Nokia N97 Overview
The Nokia N97 is the world's most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other. The Nokia N97 is designed for Internet-savvy consumers, and combines a large 3.5' touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard. An 'always open' window gives immediate access to your favourite social networking sites and Internet destinations.
With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 introduces the concept of 'social location' - intuitively understanding where it is, and making it easy to update social networks with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their 'status' and share their 'social location' 'solo', as well as any related pictures or videos. The home screen also features the people, content and media that matter the most. Friends, social networks and news are immediately available by simply touching the home screen. The 16:9 widescreen display can be fully personalized with favorite web services and social networking sites.
The Nokia N97 is perfectly suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensures efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing. It also supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more, and is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days.
The Nokia N97 has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.
