Get ready for the little brother of the Nokia N97, the Nokia N97 Mini
After months of leaks and raging debates at many online forums, including Nokia Conversations, the phone has finally been officially unveiled at the Nokia World 2009 held in September this year. The Mini is a slightly downgraded version of the flagship of Nokia, the Nokia N97, and is set to be released in October in most markets around the world, including in the UK, for an estimated price of about 300 euro (£275). Nokia N97 Mini Reviews have been fairly positive, so let’s lift the hood and see what the Mini is all about.
The Mini is capable of being used on all 2G as well as 3G networks, making it compatible for use wherever you go. The waistline of the phone measures in at 14.2 mm and weighs a fairly hefty 138 grams. However, considering the fact that it is a slider – touchscreen phone, it seems OK. The phone makes use of a 3.2 inch TFT resistive touchscreen, which has a resolution of 360×640 pixels and is capable of displaying upto 16 million colours. The phone also features an accelerometer sensor as well as a proximity sensor, which is used to lock the screen when you are attending to a call.
It has a 3.5 mm headset jack, which will enable you to use your favourite headset to play songs on the phone. The internal memory of the phone is 8 GB and it can be expanded to a maximum of 16 GB via the microSD memory card slot.
Internet connectivity options include Class 32 GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA and Wi-Fi. Stereo Bluetooth connectivity is also available. MicroUSB connectivity is available to connect to the computer. The camera is a 5 MP Carl Zeiss one with autofocus and Dual LED flash. Video recording is possible @ 30fps. Secondary camera is also present. Make sure you keep an eye out for the many superb Nokia N97 Mini contracts later this month when the phone is released.
