Nokia has taken the wraps of its latest handset, the personalisation-focused N97, which it claims is the ‘world’s most advanced mobile computer.’

The successor to the N96 will be available from the second half of next year, boasting a titled 3.5inch touch screen, QWERTY keyboard and personalised home screen, and will come with a price tag of around €550 (£465) before subsidies and taxes.

The N97 will also pack multiple A-GPS sensors, an electronic compass, a faster processor than the N96 and 3.6Mb/sec HSDPA data support. Users can also stay linked to their favourite social networking sites – all with the aim of making it easier for people to share their so-called ‘social location’ with others, according to the Finnish mobile giant.

"From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence," said Jonas Geust, vice president of Nokia’s Nseries division.

"The Nokia N97 mobile computer adjusts to the world around us, helping stay connected to the people and things that matter most. With the Nokia N97, Nseries leads the charge in helping to transform the internet into your internet."

The handset features a 16:9 widescreen display, five megapixel camera and support for Flash video streaming. It will also offer updated widgets connecting users to the web services and sites that matter to them most, in addition to supporting up to a whopping 48GB of storage.
