Nokia have announced the N97 with a 3.5" display combined with a QWERTY keyboard. Built on the S60 5th Edition platform and Symbian operating system, the TFT colour display offers an ultra resistant touch screen with 640 x 360 pixels resolution.

The large touchscreen display makes web browsing a very easy task to use whenever you need to. The keyboard is an essential combination with the web browsing and makes the whole experience very laptop like. The Nokia N97's widescreen display is great for watching videos and an added bonus is you can use the TV output to view everything on your home television directly from your mobile phone.

Nokia's new revolution in touch screen technology competes closely with Apple's iPhone. The new Nokia interface is very easy to use and has small desktop icons showing in the original windows display, this makes the user's experience very similar to that on a PC. One good example is that logging onto Facebook is as simple as touching the Facebook icon on the main screen.

Compiling a music collection on the Nokia N97 is another benefit you can enjoy due to the massive internal memory of 32 GB which will hold thousands of songs. Storing videos, photos or any other files are no longer an issue as a result of insufficient phone memory. With this mobile phone there really is no need to carry a usb stick, an mp3 player or even a laptop anymore.
