Over the past few years Nokia became the leader on the mobile phone market. Thankfully for its innovative designs and feature rich products it is one of the most desirable mobile brands.
One of the flagship models in the multimedia N series is the N97. The N series were designed to be a multimedia accessory capable for music and video playback with a superior camera. Over the few new series the N design became richer with a GPS capability and today it represents complete multimedia solutions for both younger and business users.
For those of who are eagerly awaiting the release of perhaps the most hotly anticipated mobile phone of the year, news has reached TSF that N97 will be with us very shortly indeed. As proof, Nokia have posted a video over at Nokia Conversations of workers at their factory in Finland assembling and preparing the phones for dispatch.
Nokia are said to expect around 10million of these phones to be sold. When talking to Bloomberg, Nokia’s VP Jonas Geust said that the N97 “should not be a niche product, and comprising the best elements of touchscreen and QWERTY it looks sure to be a success. It will have some touch competition however with the impending release of the Palm Pre and the rumoured updated iPhone.
Some of you might know that this week saw the launch of Nokia’s new and eagerly awaited online software application store entitled Ovi, which my very good Finnish tells me is indeed Finnish for ‘door’. Obviously the intention of this new venture is to rival that of the iPhone app store, but do Nokia have a case?
Just a quick heads up to let you all know that you could be up for a chance of winning a brand spanking new Nokia N97. This is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated phone of the year so to win one would be absolutely amazing.
To be in with chance all you have to do is go to Dial-a-Phone and register to recieve news on upcoming models, then you’re name will be entered into the draw. Good luck to you all!
If you are a fan of touchscreen mobile phone technology or indeed just mobile phones in general then you will probably be aware of the imminent arrival of Nokia’s all singing, all dancing and very much eagerly anticipated N97. If you read the post about Nokia’s recent QWERTY/Touchscreen poll then you will probably understand exactly why many people cannot wait for this to hit the stores. If you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last few months or just want tease yourself a little more then we suggest you watch this video!
With all the extensive and wonderful yet sometimes confusing array of features and functions that can be found on today’s smartphones, it’s difficult to know what exactly works best. For some of us, certain functions may take precedence or importance over others, it’s all very much a matter of personal opinions and requirements. Some of us for example may be of the opinion that having a QWERTY keyboard is of greater importance than having a touchscreen, whilst some of us may feel that the original numeric keyboard is better still, whilst others may think that voice command is their ideal phone feature.
The common thread that links all of the aforementioned features together is data input methods or interfaces. Your preference of course could depend on many things, such as whether you as a user are predominantly a texter, or a caller or whether you simply don’t have the use of your digits all or most of the time. What is my point? Read on.
Have Nokia missed the boat? After all, touchscreen mobile phones have been released by just about everybody at this stage, so surely Nokia’s late initial entry into the market will have to be a bit special to grab people’s attention. Of course, there’s no way Nokia is too late, as there are many potential touchscreen phone users waiting only for their device before taking the plunge! But is it special enough to steal some customers away from Samsung, LG and perhaps even Apple in addition to the Nokia die-hards who will buy it anyway? Let’s take a closer look and see exactly why this could be the case!
