Final words
The Nokia N97 mini is a very versatile full-featured device, nicely balanced with with hardly any serious holes in its specs sheet. What’s best about it, is that “mini” moniker is certainly not a negative one. The N97 mini is in the size range of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and it’s in fact thinner despite the slide out keyboard.
