It’s a bit presumptuous to be calling the N97 an ‘iPhone killer’ but it is the first N-series Nokia phone with a proper touchscreen.
A large 3.5in haptic/resistive touchscreen at that, with a nice 640×360 pixel resolution. However, it’s not a full dive into the touchscreen device market for Nokia because the N97 has a full QWERTY keypad under the sliding top half.
The new phone also throws in something Nokia likes to call, ‘social location’, where it combines integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass so that the phone always knows where it is. And, by association, so will you – always handy when you’ve had 6 too many and missed the last bus home. There’s no mention of mobile TV support like the current N96 though.
You’ll also be able to locate your friends and, thanks to a big push on the social networking front, allow you and them to do lots of things interactively on social networking sites like MySpace etc.
