Nokia launches N97, first N-Series with Qwerty

Nokia launched the N 97 multimedia smart touch phone (Nokia just calls it Multimedia Computer ). The most distinguishing feature of N97 is that it has a physical Qwerty keypad to help in messaging and mailing. Another touted feature is the 35 degree kickstand that helps in watching videos but can be bothersome if you drop the phone.

Looking at the spces, it has a 5 Mega Pixel Camera with Carl Zeiss Optics, 32 GB Flash Storage, a huge 3.5 inch screen with a decent (by HTC Touch HD's standards) resolution of 640 x 360, Wi-fi, GPS, FM Transmitter, 3.5 mm jack and a digital compass too. The styling is different than the N81/N96/N85 clones we saw from Nokia and we welcome that. Apart from the huge storage and the huge screen there's not much in it to differentiate it from it's other N-Series Brothers and Sisters like N85 & N96. The N97 is basically a Qwerty version of Nokia 5800 with double the storage of N96 and having all the features of N85. The N97 also supports widgets on it's home screen. The N97 also has a social feature which Nokia calls "So-Lo" which allows your friends to update their location and status.

Nokia seems to have learnt from it's mistake of N95 and N96 & has equipped the N97 with a 1500 mAh battery which should be adequate for a phone of it's size. The phone comes with a Digital Compass and Nokia Maps 3.0. The N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes or subsidies. Nokia is definitely impressed to make the N97 it's Flagship of 2009. How much of a fight will it give to Sony Ericcsion Xperia X1 and a possible HTC Touch HD Pro is to be seen.

Sony Ericsson W902 Review by Smape

Smape has reviewed the Sony Ericsson W902 in a very long & detailed review with lots of pics.

For a long time, Sony Ericsson have been following the policy of an accurate segmentation of their products. The majority of music-oriented solutions normally have below-than-average camera capabilities, the cameraphones almost never get a decent headset in the bundling and come around with a very plain player interface. The W980i music phone flagship equipped with a 8 Gb onboard flash storage unit is a good illustration to this policy. The camera is pretty plain, and so is the camera-controlling application. At that, the model utilizes the integrated accelerometer to the full, the ShakeControl feature greatly improving the usability of the music player.
