N97 Launch Buzz: Expert’s Opinion
Unlike the iPhone 3G , which doesn’t feature a Qwerty keypad, tapping out long messages, browsing the Web or chatting to friends over IM should be easy. Nokia is hardly going overboard with the hype on this one: “The N97 isn’t a device that will trigger knee-jerk hysteria,” it modestly promises, and it’s right, but it’s a solid phone that will hopefully deliver a great messaging and social experience.
