New phones in Nokia's flagship 'N series' are always much anticipated and the N97 doesn't disappoint. Bringing together a collection of features never before seen on a mobile phone, it basically takes all the features of the N95 and adds a qwerty keyboard and a 3.5-inch touchscreen.
The N97 comes with 32GB of memory as well as a microSD card slot for a total of 48GB which will be the largest available on a mobile phone. It also comes with an FM transmitter so you will be able to listen to your music on your car radio. The camera is similar to the N95 with 5 megapixels, Carl Zeiss optics and an LED flash; in other words solid if not quite as flashy as the Omnia HD and Idou.
How much are these phones going to cost? There is no information on prices yet but they will likely cost upwards of Rs 30,000. However in a year or two prices are bound to come down and you will soon see similar features on cheaper phones. These high-end phones, however, do provide a good picture of what to expect in the next few years.
