Nokia N97 Mini

Nokia N97 Mini  (£340)

Pros : The N97 Mini is a slimmed-down, cheaper version of 2009's Nokia N97.  However, it's hardly 'mini' - this phone weighs an above average 138 g.  Much of the reason for this bulk is that the N97 Mini has a sliding Qwerty keyboard, which is great for writing longer texts and emails.
  The N97 is easy to use.  You can customise the home screen with live feeds from social networks such as Facebook and download applications from Nokia's Ovi store.  You can also access Ove Maps with free navigation.  The N97 Mini has an impressive 5Mp autofocus camera on the back.  You can save your favourite photos on the large (8GB) internal memory or by using the MicroSD card slot.  Web pages load quickly thanks to the HSDPA (3.5G) and wi-fi connections.

Cons : Sound quality could be better (you can improve this by using your own headphones rather than the ones supplied).  Internet use drains the battery quickly and the 3.2 inch, 640x360 pixel touchscreen is smaller than on other models.  It also uses cheaper resistive technology, so isn't as responsive to touch as the capacitive screen on the Nokia X6.
