The editors didn't like
Drab interface
Temperamental camera
Touchscreen not as sensitive as rivals
Qwerty a bit spongy
Expensive
Poor keyboard
Clunky interface
Unpredictable OS
Lack of video codec support
Chunky design
Underpowered processor
Sometimes sluggish when browsing the web and awkward when navigating around the interface
Large and heavy
Temperamental web browser
And sometimes needs double taps to activate selection.
Ovi Store is only potential at the moment
Video could be better
The touchscreen is less responsive than we’d like
And worse than rivals.
Big and bulky
Pricey
Sluggish processor
Not too much here
To be honest. If we're being really picky
The secondary function key is hidden away on the right-hand side of the phone. Surely a more natural fit would have been to position it on the left-hand side? Hmm? Also
While this does com...
Touch interface lacks fluidity
Thickness
Ovi Store still limited
System is sometimes slow
Bland user interface not the easiest to use
Unimpressive-looking display
Resistive touchscreen
Still some bugs
No multitouch
Poor battery life
Clunky and outdated Symbian operating system
Slightly odd QWERTY keyboard
Touch user interface isnt well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing

Abstract: Share The Nokia N97 will be out on 19th June exclusively on Vodafone for a whole week before all but O2 get a look in. The RRP for the SIM free version is £499 or you can spread it over an 18-month contract for £40 per month making it one of the priciest...
Abstract: The N97 has plenty of features and its touch based operating system is still something of a novelty for Nokia. We aren't convinced it is as responsive or intuitive as other touch based smartphone operating systems, though. Nokia - N97 price Buy Nokia ...
Nokia's phones are reliable, solid and exceptionally accessible. There will be many people who've held back from touchscreen phones because they didn't want to lose the Nokia user-friendliness. The N97 is a good phone, with lots of good features, but t...
The Nokia N97 is like a Pagani Zonda supercar – it’s been pushed to the very limit and excels in certain areas (both have a satisfing boot clunk) , but it’s not without it’s quirks. Is the N97 the best phone ever? Not quite. Does it come close? Very!Lo...
Technology usually moves forward, but Nokia’s top Nseries models seem to have been moving in the wrong direction since the N95 8GB. The N96 was a chunky brick that didn’t bring much to the table (and was beaten by the relatively anonymous N85...
Abstract: The Nokia N97 and I didn’t get on well at the start. Firstly, I couldn’t get the phone to boot beyond the holding page and it wasn’t until I threatened to send it to a colleague known for his love of taking gadgets apart that it perked up. After that, ...
I think the N97 is misunderstood. It is certainly not in the same space as the iPhone 3GS and I wish that the Symbian operating system worked better with the needs of a touch screen user interface but if you can get over the navigation I think you will...
