Nokia N97 Mini out and priced

to expensive

@Mel
I don’t know about that… I’ve never considered the iPhone to be superior to Nokia phones. It’s true the iPhone has a lot of apps, but most of the apps are really just games that don’t make the iPhone any “smarter.”

For Nokia devices, especially e-series phones, office applications are bundled (unlike in the iPhone). Moreover, you can install WeFi to work with your Nokia Messaging in order to get push-email-on-wifi. This is how mine is set-up: it gets email every hour for as long as there’s wifi (this means you don’t have to pay). Third party applications that automatically handle calls (can respond to calls like an answering machine or text back if you’re busy) and texts (sets aside texts from different people) are also available for Nokia devices. Another third party application synchronizes your contacts and calendar entries with your Google account. Besides Nokia devices having a good useful set of first-party and third-party applications, Nokia phones also give you more camera megapixels and flash memory for the same price (if it’s not built-in, you can always buy a microSD that can theoretically go up to 64GB).

Point is, the iPhone isn’t necessarily “better” than the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini. It depends on the user which one will be more suitable for him/her.

*Sorry, if it’s anything I hate, it’s how people always overhype the iPhone as the “god” of smart phones… when in fact, there are many things that other smart phones can’t do that the iPhone still can’t.

Actually, so many choices these days when it comes to smartphone,I prefer Samsung Omnia HD (aka i8910) ‘coz wika nga “bigay hilig”. It has 8MP camera, 1280 X 720p video recording, video playback is stunning because of AMOLED screen 16M colors, virtual 5.1 surround & built in 16GB memory. when it comes to OS, i can say not bad at all because it has much improved capacitive touch screen based on symbian S60 5th edition. By the way, built in mobile browser is ok because you can watch youtube video within the browser unlike other mobile browsers. And also, Opera Mobile 10 is working just fine.

What kind of battery life are you guys who already have the N97 mini getting? I keep reading reports of people complaining they can’t even get 12 hours from it, and that’s with just making a couple of short calls and a few texts.

I expected it to be around this price range but considering its big brother has a lower price now, it is quite expensive as you pointed out.

I so much love the iPhone, pang sosyalan hindi pwede daliring malalaki parang construction workers.

Not really a nokia hater coz i used to own N80 but ht iPhone is really damn sexy yet powerful mini computer

Ang mahal pa nung iWannaBeASmartphone eh gawang china lang mga components sa loob.

Pinakintab lang tapos dinikitan ng apple logo. Lol.

well a lot of positive reviews are circulating in the internet about the mini version… feels like an eseries bec of the metal backing and better build… i myself got to try one out here in singapore… i would have bought it but i got the e72 instead coz the only downside of the mini is battery life still a good buy esp now its equipped with kinetic scrolling out of the box… its my xmas phone actually… hahaha

I really liked the design of N97. But what’s the real big difference from mini? except the price and the size?

how much is this? is the price is same in the stores?

i buy this phone yesterday. i encountered some problems that frustrates me.
– weak signal when indoors, sometimes no network coverage at all!
– poor battery life
– the phone becomes so hot when using after a minute

How much is it right now??I heard that it is now only 1 or 2 thousand,is it true????

N97 mini or Xperia 10 mini pro? Which 2 is the best buy? Suggestions?

i got my N97mini last april 2010. on my first month, I got frustrated because it always hang and the battery became so damn hot. but after few more months, my fone suddenly stops getting hot and it rarely hang unlike on my first month.

im satisfied with my phone (n97 mini)
