I’ve said in the past that my n95 is my favourite gadget, however that is old news - step aside n95, the n97 is in town. The decision for me to get it was easy - its fantastic, from the qwerty keyboard that takes a bit of getting used to, to the touch screen and the browser. I’ve had the phone for a little while and whilst there are a few little issues these will almost certainly get sorted in future firmware versions (an update is due this month which will feature kinetic scrolling on all menu’s). For me the keyboard is one of the best features, I haven’t fully tested my typing speeds compared to the n95 but I’m fairly sure they’ve improved - without predictive text and the hassle of turning it on / off for words that are or aren’t in the dictionary.

I think biggest issue has to be the low amount of memory - when a couple of applications are running it reduces the amount left free to a level whereby error messages hinder usage. however this isn’t always an issue and can be resolved with a cleanup of items left in the browsers history, I also hear that it will be resolved by the firmware update due this month.

The browser on the n97 is another plus point for me, to be able to touch and move around the pages more naturally than on the N95 is brilliant and the loading time of web pages is much lower too.

Applications that make the most of the n97’s touch screen are currently in limited numbers but I hope that over time some more brilliant apps will be released - the Facebook widget is fantastic whilst its working and not crashing.

Overall I’m very glad that I got the n97 and hopefully I’ll get a video done demoing some of my favourite features soon.

Whilst this may not be interesting to everyone I feel its rather interesting, there are absolutely loads of choices available to people for different gadgets, the main example I am going to use is for cameras, with my birthday money from last Sunday I purchased a digital camera, I researched this for quite a while to weigh up my options and I found plenty!, its made complicated by the shear number of brands available, the quality of the sensors
