The Nokia N97 gives you an amazing total entertainment experience . . . and is still a completely capable quad-band mobile communicator. The 3.5-inch LCD screen brings photos, video and web content to your eyes with brilliant color and clarity. Symbian OS S60 5th Edition accepts a good deal of compatible software for broad functionality.
The 5MP auto-focus, auto-exposure camera with Carl Zeiss lens captures high-quality images and videos. Shoot all your scenes and save them to the built-in 32GB internal flash memory, and a microSD card slot is integrated for additional storage. Built-in 802.11b/g WiFi connects you to both home networks and your on-the-go hotspots. Integrated GPS makes sure you can find your way back home. Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR manages your handsfree connections and provides stereo music streaming. Getting a SIM card from your service provider will complete your connectivity wherever you stray.
Easy to use in just one hand, the N97 gives you a portable platform that will bring both ease and pleasure to your business and recreation, by giving you immediate access to your news, communication and multimedia wherever you are!

fully loaded
- Pros: physical qwerty, 32gb onboard total of 64gb max when 32gb microsdhc are available.
multitask this is very important and is something iphone can't do out of the box with 3rd party apps.
keys lit white and blue this is the same with the black version.
it came with a stylus but i did not use it.
very easy to get used to the OS.
prioritize which connection to use first. data or wifi etc
- Cons: initial release on some models have bugs like unlocking does not turn on the backlight. i found an easy fix by the sliding the button twice fast, that or slide the camera cover downward or press the power button and it will come on but i preferrred the first option.
most unlocked phones will be at this price range so i will not put price as a con.(iphone,omnia hd, touch pro 2 etc all similarly priced )
- Other Thoughts: dont let the specs and os fool you this is a very capable smartphone. if you've used nokia and symbian os before this is a walk in the park for you.
learning curve is 5 minutes tops.
running on tmobile ( area does not have 3g until end of 09)
Best Phone Ever
- Pros: This is by far the best Nokia phone that I've used so far. Excellent keyboard, good touch screen that works even when wearing gloves (try that with an iPhone)
- Cons: Applications load slowly for the first time. With all that memory I wish there was a way to preload common apps so that they come up faster during normal use.
- Other Thoughts: I've used products from virtually every phone maker out there, including the iPhone, and Nokias entry into the high end touch screen market is impressive. Nokia's Symbian implementation has plenty of software available for it, with a significant focus on business and "productivity" (if cell phone apps can be called that), _however_ many of those apps are not yet touch screen enabled.

Guardian Angel
- Pros: Fast Touch Screen After Firmware update 20.... somthing as of date 11-16-09, Good keyboard layout, Beautiful 5MP Camera record DVD like Video at 30FPS with good loud audio, The Camera takes High quality image very good in dark places or at the club where the lights go out, lots of storage with the 32GB space, Comes with nice application like youtube, and facebook
- Cons: even with the latest firmware update the touchscreen seen to respond a little slower somtime.. ill said 3 out of 10 that will happen somtime although not a bad thing. This one guy saids the camera slider which hide the camera lens stract the lens but i dissagree i test it out but sliding it back and forth and i see no dent or straches .. maybe he just got bad luck and got the 1 out of 2000 DMA or BAD Phone. Doesnt have Divx player and cant play divx format but maybe this isnt that bad.. this phone plays MP4 format so i think its good enough, I dont know if this is a cons but ill just said this the storage is too much cause i cant think of wat to put in there beside video and mp3, not shure if the popout keyboard might break in the future but i heard no complian about it either. Bit pricey. Dont ever drop it or else said bye bye to a 600 Dollar phone retail price.
- Other Thoughts: i shurely luv it dont know about u ..
Great phone for price
- Pros: Nice basic unlocked GSM cell phone. Great price.
- Cons: None
