Nokia N97 mini [Review]
Build quality, sharp, high resolution display, full QWERTY keypad, connectivity options, audio quality, high quality supplied earphones, 8GB built-in memory, good pre-installed apps and widgets
Poor display visibility under sunlight, unimpressive camera performance, resistive touchscreen response not up to the mark, interface design not intuitive, slow scrolling in web browser
Six months ago Nokia launched the N97 smartphone in the market. The phone was touted to be Nokia's best yet and had a huge range of features and an impressive spec sheet that ran into pages. For some reason, however, I never really liked the N97. Sure it was a really feature-rich and powerful device, but it wasn't something that I could imagine using on a day-to-day basis. It felt more like a shrunk down version of a notebook rather than a mobile phone, which kind of overwhelms you every time you use it. The feeling that I got while using the N97 for regular tasks is equivalent to driving the Lamborghini Murcielago with a twin turbo V12 engine to get bread from the shop around the corner.
But now, six months later, Nokia has released the new N97 mini. As the name suggests the N97 mini is the smaller, shrunk version of the standard N97. However, Nokia has made very few sacrifices to the feature list while making the N97 mini, which means you get almost all the features of the N97 but now in a smaller, more likable package. But will it manage to be just as impressive as the standard N97 when it comes to performance, or has it also gone 'mini' on that front? Here is a complete review of Nokia's latest smartphone.

- Stereo Headset (with three set of ear tips)
- USB Data Cable
- Charger Adaptor
- User Manual
- Ovi Suite CD
One of the most impressive things about the N97 mini bundle is the presence of the new high quality in-ear earphones. These are something that even the larger N97 did not have. The headset also has playback controls and volume control embedded in it. However, the TV-Out cable has been removed from the bundle, along with the charger adaptor (which allowed you to use old Nokia chargers with the N97 mini), the cleaning cloth, stylus and carry case. Another important thing is the smaller packaging of the N97 mini, which is roughly half the height of the standard N97 package.
