With a 3.5 inch wide screen, 32GB of storage memory, a 5MP camera, sensors for device orientation so it changes the screen to portrait or landscape based on how you are holding the phone, a qwerty keyboard, touchscreen and free placement of widgets which display what you tell them to, a mobile phone from Nokia never had such features. So how did they develop them all to work so beautifully? Hard work and what? Well, Nokia has started several lines of innovative products, looking like prototypes but still hitting the market. Many people thought that Nokia was doing this to look like an innovator, but in fact, it tested how it’s ideas are accepted by people, and improved them into highly dependable solutions before it even thought of introducing those concepts into it’s main product line, the touchscreen was first tested on the Internet tablet.

The widget interface was also a concept only seen on the Internet tablet. People bought these devices and complain about the shortcomings, Nokia fixed them, and created the <Nokia N97. That is why no one is complaining of it. It contains all of Nokia’s experience and knowledge, not only of the company, but of the people who used their phones and products as well. It is not just a matter of throwing money in and getting a perfect product, just look at the Windows HTC mobile phones, 900 euro hardware, only to be disappointed by the software. The N97 features Symbian S60 5th edition, and included applications for messenger integration, a touchscreen controlled, flash supporting, zooming browser for thew web, and the Ovi online application store application, a copy of the iPhone’s iStore concept. The N97 is a way to respond, for you to the world, and for Nokia to itself and the world. It really doesn’t leave much to be added to the hardware, a multi touch screen, real camera flash and HDTV recording and reception, and it will have literally everything you can think of.

I’m playing with Nokia’s new, $699 super smart phone, the N97

I’ll be doing a full review for the paper next week, I believe.

One of the big features of the phone is the 5 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens.

Here’s a shot I took.
