Nokia N97

The Nokia N97 is a quad band mobile phone with a large 3.5" touch screen display and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Nokia refers to it as a mobile computer, optimised for the internet with 3.5G HSDPA and WLAN 802.11b/g connectivity and easy access to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. More unusual is the browser ability to play Adobe Flash videos and applications. The Nokia N97 is also a powerful media device with widescreen display for videos and compatibility with 16GB Micro SD cards, as well as a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, dual LED flash and auto focus. Surprisingly the battery life is a high 430 hours on GSM standby. Other features include assisted GPS (A-GPS) with Nokia Maps software and a TV-out port. Release is expected in early 2009.
