The original N97 debuted last year at an eye-bleeding $1,700 so the N97 mini is a welcome replacement at a significantly reduced $1,149. And it is a replacement because the mini’s dimensions are much more pocket-friendly and its keyboard is in many wa...
The N97 mini might be a cut-down version of the N97, but no way does that deter it from becoming a very good product. Plus, at Rs. 23,300, it is at least Rs. 6,000 cheaper than its bigger brother. Couple that with its very good design and multimedia perfo...

James reviewed the original N97 back in July last year (you can view the review here). It seemed in general to be quite a nice phone, Nokia's best so far. I read a few other reviews of the N97 and I was surprised to see that the opinions were very mix...
Nokia have always produced trustworthy phones in my eyes. Not always the fanciest of handsets but I find that you will rarely have an issue with them. I think that the N97 Mini will fall nicely into this view that I have. It has a sturdy build with wha...

Almost nine months after the launch of its highly anticipated but ultimately disappointing N97 smartphone, Nokia has seen fit to update its arsenal with a miniature version of its flagship consumer device: the Nokia N97 mini. Though the more compact hardware and smoother user experience are welcome improvements, we can't help but feel this is what the original Nokia N97 should have been in the first place.The Nokia N97 mini really is a smaller version of the original N97.

The N97 mini is better than the original, but not so when compared with smartphones from other manufacturers. Its S60 OS helps the mini feel like an old phone even before it hits the stores.

Nokia’s Symbian-driven N97 smart phone came out in the summer to rather mixed reviews, with most people praising its feature count, but finding it a bit of a pain to use. Now comes the N97 Mini, a little (but not a lot) smaller than the original N97, a...

Nokia's popular N97 was recently sent on a diet and fitness program and came back in the lean and mean guise that is the N97 mini. Now measuring 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm, the mini is only somewhat smaller than the N97 (117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm). The same goe...
