Nokia N97 – A Laptop Pretending To Be A Mobile Phone
It maybe still termed as a mobile phone, but the Nokia N97 manages to blur our idea of what a mobile actually is and fits somewhere between being a smartphone and laptop. The Nokia N97 is a product built on a foundation of rock solid mobile principles, Nokia innovations, and tangible new technologies, pushed to the extreme and embodied in a slimline pocket shell. Just as the original N95 re-shaped our perceptions of what’s possible with a mobile phonedevice, the N97 again raises the bar again. They have equipped us with a product that fuses the best proven Nokia hardware, software and Internet services, blended with a new flavour of design, ergonomics and usability.
The most physically immediate stand-out feature of the N97 is its kick-out full QWERTY keyboard, hidden behind a 3.5-inch widescreen 16:9 touch display that tilts smartly above the keys. Both control methods neatly live togther as one and are tailored to ensure every experience, be it messaging, social, entertainment-focussed or otherwise, are manageable via the most instinctive physical toolset available. The N97 touchscreen promises to be exploited to full effect, even when inactive, courtesy of a new homescreen that automatically bring in live information via custom widgets sat on a S60 5th Edition backbone.
