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).

Why can’t any of these guys at the top end of the phone market introduce a high end phone with all the features, AND with dual sim ? I am sick and tired of having to carry around two phones. Samsung has one, but no WLAN. While on the subject, why can’t these guys get together and come up with a solution to have the same charger plug. Even Nokia keeps changing theirs and my latest Nokia charger doesn’t work with the previous phone - which I still use.
Well CraigS the answer to your question or questions is very simple. I’m quite sure they’ve discussed it, but think about it. If Nokia, Apple and Samsung or any phone company for that matter came together and made a phone with every feature possible then that would more than likely than not end the phone competition around the world and that would be the end of the phone manufacturing business, because they would all go out of business for the simple fact that if that were to happen, although that phone would be very expensive to get your hands, we would still buy it because it has every feature possible and although it would be an hell of an investment and there would be no reason to make another phone. Like if they were to continue making phones after this “every possible feature phone” nobody in the world would buy it. For what? This phone has all you need while on the other hand the others dont and they would be of no use to us. Why? Because this phone has every feature possible. The end result is that the phone manufactuers go out of business because noone is buying anymore of their phones because of this particular phone. Now people are out of jobs and well its a dominoe affect after that. The same with a vehicle. If a company produces a engine that lasts forever then why would you buy another vehicle? You wouldnt. Thats why they have all these parts and tune-ups and etc;. And that why Nokia keeps changing its chargers. So customers like CraigS can continue to spend the extra money on a new charger everytime a new phone comes out and you buy it. I know it was lengthy but I had to make a point: ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ‘ROUND.
What the… I read some people talks about that microsoft mobile..??hey if you want a faster productive stuff… use a laptop… ir buy a personal desktop computer and buy the most ram, best motherboard, processor and etc. etc… don’t blame nokia about it… the cellphone is needs more of these and that… they can actually make a laptop into a cellphone or handheld… but the price will soar high up in the sky because of thetop end products… then you complain about it then…. etc etc.. bllah blah blah…
its rumored of it have the arm11 326mhz processor but overclocked with a ti omap3 chipset at 800mhz. this would own so much if it had a 1ghz processor . hell even 800. better than the iphone which has a 600 sumtin processor. it has really good gaming gfx for a phone, i read that its as powerfull as the sega dreamcast when it comes to shelling out gfx power. hope the n97 is better. and with a 1700/2100mhz us 3g band.
Excuse me “Mr.NokiaUserSinceCellPhoneStarted “, but learn how to fucking type and talk before you start talking shit over the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, honestly, for the 5800 touch interface was abit disappointing, im sure in this phone, it will be better..
I want this phone so badly , can’t they bring the release date forward
bull it has only 3.5 ‘ screen which is still awesome ! But i was expecting the camera to be 8 or smth Mp cuz Samsung and LG already have put touch phones with 8 Mp Renoir and Pixon !!!! But i think this phone will be awesome because of the memory and in the end it is a NOKIA!!!!!
