Nokia N97Nokia is back with an all new touch - the Nokia N97. To compliment its touch-screen mobile device family, and to challenge the likes of Apple and RIM in the smart phone space, Nokia launched N97 a new touch-screen mobile device in India. The touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, and 32GB storage aren't the only highlights of Nokia N97. The new Nokia phone will come preloaded with Nokia's Ovi Store, a one stop shop for a variety of apps to jazz up a Nokia handset. Nokia's earlier attempt to launch an app store similar to the one Apple boasts about had fallen flat. Consumers complained about not having much choice and the poor download speed. Nokia claims that its new Ovi Store is state of the art destination. It offers a variety of applications all developed with Indian consumers in mind. Nokia users can download almost 50 applications for free and many more apps for a nominal fee. “From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile device in existence. It is an important step towards our vision of delivering a highly personalised Internet experience.” said Nokia India Director-Marketing Vineet Taneja during the launch in New Delhi. Personalize Your Nokia Get complete control over your mobile phone. Nokia N97 allows you to showcase your personality, taste, and preferences right on the homescreen of the phone. You can download your favourite applications from the Ovi Store. Track feeds from your favourite social networks. Have quick access to things that matter to you. High Gear Web Surfing Having internet access in a mobile handset is of no use if the speed is poor. It only leaves you frustrated. Nokia N97 supports fast WLAN and HSDPA connections for making web browsing hassle free. Nokia N97's 3.5 inch 16:9 sliding tilt display supports flash which gives you more power while viewing online videos and photos on the go. The touch-screen and full keyboard of course makes your surfing easier.
Videos, Music, and Photos The 5 megapixel camera may not sound earth shattering by but this is great considering many major smartphones don't offer more than 2-3 megapixel cameras. The 32GB (expandable to 48GB) storage is great too. I am sure in order to compete with other smart phone makers Nokia will offer paid storage at its Ovi Storage. Afterall, the storage needs of us mobile phone users are only increasing. The 3.5 inch screen size is excellent for enjoying an overdose of videos, movies, and games. The best part is that all videos don't have to be download. With the fast internet access, you can stream and watch videos while on the move. The Nokia N97 phone comes preloaded with Guitar Rock Tour game. Expand your Mobile World Ovi Store At the last count Ovi Store shows 551 items. We'll have to see how Nokia fans like Ovi Store this time around. But 551 items offer a decent lot to choose from. One can download ringtones, games, utility applications, social network apps, and more. Maps, Email, Calendar, and More Nokia N97 supports GMail, Ovi Mail, and Mail from Exchange. The full qwerty keyword makes composing emails and chatting very convenient. The Calendar keeps you organized, if you like to be organized. The Maps in Nokia N97 is another feature that deserves applaud. It comes with 3 month's license for Walk and Drive Navigation. The package includes Maps, A-GPS, and multimedia City Guides. The navigation system helps you find your way both for walking and driving. Big Question - When will it be available? The new Nokia N97 will be available for sale in 76 countries in about a week.
