(2008-12-30) Nokia N97 Phone

Nokia announced its N97 Mobile phone. Full QWERTY Keyboard. Runs S60.

An early look. We're not quite sure what to make of this phone, to be honest. At first glance this is the exact phone Nokia should be making: a large-screened, high resolution touchscreen device with a megalarge slide-out keyboard and endless storage - it's a fanboy wishlist in so many ways. But the execution on the screen (resistive), keyboard (meh) and software (dated) are all considerable hurdles.
