Even before we get to buy the Nokia 5800 XPressMusic here in the Philippines, Nokia is already banking on a better and more usable version for its NSeries version — the Nokia N97.
The Nokia N97 looks like it’s positioned against the touchscreen + qwerty combination of the Sony Ericsson XPeria X1.
…and the Nokia N97 specs:
3.5 inches (360×640 pixels, 16 million colors) touchscreen display
32GB internal memory
up to 16GB on microSD
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
HSDPA 3.6Mbps
proximity sensor
accelerometer sensor
full qwerty keyboard
handwriting recognition
5 MP (2584×1938 pixels) Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, video (30fps)
2nd front facing camera for videocalls
LED Flash
GPS receiver (A-GPS support)
Stereo FM radio with RDS
TV Out
3.5 mm audio output jack
Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5
With that much specs on a qwerty and touchscreen phone, the Nokia N97 could cool down excitement for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It will be out by first half of 2009 and will retail for about $693 (~Php34,000).

It’s definitely aimed at the X1. A story on Reuters said that it’s release in 2009 is a little late if Nokia were to take the lead of the market again.
Then again, it would be a different story here in the Philippines because we practically swallowed up every phone Nokia dished out at us.
32GB of internal disk space plus another 16GB is pretty neat storage. Oh well, this could be my wish list for Christmas 2009. LOL
Wow, awesome spec.
Oh darn! I wasn’t informed about this phone earlier. If I was, I would’ve wait for this to come out than buying Xperia all the way from Saudi. Oh well, it’s still cool though. I’m just a 15 yr. old kid. No need to have things flashy
I favor Sony Ericsson’s camera than Nokia 
Compared to the current price of the X1, the N97s price is very tempting.
i hope this one got a better touch screen than 5800 and less bug unlike the N85 and N96 that Nseries recently released.
N97 vs. iPhone. Hmm.. The market has a good fight now.
My gripe is always with the LED Flash
windows mobile has this version before - the physical aspect i mean; HTC Tilt or Kaiser.
dvbh is missing in n97? why?
I THINK NOKIA HAS COME OUT WITH A VERY GOOD PRODUCT THAT CAN GO HEAD ON COMPETITION FOR APPLE’S I-PHONE.
BY THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE EVERYONE FOR THE UPCOMING COMDDAP MANILA 2008 AT THE HALL 1 CONVENTION CENTER SMX MALL OF ASIA PASAY ON THE WSI BOOTH TO AVAIL OF SPECIAL DISCOUNTS ON THE SEVERAL IT PRODUCTS.

The thing about Nokia is, after they released a new product, after months they will release another product, so people will buy like SE or LG or Samsung instead of Nokia…
But I like the specs, I wish other brand will create more exciting feature, I just don’t want to buy Nokia anymore.
wow ever since Im a nokia enthusiast..
cool phone! but i love my BB Bold now
i had different nokia units in the past, the last was N80, which was lost recently:(
