Nokia N97 First Impressions
Nokia N97 review
In the hands of a beautiful feeling of solidity, the materials are very good, you see that is a high-end product. The size comparison to my old Nokia N95 is even lower. The thickness is almost equal to the naked eye but considering that the horizontal sliding keyboard is not bad. There has been a lot of widgets in the screen, and I must say that even if all things are not generally a lover of the genre, are very comfortable. Default is divided into several sections where you can find: Facebook, weather conditions, time, 4 favorite contacts, shortcut for 4 applications and direct access to the mail. Course be configured and customized according to your needs.
Display
Large enough to surf on any site. The definition is very high in all conditions, even in the sun because the visibility is excellent. The Nokia declaring a size of 3.5 inches, the same as iPhone which is only slightly more rectangular, has a wider and lower. The resolution is 640 x 360 pixels up to 16 million colors.
Keyboard
True highlight of the new Nokia N97. Removable horizontally is comfortable to use. The buttons are arranged in 3 rows. Also be used without problems even for those who have their fingers a little children. The slider mechanism is very solid and fluid.
Touchscreen
Technically, we are faced with a resistive touch screen with touch-sensitive foil separated and tactile feedback but what does that mean? I can tell you that in comparison with the iPhone. There’s no comparison. The system is multi touch iPhone certainly, certainly different but the nokia n97 comes out defeated like all the other phones in the world. There is one small stylus that ease the usability of the functions on the screen. The only flaw is that it has a removable compartment, is attached as if it were the classical pieces in the sponge to clean the glass of the display.
Camera
The camera of the Nokia N97 is good to be a cell, aligned with my Nokia N95. We are still far from the quality of digital cameras (including low-end), but may find it useful to photos or small movies to be done on the fly.
Internet
I squeezed down the Nokia N97 in 3 ways. The first connecting to Wifi network, the second through the 3G network with my 3 sim and finally as a modem connecting to my laptop. During the first 2 cases the configuration is the Nokia classic, simple and immediate. Using it as a modem I used a dial-up connection and I have to say that went pretty well, I have reached download speeds of about 350Kb / s constant. The browser’s serial phone has the basic functions, but remains fast enough a little ‘rough, I noticed for example the inability to resize the width of the site, very useful feature that almost all mobile phones. For the rest does his duty, shame that have not included the modem HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, but have left the old 3.6-Mbps.
Software
We are faced with an operating system of all respect, the Symbian come to the fifth edition. Sometimes the phone freezes and more than once I had to reboot. I also noticed that when an excessive use of internet in wifi, the signal reception disappears. Is resolved only by rebooting the phone in this case. The management software touchscreen for example, is a slow and even the rotation of the screen is not smooth as one would expect from a phone of its kind. For the rest we have to consider who is in possession of a cell reserved for professionals, probably with the next firmware updates will resolve many problems. There are also voice commands but not so much to tell you why I have not tested.
Final considerations
Nokia N97 mobile phone that there is no doubt. If you’ve read all the review you’ll see that it is not perfect. There are small problems that Nokia is facing (as always when it launches a new product on the market). If you want my advice wait at least the exit of the first firmware update, so at present I gave a great sense of assurance.
