I get to the list of specs, here’s some more detail on some headline
specs that Nokia has highlighted. First up is a “Loopt” like concept
called “So-Lo” which is short for “social location”.
Nokia says: “With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic
compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it
is.
“The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks
automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the
ability to update their 'status' and share their 'social location' as
well as related pictures or videos.”
While there’s no
“multi-touch” capability as with the iPhone, Nokia is has still managed
to pack in a 3.5-inch touch-screen 16:9 display that has a resolution
of 640x380.
Nokia says “The home screen of the Nokia N97
mobile computer features the people, content and media that matter the
most. Friends, social networks and news are available by simply
touching the home screen.
“The 16:9 widescreen display can be
fully personalized with frequently updated widgets of favorite web
services and social networking sites. The Nokia N97 is also perfectly
suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games.
“Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensure efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing.”
The
N97 has a whopping 32GB of internal storage, which matches the iPod
Touch and doubles that of the iPhone 3G – surely forcing Apple to
release an iPhone 3.0 in 2009 that has at least 32GB to match the N97,
if not a 64GB option too.
Still, that's not all there is to the N97, for it really is packed with
cool features that will still be cool in six months time when the N97
ships.
