The Nokia N97

If ever the Google G1 Phone and the iPhone were to have a love child, this would be the Nokia N97. The Nokia N97, according to Cell Phone Reviews, is Nokia's latest attempt at a touchscreen phone but with the added bonus of a physical QWERTY keypad.

Looking over at Cell Phone Review's Nokia N97 Review, reveals that this device has a large 3.5 inch screen with only one physical button on front. The slide out keyboard has only minimal buttons but is evenly spaced so I'm sure that a lot of people with large fingers (myself included) won't have any problems typing on this device. It also has everything that the iPhone 3G has to offer plus more like WiFi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, and the extra features include TV out and a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera.

Not bad and I'm glad that Nokia was able to make the Nokia N97 thinner compared with the HTC Touch Pro. The Nokia N97 is expected to be released early in 2009 so let the waiting begin.
