Hands-on with Nokia N97 mini

Phone Arena gets its hands on the Nokia N97 mini. It is a more compact alternative to the N97. As a whole, the device is the same (you still get the tilting mechanism of the display), only a bit smaller. There are some cosmetic changes to the design though, with the most significant one seemingly being the lack of both a D-pad on the keyboard and a sliding camera cover...

When you say "Hands On", You are supposed to do a full review. Not just you holding it.

I suggest you change it to "A First Look".

@CherryExplosionn

yes you can just swipe the screen sideways to hide it, or just from the 'option' button on the left side of screen

@KoukiFC3S well when i tested the keyboard in a store the keys was much better. even though the keys are smaller suprising they were much better. but when i tested n97 mini in another store the keys were worse i dont know why. it was much harder to press when i was in second store. weird. it can be that some 97 mini keys are better than n97 and some are worse than n97. but its really weird.
