Nokia N97 US Review

Score: 46.9 / 100

Nokia N97 US is a mid-end Symbian phone, packed with a 5 MP back side camera, a 3.5" touch-screen and a fast CPU ticking at 434 megahertz.

This cellphone is a bit heavy for a cellphone of this size, weighting 5.29 oz. The Nokia N97 US is a little bit thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.63".

This device includes a good looking 3.5" display with a 640 x 360 resolution, which makes all images and movies look very good. Its display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

Nokia equipped this phone with a good processing unit running at 434 megahertz and only 128 MB of RAM. This cellphone counts with a huge 32 GB internal memory and an external SD slot, allowing the user to install tons of apps, games, photos and videos without worrying about how much storage capacity is left.

The Nokia N97 US only features a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera. this cellphone's back facing camera has a maximum 2.8 aperture so it's serious problems taking good photographs in poorly lit environments. It is also able to shoot videos in 640x480 (VGA) at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera features flash.

This device offers wifi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM services.

The Nokia N97 US also features a few nice features such as Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS Navigation, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Nokia N97 US comes with a medium capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery providing this cellphone with a poor battery duration. This cellphone has an estimated talk time of 6.7 hours and a stand by time of 430 hours.

This phone is priced about $ 165, a high price for comparing with other similar cellphones.
