Nokia N97 is the latest and has taken us not slightly ahead but much Ahead of the last one coming out of its factory. The Landscape oriented handset comes with some good features.

The phone with a 5mp Carl Zeiss camera lense has a DVD quality video feature, has a QWERTY keypad, includes HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, and comes with an always open connection to the bookmarked sites on the internet including Facebook. Aptly called as the mobile computer the handset features the virtual touch input and has a 16:9 widescreen display which can be fully personalized with frequent updates of favorite web services and social networking sites.

Nokia 97 has a capacity to hold breath for a long long time. The battery is capable of 1.5 days of continuous playback. The 32GB on board memory can be extended to 48GB via MicroSD cards. Nokia Music Store with the full support of Nokia N97 does some wonders for us. With the battery capable of 1.5 days of continous playback all the musical ear customers are sure going to make a beeline for it.  Support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN is available from the N97 camp.
The ’social location’ concept of N97 with integrated A-GPS sensors, an electronic compass, intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 is expected to make it by early 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 550(excluding tax and subsidies).
