Nokia n97 mini. Small package, big loving
Size isn’t everything, as we’re told. And as we tell ourselves each and every day. Whether that’s your belly, you feet, your **** or your ********, it only takes a look in the mirror to spark that little phrase in your head.
Well, it’s true, of course. Size isn’t everything. But it does count for a hell of a lot, especially in the fickle world of mobile communications. Or phones, to us a slightly smaller description. And that, basically, is what you’ve got with the Nokia N97 Mini: the same thing as before, just in smaller package. There’s a couple of minor changes: the 32GB of internal storage has been bumped down to 8GB (though you can bump yourself back up to 24GB with a microSD card) and the keyboard’s been re-jiggered (technical term, you heard right) to make it smaller, the biggest loser being the d-pad which has been cast into, well, keyboard heaven, if such a place exists.
You may hear too some waffle about extra Facebook connectivity, some improved scrolling features, etc. and so on and so forth, but for all those tiny tweaks, little has really happened apart from that size shift with this ‘new’ Nokia N97.
so… well… there we have it. We could say we’re disappointed but that’s not really true… underwhelmed, perhaps, is more accurate. But then even that sounds harsh. As this Nokia N97 mini review shows, this is far from being a good phone. But perhaps Nokia could have done just a little bit more; just added a little bit more razzmatazz, a little more flair.
But hey ho, if you’ve been resisting getting the n97 because, well, it’s huge, then you’ll no doubt fall in the love with this little thing in no time at all. Get your greasy mitts on these Nokia N97 Mini deals, or have a little look at the rather flashy video below.
