Nokia N97 mobile phone review

We grill Nokia's long awaited handset

7/10

Utterly disappointed!
I bought this outright and tried very hard to make it work for me but it just doesn’t work how it should. I have owned Nokia’s for 12 years and this was the phone I thought would really give the iPhone a run for its money. However it falls short on many accounts. Bugs! Lots of bugs! Its slow, the toggle switch doesn’t always turn on and off the screen. The touch doesn’t allow multi touch which means its much slower to zoom in and out on photos, websites, etc.
Nokia need to clean up their act with the phone’s software and PC software if they are going to get anywhere near the iPhone quality. I bought an iPhone 1 week ago after I sent my N97 back (Bluetooth didn’t work) and it just works so well. Everything is clear and easy to use. HTML email!!! Nokia doesn’t even come close to the iPhone email.
Very disappointing Nokia, hopefully you will win me back one day but it looks to be a long way off.
