The Nokia Human Research Department has been experimenting with the Nokia N97, and Experiment #097 saw the birth of the Nokia N97 mini. So let’s take a look and see how the mini differs from its original design and what effects these changes have on the overall experience of using the handset. The first thing you will notice when you pick up the Nokia N97 mini is its size. At 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm, the device fits perfectly in the hands, more so than the Nokia N97. The metallic back cover gives the device a very solid feel with no cracks or creaks at all, bringing this N-Series newbie even closer to the solidity of the E-Series range.
Phone Arena reviews the Nokia N97 mini. It is a more compact alternative to the N97. As a whole, the device is the same (you still get the tilting mechanism of the display), only a bit smaller. There are some cosmetic changes to the design though, with the most significant one seemingly being the lack of both a D-pad on the keyboard and a sliding camera cover.
This post was written, tagged and edited, entirely on the Nokia N97 using Opera Mobile 10 beta, to simply demonstrate the power of this superb web browser. The image was also inserted via Share on Ovi using the mobile browser. Opera Mobile 10 is what Nokia need to look at when optimising the S60 browser. It would be great to have such a powerful browser pre-installed on all Nokia handsets. Check out my thoughts after the jump…
This video recording demo shows how the Nokia N900 doesn’t dynamically re-focus during video capture, and instead uses a standard focus setting. It continues to record at the first focus it obtains, however having the ability to set an initial focus is in itself an improvement compared to other N-Series devices.
Check out this great video previewing the Nokia N900, which packs a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 600MHz processor, up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. The result is PC-like multitasking, allowing many applications to run simultaneously with ease. Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through the active dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications. Check out the video after the break…
