Nokia today launched its N97 flagship phone, an advanced smartphone with a 3.5-inch touch display and full QWERTY keyboard, providing an 'always open' window to favorite social networking sites.
The N97 introduces the concept of 'social location.' With built-in A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, it can automatically update social networks with real-time information, for updates on their status and share their social location.The 16:9 widescreen display can be personalized with frequently updated widgets, suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensure convenient blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing. The N97 supports up to 48GB of storage, including 32GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16GB microSD card for music, media and more. It comes with excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The N97 also has a 5.0-megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN. Nokia continues to lead the global market for smartphones, but it has lost significant share to Apple's iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry. "From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence," said Jonas Geust, Vice President of Nokia. "With the Nokia N97, Nseries leads the charge in helping to transform the Internet into your Internet." The Nokia N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009 at an estimated retail price of $700 before taxes or subsidies. - Nokia N97 Specs
