Nokia now has a new flagship cell phone, the Nokia N97. We now have all the details, from specs, price and that all important release date. The new N97 has a 5-inch, 640 x 360 pixel screen, giving you an aspect ratio of 16:9. Did we forget to mention that the display is also touchscreen.
The screen has tactile feedback, as well as a sliding QWERTY keyboard, giving you the best of both worlds. Nokia have made a big statement about the N97, saying that it is the “world’s most advanced mobile computer.”
So let’s see if the specs can back up this claim, 32GB of onboard memory, as well as a microSD expansion, up to 48GB, that puts the iPhone to shame then. The phone also features HSDPA, WiFi and 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss glass. The Nokia will launch in H1 2009, and will cost around €550 ($693).

seem’s nice, i have the n95 and it served me well. this just might be a release for uk and then of course there we’ll be three more releases with updated specs more features. Till then i’ll just hold on to my cash before i shell out another 800 bucks again.
What’s the use of having the world’s best mobile computer if it doesn’t have MS Windows Mobile? How productive can you be with other mobile office software. I dont think the N97 will be good enough for serious business users. It’s good for people who have a lot of time to spare with gaming & multimedia
windows mobile has NO WHERE NEAR the amount of capabilities as symbian 60 has. its so customizable, its not even funny. Windows mobile is so slow too. even if the phone has a decent processor, it doesnt compare to nokia’s software.
i can agree with cody i’ve was capable of putting large amounts of apps. that i used from day to day and since then i’ve never loved a piece of equipment as much as i do now. see i produce music and i’ve got this app. in which i can use my phone as a beat machine and i love it till death especially if i have an idea in my head and i need to do a quick lay down. also with symbian they upgrade their firmware every 4 months or so.
to be honest 6.35 dollars that is alot of money. I WONT IT NOW AND I HOPE I CAN GET IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY IT IS A AWSOME PHONE AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS BETTER THAN THE IPHONE……………………YAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY
when is the release date. i want it so bad ;p
This is only the start of nokia big releases for 2009. Buy the end of the year well be seeing phones that will be exceeding well over 64gb aswell as expandable sd cards so come this time next year were will the i phone / storm stand
I Like It !! i need to have 1…i used to have n95..then n95 8gb..and now n96..i guess the 4th one will be the n97..hope that nokia won’t miss any great features..like increasing battery life so it would be like the n95 8gb or better..but i think that this phone will (i hope not) include a problem in this phone,,,maybe some slow interface or frequent freezing…
Yeah .. a nicey gadget, but a pricey stuff .. THE MORE FEATURES IN IT, THE MORE TROUBLES . .. The E-90 which I used for 6 months starting to scream freakly . does anybody have this e90 speaker prblm? Hopefully not in N97 …. wil see !!
I have to agree with celz on this one. if the n97 has power like he mentioned then there wont be a phone in the world that can touch it. i have an iphone and honestly i love it but ive done my research on gsmarena like any phone fanatic should, and the n97 will be the hottest phone out when released. Im even going as far as using my income tax check to get the phone. But any phone fanatic should know that phones constantly change as technology changes and that the only way to really tell if a phone is really good and better than another phone is by actually using it yourself. Different people use different phones and brands to suit their needs or wants in a phone. thats why you have your nokias, apples, sony ericssons, iphones, g1s, n97s, and etc;. I guess we’ll all find out when its released. 1 thing is for sure though no matter anybody says: IM GETTING ME A NOKIA N97!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
