Our Nokia N97 Review

Landscape view of Nokia N97 White

If you are looking for a phone that does virtually everything you could ask of it, then the N97 will certainly be near the top of your list.

This neat smartphone might look like any other phone, but it packs a punch once you start to become familiar with it. The huge 3.5 inch touch screen takes up most of the front of the Nokia N97, but you’ll find a full QWERTY keyboard tucked away ready and waiting to be used too.

Needless to say the N97 gives you full internet access, so you can always be in touch with the people who matter most via email and text messages. And if anyone should send you an attachment via email, you’ll be able to access that too thanks to the Nokia N97 mobile phone’s extensive capabilities.

It also has an on board 5.0 mega pixel camera to keep you busy, and with 32gb of internal memory you won’t run out of space any time soon. Even when you do get low on memory you can use the MicroSD card slot to expand it again.

With the touch control ability to browse any web page you like, it is clear that the Nokia N97 is designed for business people as well as those who are constantly online. And if you would rather personalise your new mobile phone, instead of leaving it exactly as it is, you can go online and download plenty of items to help you do just that.

You’ve also got a GPS navigation system on board, so if you have just got an email requesting an urgent meeting somewhere you aren’t familiar with, your phone will get you out of trouble straightaway. In short, there are so many features and benefits packed into this phone that it might take a while to get used to them all. It’s guaranteed to be a great experience though.

Mix and Match Plans

A price plan which gives you flexibility, Mix and Match doesn't tie you a set number of texts and set number of minutes each month. With Mix & Match, you receive a monthly allowance, which you are free to use for texts, minutes or any combination of the two. This is ideal if you find your minutes and text usage fluctuates month by month causing you to exceed either your monthly text or minutes allowance. Mix & Match has been made simple, since 1 minute = 1 text, so you never need to choose between the two.
