N-97
Here’s my review on n97 from my usage…
The handset is very well designed , looks very handy . Weight is not an issue for itz configuration. Most of the nokia mobiles doesnt come with nice finish but n97 does not fall in that category. Unlike Nokia E 75 , HTC Touch pro , Sonyx1 , N97′s QWERTY keypad has got isolated keys and a very stylish 45 degree slide.
It’s 5 MP (Carl Zeiss) camera is very good, but only in broad day light.Video recording is also not bad. A secondary camera is also present. Most impressive feature is dat it comes with 32 Gb internal memory and with expendable sd slot. The great improvisation done by nokia on N97 over 5800 is itz touch sensitivity,which is very cool,Plz dont expect the standards of an iphone. Widgets are another added feature, u have both online and offline widgets which u can customize them as u desire.
