| Review: |
As expected Nokia N97 mini is the smaller compact version of Nokia N97 with the same hardware of N97. But its design is more appealing as compared to N97. However the compact size has led to smaller display. Performance-wise also N97 mini is better than N97. It has better phone call and in-call quality. But unfortunately, the N97 mini retains several of the shortcomings of the N97, like sluggish operational speed and limited video codec support. Samsung OMNIA HD i8910 would be the cheaper and better alternative for Nokia N97 mini. |
