Unboxing the Nokia N97 mini

Last week I received a Nokia N97 mini review unit from Molly & co at Nokia Blogger Relations! As the name implies, its basically the Nokia N97s little sibling.

It's smaller & thinner, with less screen (3.2″ vs. 3.5″), less built-in storage (8 GB vs. 32 GB), a better keyboard (same layout as the Nokia N900), a nicer battery cover (stainless steel vs. plastic), no camera lens cover, and no FM transmitter...

Yet despite the reduced specifications, the N97 mini somehow feels like a more solid and more premium device than the N97 - and despite similar versions of S60v5 (with widgets & kinetic scrolling), the N97 mini feels faster and more stable than the N97 :)

I'll be putting the N97 mini through its paces, but for the time being, take a look at my pictures and video.

BTW, I snapped these pictures with my Samsung T929 (Memoir) in low light on a rainy day - notice the lack of noise. Also, I no longer have an N97, but here is a size comparison.

@TheJoni95 the N97 mini is looks and feels a lot more premium than the original N97. It's more solid and the battery cover is metal.
