Nokia N97 Mini

The Nokia N97 Mini is a tilt/slider style cell phone offered by Nokia based on the larger Nokia N97. It features a 3.2" touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard which is exposed using a similar tilt display as seen in the N97. It features updated homescreen widegets and several other usability improvements such as a customizable homescreen and the ability to update your Facebook status directly from the homescreen. It works seamlessly with the Ovi Store giving users the ability to add new applications, widgets, ringtones and other content. There is also an integrated A-GPS with Ovi Maps and over 155,000 POIs through Lonely Planet guides and restaurants through Michelin Guides. It has high speed 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity with the ability to browse your favorite web content on the 16:9 screen directly from your homscreen. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and uses the PC compatible Nokia Music Manager for easy file management. You can store up to 1700 tracks using the internal 8 GB of internam memory.  The built in 5-megapixel camera has a Carl Zeiss optical lens and dual LED flash, and is capable of recording 8 hours of high-quality video to internam memory or up to 30 hours on an external microSD card.
