Nokia N97 Review
If you want a great smartphone the Nokia N97 is a good option, but don’t expect it to compete with some of the other competing smartphones on the market today. Not only is the N97 Nokia a bit outdated, but it also comes with a high price tag.
The Nokia N97 is a nice looking mobile, but it’s nothing to get too excited about; this handset measures 4.6 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches and weighs 5.29 ounces. Though there are some problems with the design, basically it does feature quality construction, plus it includes a touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard.
The resistive touchscreen that comes with the N97 Nokia measures 3.5-inches and supports up to 16 million colours and comes with a built in accelerometer. Another feature that you get with this touchscreen is a proximity sensor; with this the screen will automatically turn off when you are making calls.

For business, the N97 comes with QuickOffice so that you can view Microsoft documents, plus there is a PDF viewer.
Even though the N97 Nokia does come with Nokia messaging, you will still get plenty of messaging options, including support for email, as well as text and multimedia messaging. Unfortunately you won’t get instant messaging, which would have been a nice addition.
