Nokia N97 will hit the market sooner than you anticipate and it is a moment to rejoice for mobile fanatics. The spanking new Nokia N97 will usher a new era of mobile internet computingthat was previously unheard of! Packed with all the looks, features, design, speed and the internet – it is all you’ll need for a very long time to come.

Nokia unveiled the N97 in the Nokia World 2008 event held in the December of 2008 and since then every mobile enthusiasts has been waiting for this piece of wonder to officially hit themarkets. Nokia touts (and rightfully so!) the N97 as the world’s most advanced mobile computer which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other.

And unlike the previous phones you don’t have to wait for say 2 years for N97 to be released worldwide because this time the Nokia N97 will be released in 75 countries at the same time.Yes, thats 75 countries! I just can’t imagine how big it’d be.

Note for UK readers : Nokia has officially announced that the new Nokia N97 will be available in Nokia Flagship Stores by 19th June. It’ll be available at the cost of ?499 and will be sim-free?meaning you can choose the operator you deem best for your needs! If you want to get in on contract then it’ll be available from June 26th from Vodafone at ?40 per month for an?18-month contract.

Nokia N97 will be one of the most anticipated Nokia products ever! And I truly believe that it can give the iPhone a serious run for its market share. But we can’t be sure too soon given?that Apple will be releasing a new model of the iPhone later this year. Although this might materialize soon if Nokia gets a little soft on the price which is, frankly a little steep given these?times of global lull.

But whatever it may be, the N97 is nothing short of a masterpiece. It has got a 32 GB built-in storage, expandable upto 48 GB! Its probably more than what I used for my first computer.

And it won’t be of any surprise that Nokia is projecting it as a “little computer in your pocket” phone.

Specially designed for the Internet-savvy consumers the N97 comes with a large 3.5-inch touch-screen display with a full QWERTY keyboard. And with the recently lauched Nokia Ovi app?store you can fiddle with a good number of applications. With unlimited storage for your videos and photos you never again have to worry about keeping them safe.

What more you can keep up with your family, friends and the people that matter most to you by simply going to the wide (16:9) home screen where all the social networks, media and?content are fetured for easy access.

Customize, Personalize and Widget-ize your Experience

An avid Facebook user? No problem. With the shiny new N97 keeping in touch with Facebook has never been easier and that too from the homescreen. Want to know if you’ll wet your

pants today (in the rain, of course!)? No problem – just install a weather app and you’re good to go! And because this is Nokia’s first device that comes with a customizable, widget-ready

home screen and also the first that ships Ovi-enabled it is going to satisfy a lot of users. If you’re a news junky then there is the Associated Press widget, the Bloomberg widget and also?the Reuters which are also available for other phones through the Ovi app store.

I see, I believe!

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The phrase is perfect for Nokia N97 which comes with a nice 5-megapixel camera with integrated Carl Zeiss optics. Besides, 30 fps?(frames per second) which should give you a good-quality image and video experience. You can even geo-tag (geo-tagging refers to the act of assigning global identification data to pictures and videos) the images and share it via Ovi, Flickr and even Twitter!

Let the music play!

For music lovers, theres a huge music catalog in the Nokia Music Store and the N97 providing a direct access to it coupled with the fact that you have a total of 48GB storage to play?with, you can be sure that you never run out of music for weeks on end! The 3.5mm stereo headset ensures that only the highest quality sounds make through to your ears. Not only this,?but you can discover new artists, top bands and old favorites right through your phone!
