Vaibhav,

Great review, we have been searching for a good pouch. It looks like it’s only available in box in Asia, however we have managed to source it:
The official code is Nokia CP-382.

Are you still using your case?

I have a normal stylus though, with a pocket in the case for it. And a word of advice, get the scratchguard immediately, you get a pouch free with it!

I have it, I love it. I am a serious business phone user, but I also play online games, which other phones could not handle. The combination of touch and qwerty is just.. perfect.

The ability to make it a wi fi spot with Joiku spot is superb, and on an Airtel network it’s better speed than a cyber cafe.

I still haven’t figured out how to password protect the key lock, though!

Superbly sexy phone. No regrets.

nice review!
really like how youre stating that alot of hardware implementations
are mostly personal taste. (keypad for example)
to the video im already wondering if i can “hack” the N97 to have the
connecting people hands like in the video!

Jas, the kinetic scrolling works smoothly for most web pages. It has been implemented in the widgets as well. Makes browsing way more fun.

Pratik, oh no there’s nothing wrong. Sorry, it slipped my mind. The screen is as good as resistive touch panels will ever get. I found it to be much more responsive that on the 5800, with both finger and stylus use. The screen is hard and not a little soft like to 5800. In short I had no issues with it and was pretty happy with what I saw. I will hopefully test it extensively soon.

Nice first impression. Just yesterday I talked about the pouch on my blog and I think you are the first to talk about it/take pictures of it. Great job, keep the posts coming!

Wow, almost 200Kbps for Bluetooth! That’s great for those that use it. I see a max of about 108Kbps with my N95-3 and about 135Kbps with the N85.

I can’t wait for Bluetooth 3.0, tho. The N79 and N85 did a similar “switch to Wifi” when using bluetooth for the Switch application.

I can’t wait to get my own N97!
