    CNET Review

    June 24, 2009

    The Good: The Nokia N97 features a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and 32GB of internal flash memory. The smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS and comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera.

    The Bad: The N97's touch user interface isn't well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing, especially compared with the competition. We would have preferred a capacitive touch screen instead of resistive.

    The Bottom Line: While the Nokia N97 is packed with features and offers the freedom of an unlocked phone, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag, and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the market.

    Review Summary: Build quality aside, most of the design elements remain the same. The front sports a single physical Menu button under the screen, beside the touch-sensitive Call and End keys. The left side is where you find a micro-USB port and lock switch. A ...

    Review Summary: The original Nokia N97 was the first sign of that as it hardly offered any ground-breaking features, instead relaying on the good all-round performance. However the first high-end S60 touchscreen handset left enough room for another similar handset in ...

    Review Summary: 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.
