Nokia N97 mini User Reviews

Upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Y to this, which I found in the back of our cupboard. Battery was literally bloated to the point that the back cover wouldn't go on, but bought a new one for next to nothing and is OK, Buy it now!

Remember all this here is comparative to 2015 standards, not to the 00's when it came out. Still the most high-end phone I've ever had though :)

This mobile was the first mobile i had it... Its was The Father Of multimedia.. All The Apps We are having today in Andriod Were Present In this MOB from Start.... Yar even it is better than iphone 5.... Only its touch was a bit a problem but rest of it was awesome... even Samsung galaxy s2 freezes but this phone didnt freezed to me even with heavier load than s2

The Nokia N97 Mini has a solid build, many good features and a very good camera.
It's the everday usage like the internet, UI speed and freezing that poses an annoyance to this phone.
The N97 Mini is nice smartphone, but too many shortcomings to really recommend this device. After 15 months as my primary phone, I've moved on to a Nokia N8 and what a HUGE difference in performance.

Freezes, crashes, doesn't receive calls! Yes! it sometimes diverts calls to voicemail even when on.

This cell may look beautiful, slick and sexy but is completely useless for a power user the hardware cant handle the software demands even the kinetic scrolling is jumpy when the cell has been idle for a few minutes. The battery is appauling and navigation causes the device to overheat excessively (Really! To above 50deg C on the cover!)

Nokia continue to disappoint because they insist on using crappy hardware on phone which otherwise would be the holy grail of smartphones.

As of now my mini is at the shop for its monthly repair appointment :-(

This is good phone actually, if Nokia didnt do any blunder in making this phone. The idea is making smaller one than the original n97. And, to realize that, Nokia make some "cut" from the original n97. Unluckyly Nokia did cut the battery capacity. Yes, the battery capacity is the biggest blunder in this phone. The battery only can stand for more or less 36 hours. 24 hours if u constantly using it in a day, and it's mean you need to recharge it everyday, a big pain if you forgot to recharge it. The camera also has flash leak, it means if you take picture using flash light, the picture taken was too bright on the left side. The phone also sometime shows error and you need to turn off the phone and take oof the battery for several minutes, to make it work again.

Beside that, this phone is great product. The build quality feel like premium phone. At first time, I just feel this pone is like my old Nokia 8800 arte. The size is more compact tah the original n97 and it's feel great in my hand. Qwery keyboard is responsive, music player is ease to use and support many types of audio type, also support radio and support auto search for radio station. The last GPS is surprisingly good.

its just a OK OK phone.... worst User Interface. and very bad battery life.
better buy any android phone in the same price. it wont have n97 mini's multimedia capabilities but overall it would give a good experience. It would have been better if it had retained the FM transmitter from its big brother.
But I must say it has the best speakers ever.

Nokia N97mini, what a great phone..

It has a Great kinetic scrolling touch screen, Great Speakers, Physical QWERTY keyboard, It can be recharged through PC via USB cable, Amazing applications, Very customizable.



I really love this phone, it is adorable..



Overall it's a Great phone with awesome features and UI..I'm glad i waited with buying the N97.
I like the slim design of the N97 mini more then the N97.

PS:
This is still a PHONE and not a pda/internettablet/iphone.
OK big screens are nice, but then you also need a huge battery.
Where are you gouing to put it all. It just doesn't fit comfortable in you pocket.
And you always need 2 hand to use the device.
it`s very good

Sleek and well built. Very easy to use. A lot better than original N97 doesn't crash at all compared to it's bigger brother.

It is a better phone than n97.The N97 mini build quality and materials are on a exacting high level. I have to say I really like the keyboard! It’s at a good angle and I don’t find I have to tilt it while typing.Also, although auto-rotate of the display (from portrait to landscape) is turned off by default, you can turn it on. It’s not exactly snappy though, so I prefer to leave it as is.GPS works better on the mini. The other big improvement over the N97 is the space on the C drive. I have email, web browser and music all running simultaneously no problem. Overall, I’m pleased with it. It’s not perfect, but it does the job and having a keyboard makes a big difference to me. Also the price was pretty good!

i ve got my n97 mini 3 days before.the design of the phone is great.no doubt it got good feature like sound and screen results are impressive.but the rest of features are just ok.the battery of the phone is not satisfying.except all this still the phone is good.

not good like its big brother
smaller screen
3.2 inch
8gb only
no fm transmitter
and more expensive than big n97 why?
really sad of it after using it no new thing like n900 which is also not good enough to beat n97

Great phone.  Can be set up as a social networking device or a powerful business tool.  Flip out keyboard is amazing, plus you can still write text in the old standard number keypad form.  Lots of memory, lots of options.  Build quality is superb.
