Part of the company's high-end N series of multimedia computers, the N97 trumps all previous models with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and a tilting 3.5-inch touch screen (anyone else reminded of the AT&T Tilt or Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?). Yes, there's the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, but the N97 includes phone capabilities and is designed for the "needs of Internet-savvy consumers."

For example, the smartphone provides easy access to a number of social-networking sites, and the Web browser supports streaming Flash videos. The N97 also introduces something Nokia calls "social location," which uses the capabilities of the integrated A-GPS sensors and electronic compass to automatically update users' social networks, or let them share their location via photos or videos with friends.

The Home screen can be personalized with widgets of favorite Web and social-networking sites. Finally, the N97 is fully compatible with Nokia's Ovi Internet services, which include the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps, and the N-Gage gaming platform--though these services have yet to fully launch in the United States.

The Symbian-based smartphone also features a music and video player, a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and a whopping 32GB of onboard memory that can be expanded with a 16GB microSD card.

The quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) world phone is HSDPA-capable handset, but it currently supports only the 900/1900/2100MHz bands (AT&T's 3G network runs on 850/1900MHz, while T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100MHz). There is integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, however.

  • this phone is amazing

    actually this phone has a same menu as noia 5800 Xpressmusic and i luv it.

    i think N97 and 5800 are the best in the world.

  • N97 will(is) be better than the 5800!

  • nope, not same menu, complete different, the one you saw perhaps is the old prototype model which has very eaarly firmware.....

  • Ok thnx! ^^

  • I bet it will be an amazing phone. alot of memory, qwerty keyboard. but i dont like the its design and its way of sliding the display and this new symbian UI... Lets just say I sold 5800 xpress after 3 days. I bought X1 and was never happier.

  • Every phone has pros and cons but this phone has more pros i think!

  • ive a new n97 and its a shame its slow and buggy! also shouldve had a 8mp camera and music. might sell it and get the palm pre, or iphone for its apps there are no good apps for the N97 well fitness ones that is bloody nokia out with old crap and a flahy front (should be a least 1 step ahead of apple for all the years they had the market tells you alot about the nokia as a company)

  • I'm saving my money for it now and they shouldv'e kept the side music controls that you slide the phone over for like the recent nokia

  • If you add the phones4u 'are you popular' Facebook application you have a great chance of winning this phone.
