15 Min Long Hands on Demo
Of The Nokia N97 at CTIA 2009

Matthew Bennett from Nokia Daily News and tnkgrl’s Myriam Joire gave us a whooping 15 minute long walkthrough the Nokia N97’s software, hardware, greatly improved and highly customized active standby screen, widgets implementation, demo of the new version of the web browser version with kinetic scrolling and much more.

Nokia’s Julien Fourgeaud has done a great job of presenting this powerful device that offers the best of both worlds, an awesome touch sensitive screen, and the full size QWERTY keyboard packed into complex tilt-slide-out form factor that instantly transforms phone into mini laptop with a QWERTY keyboard and the huge high-definition screen.

The hardware architecture is still mystery unfortunately and all we have at the moment is the ongoing rumour over at forum section about the OMAP 3 chipset!!! Yeah you read it right, apparently there is a little chip with well known Texas Instruments’ logo but we are not quite sure if it is OMAP or something else!?!
