on 09/02/2009, filed in Home > CellPhones

Nokia has just announced their N97 Mini, essentially a tinier version of its flagship N97 smartphone. This S60 5th Edition-powered handset is equipped with a 3.2″ resistive touchscreen display at 640 x 360 resolution, which can be augmented by a full-QWERTY sliding keyboard when you need to send those text messages out in a flurry. Available in quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) while boasting support for UMTS in two different tri-band configurations (850/1900/2100MHz and 900/1900/2100MHz) with HSDPA for high-speed connectivity, the N97 Mini will also feature Wi-Fi connectivity just in case there is no 3G access at that point in time. Other features include FM RDS radio support, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, aGPS, a microSD memory card slot and 8GB of internal memory. Arriving later this October for 450 Euros before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia N97 Mini should hopefully weed out some weaknesses found in the Nokia N97.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
