grahamdaly's review of Nokia N97

“I progressed to the Nokia N97 via the N95 & the N95...”

★★★★☆

written by grahamdaly on 25/11/2009

I progressed to the Nokia N97 via the N95 & the N95 8Gb. Initially I had reservations as I found the N97 difficult to use but now I am used to it it's fine. The touchscreen is great & the QWERTY keyboard is useful. 32Gb memory is excellent, I have saved 6 movies, 350 songs, photos, documents & I'm not short of memory at all. (More on memory later though). I do use the stylus although it is quite useablw with your finger. I can't believe there is no storage for the stylus in the phone! This is really bad & I've lost 3 styli already! The Home Screen is great & can be customised, it's SO easy to get to everything quickly. The best thing is that the phone is so versatile, it is everything I need....phone, PDA, camera, movie/music player, radio. I use all the functions all the time. Maybe I'm lucky but I've had few problems (there are lots of forums with complaints about stability/reliability). The only problems I have experienced are: irritating Nokia ringtone sounding even when the profile I have selected has silent ringtone & after the latest firmware update I could neither make nor receive calls without a hard reset.

Good Points: Touchscreen, camera, memory, features, kinetic scrolling, it does everything well.

Bad Points: Although the phone has 32Gb memory too little is phone memory so you can get 'low memory' warnings in normal use (the latest firmware update has improved this though. No storage for stylus.

Overall a very impressive, versatile phone. Recommended.
