Nokia today unveiled the N97 phone in Bangalore; the latest addition to Nokia’s popular N-series lineup. At the press conference today addressed by Regional General Manager-South, Nokia India, TS Sridhar and Head of Design, Nokia N-series, Axel Meyer, the focus was on the new Nokia’s ‘personalized home screen.’ This essentially means that users can choose from a number of widgets that will rest on the home screen and keep users updated thanks to constant online feeds.
Another feature highlighted during the press conference was the N97’s integration with the Ovi Store, Nokia’s answer to Apple’s app store, and according to a press release, “a full catalog of applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, and web and location-based services.” Also, Nokia claims that the N97 will be optimized for social networking since Facebook, Twitter and MySpace widgets are also available.
Features of the phone include a 3.5-inch screen that supports 16:9 widescreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, 32GB of in-built storage, expandable to 48GB. Nokia claims that the phone boasts of a battery life of 1.5 days during constant music playback. The imaging features include a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a dual LED flash. Plus the phone is 3G ready and supports HSDPA and Wi-Fi.
Although Nokia was unwilling to give us the exact pricing, we did manage to get a Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000 estimate. Expect this new Nokia in stores within two weeks.
