPS sensors and an electronic compass to intuitively understand where it is. This allows the user to update social networks automatically with real-time information.


The 640 x 360 resolution display is setup in a 16:9 format, perfect for watching movies. The home screen can be customized to display the people, content, and media that matter the most. It can also be personalized by adding widgets of favorite web services and social networking sites.


The N97 has 32 GB of internal storage and can be expanded up to 48 GB with a microSD card. This ensures that there is enough storage for all your music and movies. The 5 megapixel camera takes high resolution, print quality photos. The camera uses Carl Zeiss optics and can capture movies in DVD quality, 16:9 format.
 

Usefulness:   Excellent

Nokia included just about every feature one could want in a cell phone on the N97. The compact and sleek styling combined with the slide out keyboard make the N97 very useful indeed.

New Technology:   Excellent

The allure of the N97 comes from its combination of state-of-the art technologies and its ability to integrate them into a streamlined, easy to use phone. The angled screen mimics that of a laptop when the slide-out keyboard is used. The 16:9 screen is optimized for easy movie viewing.

Wow Factor:   Excellent

The Nokia N97 isn’t cheap. It will set you back roughly $730. This phone is definitely meant for those who can afford every feature they might ever need. We’re not sure what the dollar per feature breakdown is on the phone, but we’re sure it’s high. This phone is definitely for serious users only.

Summary:  

The N97 has just about every feature a tech junkie could want, but it also comes with a pretty big price tag.
