The games and the apps available in the Nokia Ovi Store are proving ever popular, with increasing numbers of apps being downloaded onto handsets on a daily basis.
Last month, there were about 1.5 million daily downloads of apps from the Store – and downloads have now hit 1.6 million per day.
The Ovi Store has a global reach, which undoubtedly helps to keep the numbers high. And apps can be downloaded onto more than 100 mobile phones includi...

Nokia N97 Mini deals on contract
Mini-Me versions are not new in the mobile phone community minimizing features of high end handsets successful in upscale markets. The objective has always been to bring the price down to a wider market. With the continuing success of the upscale Nokia N97, it is not surprising that Nokia would come out with a minimized version. And the Nokia N97 Mini is precisely that.
Dressing Down a Market Leader
Nokia’s flagship N97 gets minimized on the Mini which gets a smaller 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm QWERTY slider touchscreen body and 12g lighter at 138g. This gives the Mini better appeal to many who like the N97 features but not its intolerably bulky body. It also comes in various color schemes – gold, cherry black, garnet and white.
A smaller body means a smaller screen at 3.2 inches from the N97’s 3.5 inches. You still get the same resistive touchscreen technology and half-VGA resolution with 16 million colors. It still comes with a gravity accelerometer for auto rotate viewing convenience and a proximity sensor for auto turn off of its touchscreen sensitivity in a call.

The N97’s cosmetic downsizing also comes with a reduction in battery life and internal memory. You now get 8 GB down form the 32 GB on the N97 with the same 128 MB RAM. Not bad when you still enjoy microSD expandability for up to 32 GB. The slimmer 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery means a shorter life 2 hours short of the 9-hour talk time on the N97.
Its downsizing is not so significant when you consider it’s also cheaper by about €100. Apart from the differences, the Nokia N97 Mini is essentially an N97 in a smaller body. It has the same ARM 11 processor clocked at 434 MHz running the same Symbian S60 5.0 platform.
The Mini remains the same quad band GSM on 2 with class 32 GPRS/EDGE data speeds and is also a tri band UMTS with HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps on 3G. You also get hotspot support with its WiFi 802.11b/g with UPnP technology as well as Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and microUSB 2.0 for local high speed data transfers.
You get the same 5 megapixel autofocus snapper with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and video light for a VGS video rescoring at 30fps. On hand is the same geo tagging facility from its GPS receiver with A-GPS support, a digital compass and Nokia Maps.
There’s the same set of media players supporting the same audio and video codecs with TV video out, stereo FM with RDS, a 3.5mm headphone jack and A2DP wireless stereo listening.

Released only shortly after the Nokia N97, the Nokia N97 Mini is everything its big brother should have been.

Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has just announced that the Nokia N97 Mini handset could be reaching shelves as soon as this week. The N97 Mini is a cut down, slimmer version of the popular high end N97, which we figure you more or less got from the name. What we love about the N97 Mini is that it has the same functions as its bulkier big brother, just in a smaller, slicker body. Some of the specs you can expect to see in the Nokia N97 Mini in...

Vodafone has just started offering the Nokia N97 Mini up for pre order, before it is due to launch later in the month. As some of you may remember, it recently looked for a time as though the Orange network was offering the mobile phone for pre order, however it was then confirmed that it was all just a big mistake that Nokia had not given authorisation for, and it got shut down. However it appears that we now have a real pre order open to ...
