Nokia N97 - A cell phone which can created hurdle for iphone market

Review of Nokia N97 cell phone

Nokia is always a trusted brand and the durability, battery life, network catching capacity is not comparable with any other phone. The launch of iphone is appearing to be a big setback for the mobile market, but Nokia with its model N97 can create a big hurdle for iphone market. Its button is supposed to be minimum in comparison to HTC and blackberry with a highly sensitive touch screen. The screen is bigger and all features of an iphone is expected to be present. Its proximity sensor for auto turn-off can make it more useful in long journey where there is no facility to recharge.

The complete review will be posted once it is launched in Indian market but it is expected to serve as a palmtop.
