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

Incall quality is not good enough, Lack of full Office support, Limited support of video formats
With the Nokia N97, the manufacturer brings their top range N-series into the realm of smart phone fashion that is called touch sensitive screens. The phone is also being introduced as a mobile computer, although it is far from being one. Computers sho...
Nokia tried really hard here, but to be honest, speaking from my personal opinion, the second I saw the N97 announcement I skipped right over it in my head. I’m the biggest N95-4 fan you’ll find — but S60 5th Edition with a resistive screen, horrible ...
Abstract: OK. Take the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, now well known and loved. Add: a larger screen (3.5" rather than 3.2")32GB of internal flash memory (yes, 32 GIGABYTES)a functional slide-out qwerty keyboarda mechanical d-pad for game playinga more sensitive resist...
On paper, the N97 is a hell of a device. We like the feel of the N97 and its interface looks interesting so far. We expect it will easily cover the basics in functionality found in previous N-series devices, which have always been highly-capable multim...
Abstract: The N97s reception quality was nothing to complain about. Its ring tones were loud and more than audible in various environments, although its worth mentioning that youll need to pay a bit more attention to what ring tones you set, simply because s...
Abstract: One of Nokias best kept secrets has been released to the world! The N97 is here! Tensions were high yesterday as everyone wondered what Nokia was going to release this week. With no leaks, some even doubted that they were releasing any new devices at ...

Currently, the Nokia N97 is only being released in Europe, so American consumers may have to wait a while ,It has a pretty hefty price tag, but this can be expected to lower as it gets onto and stays on the market for a while ,
the N97 is a shining achievement for Nokia, and its certainly something that will impress the most technically savvy of cell phone users. ...
