Nokia N97 mobile phone - First Look review

Comments

• "However it does take some time to get used to it, especially when the spacebar is to the right of the keyboard rather than in the centre."
  Takes me back to the good old days of the ZX Spectrum and its BRK/SPC key Posted by Gerard, UK
• Bulky? Really, I'd be hard pushed to find something with touchscreen and full QWERTY that was smaller. Space bar could be good for right handers, not sure about direction pad location though. Posted by Brian Tracy, UK
• I don't like the idea of the slide out keyboard, if it is truely touchscreen then a keyboard is saying, 'I know it's scarey, heres a crutch!' The keyboard whilst useful probably doubles (or more) the depth of the phone. 5mp camera is not that impressive, they have just released an 8mp phone camera (N86?). Screen size is not impressive either, 640x280 is pretty small compared to rivals (HTC Touch HD is 800x420). The thing that will swing it one way or the other is the OS. It's symbian v Windows Mobile time! Ding ding round one! Posted by Tony Hedges, UK
