The most exciting part about this device is that, for the first time, it introduces the concept of ‘social location’, i.e. A-GPS sensors and the electronic compass allows the user to locate oneself anywhere in the world. Nokia N97 gives the oppertunity to fully personalise the wide screen touch display with anything you want. Be it updates from your favourite website, your social network, or whatever it may be.

    very sleek design of nokia but a better version. the gps sensors is a great quality of this phone which will enhance it features and interest more customers to purchase it with a minor drawback of its price. but regardless of its price, its a steal.
