N97 Mini finally launched !

The wait is over.Nokia N97 has finally launched after months of anticipation.The dimensions of the mobile phone are apt.Though the dimensions of the phone are different on the paper,it fells a lot smaller in hand.The build is excellent and the slider mechanism works flawlessly.





Front view:

The menu key has been changed and looks similar to the keys in N86 with dotted pattern.However the call key and he end keys are just like any standard Nokia mobile.the keys are kept at a comfortable angle so that it is easy to use in both portrait and landscape mode.





Features:

The keys to Nokia 97 possess the same basic design and shape.The space key is on the right side which makes the beginner take some time to get used to.The plastic cover from the rear side is removed and replaced with small metal cover which not only saves millimetres of thickness but also adds solidity to the design.The camera does not have a lens cover which makes it prone to damage.


Software:

Nokia N97 runs on Symbian S 60 5th edition and possesses kinetic scrolling.Although Kinetic scrolling was available in mobile phones such as Nokia 5530 Xpress music,it works in the main menu with icon view in this phone. The interface speed is good and the phone,responsive.The n97 mini is priced at Rs. 30,000 which is a thousand bucks cheaper than N97 itself.

In a glimpse Nokia E 52

The Nokia E52 is a no-compromise electronic gadget and you can tell at a glimpse. The extensive use of metal doesn't go unnoticed by either eye or hand. Speaking of hand feel - the excellent build quality is perfectly matched to any other of mobile phone.




The hardware is top notch as you have every right to expect in the Nokia E series, except for the camera of course, but don't pretend you're surprised now. Well, the QVGA screen could be questioned too, but non-touch Symbians just seem stuck at that resolution and that's that.

With great email and office support, excellent browser and speedy CPU to run things fast and smooth, only one question remains. Is there really much left for the E55? It's practically the same phone with a half-QWERTY keyboard.The Nokia E52 is flawlessly built just like the Nokia 6700 classic. The phone looks great all over and is one of those few that really manage to impress our team so much. A joy to have around, the handset is equally comfortable to use. Splendid ergonomics, durability and hot looks make a perfect mix.

Nokia N97--Lappy-like

The Nokia N97 will be powered by Symbian S60 5th edition (S60v5), a new touch-enabled version of the operating system this company puts on its high-end models. It will be based on a 434 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM.The 1500 mAh battery will be good for up to 9.5 hours of talk time or 4.5 hours of video playback.

This device is going to include a 3.5-inch, 640-by-360-pixel display that can be moved aside to revel its landscape-oriented keyboard. This will cause the screen to pivot up, making this phone look a bit like a small laptop.



The N97 will have no less than 32 GB of built-in storage. It will be supplemented by up to 16 GB more on a micro SD card.

Versions for Europe and N. America will have quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), and 3G (3.6 Mbps HSDPA) in frequencies appropriate for the region of release. In Europe, it will have 900/1900/2100 MHz, and in N. America it will have 850/1900/2100 MHz. Both versions will also have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR.

Other Features

Stereo and TV-Out will be handled by a 3.5 mm jack, and dual stereo speakers will also appear.

This model's web browser is going to be based on the Web Kit rendering engine and include Flash Lite 3.0.

The N97 is scheduled to debut in Europe in June, 2009 and in other parts of the world i.e. Nokia in India thereafter.
