Pros:

1. Great design – always dreamed of a QWERTY keyboard equipped Nseries devices. Add a touch screen in the equation made things even better.

2. Very good camera – the competition has phones like the HTC Touch Pro and some other screens on their mobile devices with the same design. The camera takes the N97 leaves the competition far behind thanks to its Carl Zeiss optics.

3. Customizable home screen – at this moment I have my 4 main contacts, 8 major applications, calendar and current information on weather in the main screen of my N97. All this is easily accessible with a single click on the screen.

4. Multimedia – Nseries has always been strong in the areas of multimedia. At Apple are proud that the iPhone 3GS can record 640 × 480 videos at 30 fps, the Nseries devices can do that for over 3 years, started elNokia N93.

5. Good selection of pre-installed applications – virtually everything they need comes pre-installed with the device, including QuickOffice, Nokia Maps and so on. Some things are hidden, that is on the list of cons.

Cons:

1. Keyboard, probably you’ve heard before, but, unfortunately, bears repeating. The keyboard is awful, and not just because the decimal point and share the same key, is also the fact that the shift is located on the same side (left) the D-pad, making the text selection is quite difficult. Do not understand why devices like the E75 worst have better keyboards.

2. House – as you can see this is all in my pros and cons. I’m not mistaken, I think 5 megapixels is enough. But when you think about it, the N95 was deNokia badge in 2007 and had a camera with the same megapixels.

3. Slowness – CPU can not handle the job properly. Actually, I’m not sure if it’s a matter of lack of CPU or RAM (128 MB of RAM is the N97), but some things must change.

4. UI / Symbian, though I like the main screen, UI is anything but intuitive. They are the little things that annoy me. For some things a single click on the icon is sufficient whereas for some other need two clicks. Also, when I connect over the WiFi network, I do not want to be asked about which network to use.

5. Ovi Store – this is not exactly anything bad about the N97, but connected and wired. For one thing, when I want to customize the homescreen and I click on “Download Content”, Ovi Store should show only the applications that come on the homescreen widget. Moreover, the application of meteorological information should come pre-installed, this, Lomen, do not come pre-installed on the N97 I have.

This is a personal opinion, of course. Some will agree on some things and not others, like me.
