I was checking out the N97 earlier on Youtube. I found myself clicking from video to video, their related video's feature is a killer. An hour later, I was still glued to my screen, in a trance, dreaming of owning the N97. The quality of the video's varies a lot and lots of the stuff is just repeated, so I've picked out my favorite 10. There's still a lot I've not watched yet. These video's are enough to tempt any tech junkie, the past hour has made me even more impatient.

A very happy Easter from all of us at N97 geeks. Here's an N97 video I've just stumbled across on youtube. In this video, from Techiediva, Eliane Fiolet talks to Daniel Arroyo from Nokia about the upcoming Nokia N97. The demo is almost 6 minutes long and mainly demo's the N97s, social media features as well as a glimpse of the video recording abilities. I'm a big Facebook user, so was particularly excited to watch the Facebook demo. I love the idea of realtime updates on the homepage. The Facebook app looks just as functional as the iPhone version, which is particularly cool! The video quality looks pretty good, and is apparently DVD quality. But the overhead light was reflecting too badly on the screen to be able to get a proper look, though I loved the fact it had full screen playback. |

 Following on from our N97 vs iPhone comparison, it's now time to put the N97 up to the Xperia X1. Once again we'll state before the comparison that we don't yet have an N97 to do a full comparison but we can compare specs. Both the N97 and the Xperia look the part, both featuring a touch screen as well as a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The N97 run on Symbian S60v5, whereas the Xperia runs on Microsoft Windows mobile 6.1. Personally I've never been a fan or had much luck with Windows mobile devices, I've owned several and always sworn it would be my last but 6.1 apparently has been much improved over previous version, it's said to be more stable and feature rich. It would be interesting to hear from some X1 users. | | Nokia N97 | Xperia X1 | | Air Interface | GSM/HSDPA | GSM/UMT/HSDPA | | Band | Quad | Quad | | Dimensions | 55 x 117 x 16 mm | 53 x 111 x 17 mm
| | Onboard Storage | 32GB | 512MB with 400MB free | | Memory Card | Up to 32GB | Up to 32GB | | Text Input | Resistive Touch screen with full QWERTY | Resistive Touch screen with full QWERTY | | Screen Size | 3.5" | 3.8" with 800px x 480px | | Weight | 150g | 158 g
| | Talk Time | Up to 6 hours | Up to 10 hours
| | Standby Time | Up to 430 hours | Up to 833 hours | | Camera | 5mp with auto focus and duel LED flash | 3.15mp, autofocus and flash
| | Video Recording | VGA at 30fps | VGA at 30fps | | Push email | Yes | Yes | | GPS | Assisted GPS with Nokia Maps | Assisted GPS | | Bluetooth | Yes v2.0 with A2DP | Yes v2.0 with A2DP | Once again the Nokia N97 excels in the same areas:5mp Camera and it's monster 32GB onboard storage. Nokia really pushed the boundaries with the onboard storage, doubling even the largest iPhone currently available. The Xperia though, has a slightly bigger and higher resolution screen. Something else notable about the Xperia is the battery life, both standby and talk time are almost double the N97, though it is particularly good and beats most competitors in this area. Both phones are quite similar in size and shape and both particularly stylish, you'd not be shy pulling either out of your pocket in the pub. Though personally, the N97 has the slight edge for me. |

 I see this question getting thrown around an awful lot. The N97 is stirring up quite a hype, so its only natural that people will ask "How much?" The truth is, we honestly don't know. At least not until it hits our stores or Nokia announces a price. This however has not stopped bloggers from speculating. I've spent quite a bit of time trawling through blogs and found lots of different price points from various sources, though one thing they all had in common was they are all expecting the N97 to be expensive. My guess is that the N97 is going to cost roughly £500 - £600 sim free. If this number makes you cry, then remember getting it on contract is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper. A spokesman from a major UK operator was quoted saying "It’s definitely true that the N97 is not as expensive as it was initially. But it was eye watering before. It’s still going to be difficult to get a decent price" This still doesn't give us much to go on and we still have no price point for the N97 on contract. It's going to vary from operator to operator and as usual, the larger the monthly package, the cheaper the phone and cheaper still if you take out a 24 month contract vs a 12. I bet you'll be able to pick it up on an 18 month contract with £35+ tariff for under £100. Though keep in mind it's going to be in high demand and there are going to be enough people, who are likely pay whatever the stores are asking. This will make it more difficult to get a bargain but give it a couple of months and you'll be able to pick one up for free, as usually is the case. |
