Tilting touch display, QWERTY keyboard and personalized home screen -
a true mobile computer
Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N97, the world's
most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people
connect to the Internet and to each other. Designed for the needs of
Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5" touch
display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an 'always open'
window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations.
Nokia's flagship Nseries device introduces leading technology -
including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection
speeds - for people to create a personal Internet and share their
'social location.'
"From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97
is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence,"
said Jonas Geust, Vice President, heading Nokia Nseries. "Together
with the Ovi services announced today, the Nokia N97 mobile computer
adjusts to the world around us, helping stay connected to the people
and things that matter most. With the Nokia N97, Nseries leads the
charge in helping to transform the Internet into your Internet".
Sensing your 'So-Lo'
The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of 'social location'. With
integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97
mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97
makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time
information, giving approved friends the ability to update their
'status' and share their 'social location' as well as related
pictures or videos.
Widescreen - Internet and entertainment
The home screen of the Nokia N97 mobile computer features the people,
content and media that matter the most. Friends, social networks and
news are available by simply touching the home screen. The 16:9
widescreen display can be fully personalized with frequently updated
widgets of favorite web services and social networking sites. The
Nokia N97 is also perfectly suited for browsing the web, streaming
Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual
touch input ensure efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending
texts or emailing.
The Nokia N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of
on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music,
media and more. This is complemented by excellent music capabilities,
full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time
of up to 1.5 days. The Nokia N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with
high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture,
and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over
HSDPA and WLAN.
The Nokia N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009
at an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes or subsidies.
