    The N97 mini is better than the original, but not so when compared with smartphones from other manufacturers. Its S60 OS helps the mini feel like an old phone even before it hits the stores. Read more

    • Strong physical design, Excellent hardware/connectivity, First-rate battery life
    • Series 60 OS feels seriously out-dated, Business productivity tools need attention

    Almost nine months after the launch of its highly anticipated but ultimately disappointing , Nokia has seen fit to update its arsenal with a miniature version of its flagship consumer device: the Nokia N97 mini.

    • Smaller design is an improvement, solid keyboard, responsive UI, live widgets on home screen, Ovi Maps navigation
    • No innovative or groundbreaking improvements, no FM transmitter, poorly designed power button, resistive touch screen

    • : Some slowdowns when launching applications; Several icons on the phone were small; Screen gets dirty easily; Browser could have been better
