Like the Nokia N97 also speaks to the N97 on a mobile mini computer. The device is designed and fun is somewhat smaller than the N97.

The red and blue phones in the middle of the post are nokia X6. I still don’t understand why Nokia wanted a mini version of N97

Since the start of the recession, pay as you go mobile phones have been very popular. I am hoping Nokia gets wise and start asking it partners to offer the Nokia N97 on the pre-pay plans.

well, the n97 mini is actually a great phone.
On a different review that i’ve read, the writer had mentioned how Nokia actually had made a mistake in naming this phone the n97 mini in which actually killed the n97 mini’s rep the moment it was released.
If nokia had named in the N98 or N99 then maybe it’ll be easier for ppl to accept the phone.
anyways, n97 mini is what the n97 was suppose to be. Great phone.

Hmmm, I don’t know people, but I am very dissapointed with Nokia N97 mini. I am lucky that I am able to return this phone in shop and take some other phone, but after N97 mini adventure, I am sure it will not be Nokia. Also now I understand why Nokia lose so rapid market share. Software on DVD, so slow, updates for PC so slow, opening internet site on N97 mini so slow, phone is not something what you need to buy at all. So from 1-10 (ten biggest and best), I will give Nokia “big” 2.

I hear about many ppl that n97 mini is not so good. I ordered it but will now cancel the order and go for the e72. Im still fan of nokia, but not every phone is good, same goes for every brand. All have good and shitty phones.

The n97 mini is a great phone if you don’t need to turn it off. I have had two in 3 weeks. Both had the same fault. When you turn it off it will not turn back on. Other than this it is a great phone and maybe even up with the Iphone. The App store is cheaper than the Apple one and with new apps every day its catching up with the Apple app store.
But I have now sent my second n97 mini back and have bought an iphone. I recommend that you DO NOT buy this phone if you want to turn it off, lol.
