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

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...

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

Expensive; poor keyboard; clunky interface
The mobile industry continues to move at a blistering pace, and ultimately it feels like the N97 is already dated. There are simply better keyboards, better displays, better interfaces and smaller devices out there these days. ...

The N97 has got a comprehensive feature set but each of its core features has been bettered elsewhere. Jack of all trades, master of none? PerhapsPros:Qwerty keyboardLarge touchscreen32GB built-in memory3.5mm jackCons:Drab interfaceTemperamental came...
Just as I was finishing writing this review I saw on the internet that a software update had been announced. For all those people that have experienced some unstable programs on the device I think your problems will now be over. Why manufactures can&rsquo...
Abstract: Nokia's N97 is, for me, one of the most eagerly anticipated handsets of 2009. Yes, I know, we've had Apple and Android stealing a lot of the attention as far as smartphones are concerned, but Nokia was doing well with smartphones long before either of the...
Abstract: Its an all out smartphone war The iPhone 3GS isn’t the biggest or grandest of updates, but for us, it does enough to maintain Apple’s number one spot. We assume Apple has taken an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” approach. Gone, however, are the ...
