Is the N97 the perfect phone?
As an E-series user (I own an E71 and have also used an E63 for a month), I am really happy with the features, such as the QWERTY keyboard, e-mail app, WLAN, Quickoffice, sleek and elegant design, as well as being able to install many different apps which would make it a fantastic device. However, I was dissapointed by some other features such as the Media gallery, the purple pictures that the camera takes and the lack of N-Gage support, all in all, it’s the lack of multimedia features which N-series have to spare.
So now comes the N97, with features that both E-series and N-series devices would envy, it is the perfect son of the marriage between the E71 and the N96. N-series with a QWERTY keyboard sounds great! Being able to send e-mails, surf through the web and use widgets to check on your Facebook account, Twitter or favorite RSS feeds with a big touchscreen is just what I want!
Or how about taking high quality pictures, watching movies and YouTube videos and playing N-Gage games optimized for touchscreens; this is what Nokia claims to be offering with this device. Being able to install apps such as Quickoffice, Mobbler, Internet Radio, location-based services and other office apps would make any E-series user really happy.
As I have read in many blogs, Why can’t E-series users have Multimedia features and high-quality cameras? Why can’t N-series users have office apps, QWERTY keyboards and e-mail apps? If Nokia hits the spot with this device, many people will be happy and we will have the best Nokia handset ever made.

Hey guys, don’t call me a trader but I am now interested in getting the Pharos Traveler 137 smartphone. I really like the N97′s specs but the Pharos 137 will be released sooner stateside(March 2009) and is slimmer than the N97. The N97 is a better phone since it has a 5mp camera and flash vs. 137′s 3mg camera sans flash. Another downfall to the Pharos phone is that it is only compatible with T Mobile’s 3g network.
Does anyone know about T Mobile’s service, 3g coverage, and rate plans? Also, the Pharos will only run $600 unlocked.
Hello Shelley,
Don’t worry, we won’t call you a trader. Hope that you enjoy the Pharos Traveler 137. I liked the Design and features of this device, however, I think that I will wait for the N97. I just bought an E71 about 3 months ago, so I’m not in a hurry to have a new phone.. I’ll ask the other guys if they know anything about T-mobile.
You are so sweet. Thanks!!! What do you think about the hype surrounding the Palm Pre- this phone has a lot riding on it since it’s both Sprint’s and Palm’s “Hail Mary”? Also, I thought there would be alot more cool new phone announcements at CES 2009. I will now look forward to the upcoming MWC(Mobile World Conference) in Feb 09. Oh my God! I’m obsessed with these gadgets…It all started when I discovered the LG Vu in the Spring of 2008. And like the next day I uncovered “press releases” about the HTC Diamond.
I got the Diamond but the screen was tiny and WinMo was clumsy to operate. So I traded up to the Samsung Eternity in which I like alot. Now I want a larger screen with VGA resolution, 5mg camera……The N97 is the right phone for me but I’m now hooked on the Pharos 137. I Just wish the US compatible N97 would ship sooner!!!!
not bad
