Need to fill your boots on the Nokia N97's specs? Then look no further as we've gathered everything we've got right here. Run your finger down the screen as this lot is quite tasty. Behind the 3.5-inch touchscreen sits a bunch of hot tech that'll ensure this little puppy performs better than anything you've ever seen, or used before. The 150g weight isn't bad either and it feels only marginally bigger than an N95 (though is much slimmer).
We had a fettle with one earlier and it feels soooo good in the hand. There's still a bit of work to do on it, but it's already very plush, with a solid feel in the hand and almost perfect action around the hinge area - the start of the movement is still a little harsh, but it sounds like there might still be a bit of tweaking to go on there. Round the back the camera has a cover to keep the lens fresh (cue more lovely gliding action) and it looks (and feels) a bit like the N85.
The footprint isn't bad, considering what you've got in the hand here. Much neater than a Communicator, though bigger than what we're mostly used to, it's still very usable in the hand. Now, for the hard core, we have a little treat. Feast your eyes boys...
