Nokia N97 Mini Review: A Compact Smartphone Loaded With Applications
24.03.10

Nokia had managed to turn quite a few heads around in December 2008 with its Nokia N97 phone. Amidst the churning of rumor mills we then saw the company launching a sibling to the handset in the form of the Nokia N97 Mini around October 2009. Were mobile enthusiasts pleased? Well, they seemed like, a minor strip down of the original slide-out phone minus its ‘bulkiness’ sure seemed enticing. And that’s exactly what we got our hands on lately, the Nokia N97 Mini, all geared up to show us what its all about.
With two siblings around, comparisons are bound to happen. So for those who are wondering, just replace the original phone with an 8GB storage memory, a 3.2” touchscreen and a seemingly shorter battery life with a few more tweaks here and there and voila the compact Mini is what you get! Well, the younger sibling though is not a complete downsized version. Much unlike popular belief, besides being obviously more compact in terms of form factor, the phone certainly creates its own distinct identity.
