1. The new phone has been ergonomically designed and it's definitely smoother than many previous Nokia mobiles – a clear iPhone influence.
2. Like Apple's OS X-powered version, the Nokia's home screen is fully customisable and you can move widget icons around with your finger. You can also flick though your photos, like on the iPhone. Even old people can do that.
3. The 3.5-inch widescreen is fully touch compatible, though isn't multi-touch like the iPhone's. It's a bit of a shame, but Apple really patented up the iPhone, so it's no wonder. The N97 will also impressively shoot 16:9 video. If you really need to...
4. There's a whopping 32GB of internal storage for music, photos, video and more. There's also space for another 16GB via the Micro SD slot. 48GB on a mobile (expect 64GB to come next from Apple, then).
5. Nokia is also making the most from the N97's battery life. It promises the new handset will "kick out up to 37 hours of music and 4.5 hours of video." The batteries are also fully interchangeable.
6. The N97 has a 5 megapixel camera phone with a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. Compared to the iPhone's paltry 2 megapixel, that's a whole lot more impressive, though not peerless. And there's a dual LED flash, too – you really will be able to take proper pictures with this thing.

Using the FM Transmitter on the Nokia N97
he Nokia N97 has one little awesome feature that doesnt seem to be getting as much attention as it should be. Oh yes, I’m talking about the Built-in FM Transmitter on this baby.
Personally, I love this little feature, and more Nokia devices should have it. Seriously. First of all, there’s no wires, no mess. Secondly this means if you or a friend are traveling in my car, and have music on your FM-Transmitter-equipped devices (like the N79, N97, etc), you can basically listen to tunes from both devices, easily, on the Car stereo. How cool is that ? And you dont need an expensive car stereo system to get it going.
Wait, so what DO you need to get this going ?
Well, first you’ll need an N97, or any Nokia device with the FM-Transmitter built in (like the N79).
Second, you’ll need a radio that can be tuned to different frequencies. In my case I’ve used my Car Radio.
Remember, the FM Transmitter can only broadcast a signal so far, so make sure your device is inside the car, not lying back on your desk at home ;-) . It goes without saying that you should probably extend your car Radio antenna for best reception.
And that’s it ! You’re now equipped to use that FM Transmitter on your N97 properly.
To start broadcasting a signal, head on over to the FM Transmitter App and start it up.
When it loads up, you’ll see that you can set your FM Broadcast Signal.
I’ve used the default 90.00Mhz on my device, because no other radio station in my town uses that particular frequency. Of course if you want, you can change it from anything between 88.1 – 108 MHz.
The App keeps a record of any previous frequencies you’ve used, so you dont have to worry about forgetting.
Once you’ve got the frequency set, go ahead and start up the FM Transmitter by activating it.
As soon as its turned on, you’ll get a small quick reminder about which frequency you’re broadcasting on, and what you have to tune your radio to, to listen in. Like we mentioned earlier, we were using 90.00Mhz here.
Remember, if you want to deactivate it at any time, just click the FM Transmitter button and select “Off”.

Windows Live Messenger for N97 released
icrosoft has finally released Windows Live Messenger for phones equipped with Symbian S60 5th edition which are the 5800 XpressMusic and the N97. Now, users can install this IM app to chat with their MSN buddies and to obtain access to Windows Live Hotmail accounts, which is a major advantage if you use Hotmail or MSN mail as your preferred inbox since Nokia e-mail doesn’t allow to connect to Hotmail accounts.
Even though there hasn’t been any recent news about the N97 release date, many companies are already releasing apps and themes for the upcoming flagship and for the 5800 as well.
Having this app installed on your device means that you can have access to this community, however, I consider a greater advantage to have an app such as Fring or Nimbuzz that allows the user to connect to other communities using only one application. These communities include AIM, GTalk, MSN, Skype (including VoIP calls), among others.

5 Tips to Increase Battery Life on the Nokia N97
Nokia N97 comes with a good battery life, it leasts more than 1 day in the majority of the cases, even using a bit of every applications and remaining some of them open. Nokia N97 is indeed a pocket computer, fast and with a very high battery life. However you have some ways to increase the battery life of your Nokia N97:
1) Fully charge the phone’s battery – This is very important and obvious. When you charge your phone you must left it charging until the bars got the top and stopped moving. Removing it earlier would make damages to the battery. However you don’t need to wait untilthe phone gets without battery to start charging it. You can charge the battery even if it is almost full and it won’t make any damages, because the Nokia N97 has modern lithium batteries.
2)Do not switch the phone off - SmartPhones like Nokia N97 are like computers, by turning on them they use a lot of energy, so, we opt to suspend the PC’s. With smartphones the same thing applies, switching it off and then turning on will consume a lot ofbattery, you can just block the keyboard (suspend in the computer language), and this way you can even save Nokia N97 battery.
3)Turn down the Nokia N97’s screen brightness to a lower level, and also set your light-time out to 10 seconds
4)Use headphones instead of speakers – This way you will consume less battery on the Nokia N97
5) Exit unnecessary applications - The only application that I may let turned on during the day is the Nokia E-mail, it runs 24 by 24 hours and this Nokia application consumes a lot of memory if you left the synchronization turned on, or if the intervals between synchronizations are little. If you want to save memory on your Nokia N97 close unnecessary applications and reduce the e-mail synchronization of your device. Also, don’t use the red button to turn off the application, because it can always run on background, use the “exit” option in the “options” menu.

Nokia N97 Data Connection
These numbers can vary depending on your location and quality of signal. I wish that I had more time to run around San Francisco, but this is what I got at the office:
* 3.5G: 630Kbps
* WIFI: 1.4Mbps
Note that it is technically possible to use the Nokia N97 as a 3.5G modem. It works only via Bluetooth, which tends to deplete the battery faster. I think that a USB tethering option would come in handy in the future. The modem drivers are in the Nokia PC Suite or can be downloaded separately if you don't want to install all the software package.

Nokia Maps/Mapping
The N97 comes loaded with Nokia Maps, and I can say that it is my best "out of the box" experience with a default navigation app. Unlike Google maps, the Nokia maps are cached on the device itself, so once they are onboard, they are not downloaded (over the air) again. Better yet: you can pre-load an entire city, country or the whole world (4GB) so that Nokia maps doesn't load the maps while you're traveling. That cuts down on roaming charges, waiting time and frustration.
Nokia Maps is fast and lets you scroll the map smoothly. Upon a zoom in/out it will take a second readjust the level of details (see video). I found the compass be not very useful in pedestrian mode. Using it makes the map rotate left and right -all the time- which doesn't help the overall map readability. Nokia should also improve the search and use a single text field like Google Maps does. It is also not possible to select an origin/destination directly on the map. That would be easy to add.

Nokia N 97 browsing Quality
Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5" touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an ‘always open’ window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations. Nokia’s flagship Nseries device introduces leading technology - including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds - for people to create a personal Internet and share their ‘social location.’
The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of ‘social location’. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their ‘status’ and share their ‘social location’ as well as related pictures or videos.
The Nokia N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more. This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The Nokia N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.
The Nokia N97 has a good browser, it worked with pretty much all the sites that went to, including Yahoo Finance and Google Docs. Y! Finance is usually an interesting site to try on a phone because it's hard to render on small displays. The N97's resolution is high enough to display it correctly, so that's a win. It is possible to log into Google Docs and view text documents, but sheets did not work, even in read-only mode. Adobe Flash Lite is supported. You can go on YouTube, follow links to YouTube and do things that you would normally do on a computer, without going through a YouTube "app"

Nokia N97 Demo
Over two years ago we thought we knew what Nokia had in mind for their secret N97 phone. And we thought we had pictures too. Boy, were we wrong but then again nobody else had any facts about the future N-series handset. How were we to know that Nokia will launch its N97 only on December 2nd 2008? Here's what we wrote back then:
Well now, what do we have here? This device is rumored to be N97 and only time will tell if its Nokia's latest offering or a result of someone's Photoshop skills! According to the rumor mill, the handset is equipped with a 3 inch display and will in all probability have a 5 Megapixel camera with 20x digital zoom! The N97 promises both fun and functionality and will also include a miniSD card and 20GB of internal memory! We shall keep you updated on this one!
In the mean time Nokia surprised everyone with the touchscreen slider N97. It’s like an iPhone or a Storm. But dare I say... better? Nokia saw what people want nowadays and adapted. After trying out their first touchscreen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the Nokia brainiacs where ready for the next big thing. The Nokia N97 will certainly be the flagship smartphone of Nokia for quite a while. Here are some of its features, which will make you choose it:
* a 3.5 inch widescreen 16:9 touchscreen
* haptic feedback
* full QWERTY slideout keyboard
* 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens and dual LED flash
* up to 32 GB of storage
* up to 16GB additional memory via microSD
* Symbian S60 5th Edition
* up to 37 hours of music / up to 4.5 hours of video
* A-GPS and GPS
* HSDPA, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, stereo Bluetooth connectivity
* a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Phone will cost 550 Euros before taxes and subsidies and it will be launched in the first half of 2009. What do you think? Like what you’ve seen so far? Don’t forget to check the video below too!

Nokia N97 camera review
The Nokia N97 comes with a 5-Megapixel camera built-in that supports dual-LED flash with high quality Carl Zeiss optics. It’s not just a stills camera, as you’ll find a front facing video camera for use in video conferencing and the main camera supports 16:9 and DVD quality video capture. We’ve been playing with the Nokia N97 camera for a few days, so check out our Nokia N97 camera review…
The Nokia N97 camera is a 5-Megapixel snapper that is more than capable of taking images at 2584 x 1938 pixels. The 3.5-inch touchscreen is used as the viewfinder and you’ll find a dedicated capture button, along with zoom controls on the right-hand side of the Nokia N97.
You’ll need to manually open the lens cover, otherwise when you open the camera app it will default to the secondary camera and you’ll find yourself staring back at you!
By default you can load the camera up either by pressing the capture button or using the widget button on the Homescreen of the Nokia N97. Once loaded, you’ll find the interface is the same as the one used on the Nokia 5800, which we were more than satisfied with. However, it does come with the option to switch to the Nokia N97 secondary camera – something earlier versions of Nokia 5800 lacked - it has since been included with update V20.
The interface is easy to get to grips with and is made even easier by being touch-enabled. Mode selection is also the same as with the Nokia 5800, so you can choose from the standard Scene and Video modes, as well as Colour Tone, White Balance and Exposure.
One new feature is the ability to switch between Single Shot and Sequence mode, with the latter allowing you to capture up to 18 snaps one after the other. This feature is great if you want to pan around an object or take a number of similar shots and choose the best one.
Getting the most from the UI means playing with it, as some of the features you’ll use often, such as macro (known as Close-up) take two clicks to activate instead. It pays to spend a little time checking out the various functions, as the Nokia N97 camera is more than just a basic point-n-click affair.
Nokia N97 Web browsing
The Nokia Nseries devices always impressed with their Web browsing ability, and the Nokia N97 does an admirable job, but the transition to touch hasn't added any new features, and some of our favorites are now missing. The mini map is gone, replaced by a simpler zoom slide that adds an extra couple of steps to browsing long Web pages. T-Mobile's G1 uses a touchable sort of mini map, and we wish Nokia would have gone this route. The browser rendered pages very nicely. Our own homepage looked perfect on the phone's screen. Still, both CNN and the New York Times refused to offer up their full desktop versions to our Nokia N97 review unit, and there was no way to change the way the browser describes itself (desktop vs. mobile) in the settings. Though pages loaded quickly, whether we were using the 3G HSDPA network or our own home Wi-Fi umbrella, we still wish the browser was more responsive. Flicking through pages or double-tapping to zoom in on text always produced a slight lag, and we wish these gestures would simply spring to action.
The Nokia N97 comes packed with Flash Lite 3.0, which means the phone can play videos directly from the YouTube Web page. In fact, though the phone seems to come with a dedicated YouTube app, this was only a link to the YouTube mobile page. Viewing the desktop version of YouTube in the Nokia N97's browser, we were able to play videos within the Web page itself, and the Nokia N97 did a better job handling Flash content than any other mobile phone we've seen. Pages still slowed to a halt while a video was playing, but video playback was completely watchable, if not smooth.
For GPS navigation, the Nokia N97 uses Nokia Maps. It's a nice mapping app, and it works well for turn-by-turn directions, but it clearly isn't ready for the N97's touchscreen. First of all, the globe on the opening Maps screen spins the wrong way when you touch it. Overall, the maps were not very responsive to touch input. The road headings were also clipped on the phone's screen, so that we usually didn't know if we were supposed to take a highway heading east or wes

Nokia N97 Messaging and Keyboard
As the top of the line phone in Nokia's Nseries arsenal, and the first with a full QWERTY keyboard, it is surprising that Nokia doesn't ship the Nokia N97 with more messaging options onboard. There is support for a very basic SMS and MMS client. There is no threaded text messaging to help keep track of conversations; this is a simpler wireframe app with no frills. There are no instant messaging clients on board. Usually we suggest downloading a third-party app for IM on Symbian phones, but the Ovi Store, so new to the platform, doesn't contain a single instant messaging application that will work with the touchscreen Nokia N97. There is a Facebook app that works with widget on the phone's homescreen. We wish there were more of these social networking apps for messaging, especially dedicated Twitter and MySpace Widgets for our homescreen, as well.
The best messaging feature on the Nokia N97, for us, was the Mail for Exchange app, but even this doesn't come close to the Exchange experience on a Windows Mobile phone. We couldn't dig into our subfolders, view HTML e-mail or quickly manage and delete useless messages.
The keyboard on the Nokia N97 is nice and wide, and was plenty easy for typing. We think Nokia could do better, but between this and the similarly side-sliding Nokia E75, we prefer the keys on the Nokia N97. Even with the 4-way button, the keyboard is still plenty large, and each letter gets its own soft and rubbery key. The space bar is strangely pushed off to one side, but we got used to this layout surprisingly quickly. If anything, we'd wish for more keys, with some shortcuts and perhaps a dedicated number row. But the hardware keyboard was the best part about the messaging experience on the Nokia N97.
There are software keyboards available onscreen if you don't want to open the phone, but we'd suggest avoiding them at all costs. The worst of these was a split grid of keys, arranged alphabetically, not in QWERTY fashion, that divided the letters among 2 pages. It was easily the least useful onscreen keyboard we have ever used on any phone.

nokia N97 and iPhone
1. It does 16:9 video. The iPhone doesn’t even do video. So, how can you go to a Daft Punk concert and record it to taunt your friends?
2. It has a 5 megapixel camera. The iPhone only has 2, and the quality isn’t even close. The camera also has a dual LED flash, so you can take pictures in the dark where the iPhone can’t.
3. I can type three Facebook status messages on the N97’s nice QWERTY keybord in the time that I can type two on the iPhone.
4. It does copy and paste, so you can copy URLs to send to your friends. The iPhone can’t do that.
5. It has replaceable batteries so you can charge up three batteries and Facebook for days, while the iPhone needs to be hooked back up to the wall for recharging after a few hours.
6. The GPS device does turn-by-turn and has a built in compass, so you’ll get to your parties faster than with the iPhone, which doesn’t have a compass and doesn’t do turn-by-turn.
OK, so how else does it compare to the iPhone? It has a touch screen, with a cool customizeable home screen. You can add a Facebook component and can drag and drop different components with your finger. You can also use gestures so you can “flick” through your photos. That part is very similar to the iPhone, so you can see that Steve Jobs had a big influence on the user experience.
The device itself has only one button and you can see Jonathan Ives’ challenge taken up all over the device. Close your eyes and touch the device and you don’t feel buttons or other things protuding. Smooth.

Nokia N97 soon in Pakistan
The highly anticipated Nokia N97, Nokia’s flagship mobile computer has been announced Saturday in Pakistan after its global launch in 75 countries worldwide. Along with a tilting 3.5" touch display, QWERTY keyboard and a fully customisable home screen, the Nokia N97 will offer instant access to the full range of Ovi services. The N97 is expected to be sold in Pakistan at a retail price of Rs 58,000.
The device was announced at a press event where two European models brought the phone at the venue and the Finnish First Secretary, Deputy Head of Mission H.E Miia Rainne handed over the phone to the GM Nokia Pakistan Imran Khalid Mahmood. Also present at the ceremony was Henri Mattila, Head of Category Marketing, Nseries Middle East and Africa.

Today, we take great pride in introducing the newest addition to Nokia Nseries Nokia N97. We have combined the most-advanced smartphone capabilities in this device to enhance the internet entertainment for our consumers and at the same time ease-of use with one-touch access to their favourite online content.
“The Nokia N97 is an important step towards our vision of delivering a highly personalized Internet experience,” Henri Mattila said. “Fuelled by a multitude of music, maps, games, media and applications via Ovi, the Nokia N97 transforms the Internet into an experience that’s completely tailored to the tastes and interests of its owner.”

Nokia N97 arrived
THE wait is over. Nokia has finally begun selling the much anticipated N97 in Malaysia.
At an event to showcase the phone to the media and invited guests last week, the company said that the N97 is designed to be a computer in your pocket, focusing mainly on the mobile Internet and web content.
With a 3.5in touchscreen display, 32GB of on-board memory, personalisable home screen with widgets and a full Qwerty keyboard with slide and tilt capability, this model certainly seems to be as close to a real desktop PC as it gets.
Nokia also confirmed that it is negotiating with local telcos to offer data packages.
“Since this phone is designed for the Internet, it only makes sense that there should be Internet packages available to make sure people can get the most out of the N97 without breaking the bank on data charges,” said Nokia Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei general manager Vlasta Berka.
“We are also working on a local Ovi store that can provide more regional content to add on to our existing products and services.”
The Ovi store is Nokia’s mobile storefront which offers a variety of content including games, videos, widgets, podcasts and other personalised content.

Nokia NSeries
The Nseries range is starting to look a bit tired, truth be told. There are many areas where Nokia are going to have to make improvements if Nseries can still be considered top of the class when it comes to multimedia, otherwise they risk falling far behind the competition and becoming just also rans.
First thing that needs to be addressed is the camera. For a long time now, the standard camera on an Nseries device is 5.0 megapixel with autofocus, and Carl Zeiss optics. Which, in itself, is ok I guess. But other manufacturers are offering so much more; why no face detection, smile detection, blink detection? No image stabilisation? Why not something like Best Pic which Sony Ericsson have been offering on their Cybershot phones for years! With other devices offering cameras with so much more in terms of features, the camera on NSeries is starting to look a bit tired in comparison.
Then consider video capture. Again, I guess you could say an Nseries device is adequate, but QVGA @ 30fps just isn't enough anymore. Nseries needs to start offering high definition video capture, higher frame rate, super slow motion, and so on.
Video playback also needs to be updated. I've never got on with the Real player, video streaming has never worked well, and the handset needs to support more popular video formats, without need for installing extra applications. Native support for DivX and XviD video files is a must, surely?
Memory is also somewhere where Nseries devices can be improved. More Nseries devices need high internal memory capacity as standard, as well as being expandable with Micro SD cards. The N96 and N97 have this, but more Nseries devices should, and I hope to see it when new devices are announced.
And whilst I'm having a bit of a rant, I find it incredible that a multimedia device has no option onboard for creating something as simple as a slideshow. On a Sony Ericsson C905, it is a simple matter to take captured images, link them together, add in some text, add in a soundtrack, play the video, email it off, upload it to the web, anything. Simple, easy. That I can't do this on an Nseries phone is just amazing, honestly.

Skype Integration on the Nokia N97
You can install Skype on many Nseries phones today, but Skype and Nokia have taken it further as they have announced a partnership that will bring Skype to the Nokia range of mobile computers. Under the terms of the cooperation, Skype will be integrated into Nokia devices, starting with Nokia Nseries. The Nokia N97 flagship device will be the first to incorporate the Skype experience in the 3rd quarter of 2009.
The Skype experience will be part of the address book of the Nokia N97, enabling presence - seeing when Skype contacts are online - as well as instant messaging. Nokia N97 owners around the world will also be able to use 3G and WLAN to easily make and receive free Skype-to-Skype voice calls, in addition to low-cost Skype calls to landlines and mobile devices.
"Making Skype available everywhere through mobile devices is essential to fulfilling our vision of 'enabling the world's conversations'," said Scott Durchslag, Skype's Chief Operating Officer. "Collaborating closely with Nokia to preload and integrate our software onto their devices will benefit the many Nokia customers who already use Skype, as it makes Skype easily accessible and simple to use on the go. It will also bring Skype new users who love Nokia's Symbian S60 experience."
"With more than 400 million Skype users worldwide, the integration of Skype on Nokia Nseries mobile computers is a significant step in bringing converged Internet experiences from the desktop to the world's most advanced mobile computer," said Jose-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nokia Nseries.
