N97Nokia N97 is a touch screen combining phone and “mobile computer” in the Nseries of smartphones by Nokia, with a fold-out QWERTY keyboard.

Announced on 2 December 2008, the N97 is Nokia’s second touchscreen phone (after the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic) that is based on Symbian OS with the Nokia S60 platform.N971

The Nokia N97 was released in US flagship stores on 9 June 2009[5] and on 26th June 2009 was released worldwide. In September 2009 it was reported that two million N97 handsets had been sold in three months following its release.[6]

N97′s come shipped with trial versions of Quick Office, Adobe reader, Boingo and JoikuSpot Premium as well as Nokia’s own Ovi Maps and Ovi store. Since the initial software has had mixed reception, a new, improved 2.0 software with kinetic scrolling is available for download since November, 2009. Delays to the release of the N97 firmware in the UK have been picked up by the Guardian newspaper.

Nokia surprised everyone with the touchscreen slider N97. It’s like an iPhone or a Storm. But dare I say… better? Nokia saw what people want nowadays and adapted. After trying out their first touchscreen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the Nokia brainiacs where ready for the next big thing. The Nokia N97 will certainly be the flagship smartphone of Nokia for quite a while.n972
