A few weeks ago, David Gilson wrote up his thoughts on the N97 classic. While there was an awful lot to like about it, he found it to be undermined by an unstable OS, due to insufficient RAM & C: drive space. He was also curious to see if the N97 mini was really everything the N97 classic could have been...

The Nokia N97 mini is another solid device for Symbian fans, but it's not going to convince other platforms' faithful to switch. It's slightly smaller than the original N97 ($599.00 direct, N/R), and it includes minor UI improvements such as extra h...
Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the N97. Powerful camera and multimedia performance. Free Ovi Maps GPS navigation.
Slow. Buggy. Mediocre keyboard.
The Nokia N97 mini is an improvement over the original N97, and the free Ovi Maps GPS app rocks. But there's still not enough here to pull U.S. buyers away from other smart devices...

After the disappointment that was the Nokia N97, the N97 mini looked like a strange possibility. It is after all a “cut-down” version of the N97 with a smaller screen, smaller dimensions and lesser internal storage among others. However, the mini comes...

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 p...

The Nokia N97 mini is the second coming of the Nokia N97. While many of the its features and specifications are similar, the biggest change is in the name: Mini. It's smaller. But despite the more pocket friendly design and some ironed-out bugs, the p...

From its rather sluggish performance to its gimmicky widget homescreen, the N97 mini isn't much of an improvement over the N97 - nor is it a very exciting device. Its smaller form factor is appreciated, but the operating system is lackluster and aging...

The N97 has been a much-talked about device since its inception; braving constant comparisons with its flashier and more fashionable counterparts like iPhone, HTC Hero and the likes. The N97 mini is Nokia's attempt at making its flagship model more acc...
Other than those changes, it should be a smooth transition for a N97 user to the mini. In fact, users familiar with the older editions of Symbian S60 will be able to use the phone with relative ease. Many things will look familiar, including the same o...
