Nokia N97 hands-on and impressions

by Darren Murph Jun 3rd 2009 @ 4:41PM

We're not quite sure what levers they pulled, but our compadres over at Engadget Spanish have managed to wrangle a retail N97 out of Nokia's tightly-clasped hands, and naturally, they've done us the honors of photographing it. We're hoping to snag a unit of our own soon, but 'til then, tap the read link for lots more shots and even a video. Yes, a video. Welcome to the internet.

Hi there

I've also had an opportunity to test a N97 and you're welcome to use what I've posted at http://bit.ly/Pjeaf. It is a first impressions post but I have posted a couple thoughts about the device as well as some media I shot using the phone. There are the obligatory photos of the phone comparing it to my own phone, a Nokia E71.

It is a great phone and there are a number of people here in South Africa who are very excited about it. My blog was one of 4 blogs that participated in the Search for N competition culminating in us awarding 10 N97s to 10 lucky South Africans. The competition generated a tremendous amount of buzz about the N97.
