Nokia N97 mini, lovely but an expensive phone

The main software is almost the same as that of Nokia N 97, so not much difference there. It will hit the stores pretty soon at a price of around EUR 450 before counting for all the taxes and subsidies.

"In September, 2009, we exceeded 2 million Nokia N97 devices sold, and now introduce the Nokia N97 mini, underscoring the success of the design. We have also listened to consumer feedback about the performance of the device. The Nokia N97 software update 2.0 is a way for us to optimize the device and add new features and functions," said Jose-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nokia Nseries. "We are also excited about the early feedback that we have received on the Nokia N97 mini, which carries a very similar feature set to the original Nokia N97 and comes in a pocket-friendly size for those out and about."

There are many new additions in the mini Nokia N97, like 'flip scrolling’, shortcuts to personalized homescreen, 3-D maps, Nokia e-mail (Nokia Messaging), etc. one thing that makes Nokia stand out amongst its rival firms is the very fact that it keeps on updating its its devices with new features, so that people can get to enjoy even after a few years of buying it and it doesn’t go stale. You can download this stuff from their website easily. The regular MyNokia members also have an SMS service where they get a notification whenever anything new regarding their set or application becomes available. You can get yourself registered for this service at www.nokia.com/mynokia.
