Nokia N97 Announced in India

It was announced a couple of days ago that Nokia’s N97 was going to be out this month in 75 countries. India was of course one of them. Today the handset was showcased in Delhi in all its glory. Sadly though, there’s still no pricing attached to the device yet, which is quite annoying, considering there’s plenty of speculation going around about the heavy specs the handset is loaded with. For those of you who are still unaware of the features, I don’t see how, but here’s a quick recap.


The handset will run on an ARM 11 434 MHz processor on a Symbian OS (v9.4) with a Series 60 UI. It’s going to be ready for social networking and connectivity to Nokia’s new OVI store. Other features will include -

* A 3.5-inch TFT resistive touchscreen, with 16M colors and a 360 x 640 pixel resolution
o The screen has an accelerometer sensor for auto-rotating the display
o Supports handwriting recognition
* It has a slide out full QWERTY keyboard
* 3.5mm earphone socket that doubles up for a TV out for audio and video
* Stereo FM radio with RDS, Visual Radio and an FM Transmitter
* Bluetooth with A2DP and USB 2.0 (micro)
* 3G (with HSDPA), EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
* a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics
* GPS with A-GPS support, a Digital Compass and geotagging
* 32GB of internal storage as well as support for microSD cards
* Pocket office preloaded

We’re estimating the handset to be worth approximately Rs. 36,000 give or take a few thousand and it’s more likely going to take a few. We’ll know soon enough so stay tuned.
