Nokia N97 Mini Review - read honest Nokia N97 Mini reviews

I just bought the N97 mini this week (ie Nov 11) and it has a lots more features than my previous N95. I am also currently using HTC Tytn II and Blackberry Bold. It is more of fun phone for me. What I like about it: 1] the Garmin GPS acquire the satellite signals almost as fast as my GPS device 2] It boots up faster than the Tytn II (but is slower than the Blackberry) 3] It is kind of cute and fits nicely in my hand 4] the OVI allows direct updating of latest software (but not sure if it actually works since all the softwares are up todate) 5] the build seems solid and does not have any creaking sound when I squeezed it 6] the slide is smooth and firm 7] the speakers are as good as the N95 What I don't like: 1] the touch screen is not very sensitive 2] when I touched an icon, sometimes another icon was highlighted (hopefully the next firmware update will resolve this) 3] the stylus is not practical - too thick and short 4] it attracts finger prints like a magnet 5] I can't surf on the WLAN if I turn off the phone connection (would appreciate any advice here) 6] the battery only last 7 hrs when I use the GPS for 45 minutes and surf the net for less than 2 hours (the N95 and Blackberry easily last 3 - 4 days) 7] have to open the battery cover to access the SDHC card and sim card (unlike the Tytn II) 8] camera lens is not protected (unlike its bigger brother) 9] pouch and SDHC card not included in the package In Malaysia, the mini is more expensive than its bigger brother.

had one delivered the day after release, useless, had a brand new sim card, brand new 8gb memory card too, i had nothing saved to the phone eg phone numbers,texts,music or pics yet everytime i tried to go through the phone i got a message saying memory full ! had no applications running at all so how can this be !! i read reports of people having to juggle things between storage places like c drive,e drive etc.. who wants a phone where you have to keep moving files? nokia still yet to find a model that will be as succesful as n95 looked forward to the mini as it seemed to have everything and had to send it back within a day or 2, i'l be waiting for another model to tempt me the mini has left a sour taste in my mouth

Amazing Phone! Yet I am currently on my second which has just died before my eyes. First one was slow, got on a sunday kept coming up with memory full yet had nothing on it which was not understandable. however, by the tuesday this died, it froze and cudnt do much, went back to Vodaphone and got a new one. now this one was much faster and nothing wrong with memory however as i have just gone to text it is like it has switched off, i have tried turning it on, tried taking the battery out and tried charging it... i will be taking it back tomorrow. not sure whether to get another.

I am only able to imagine if N97 mini is "good" compering to N97, how bad is than N97. I am not satisfied at all with this phone. Software is not quiet good, too slow, download from Nokia server too slow, so many different functions for shops like buy this, buy that, I mean if someone want to go in shoping, of course it will not be that much stupid to buy via mobile phone. Alone phone is not practical, battery is not that good like it writes and etc.
