"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
responsive touchscreen compared to the HTC touch HD that i was using prviously.
What I don't like:
hangs few times everyday, half the screen goes black.
Review:
i have had the N97 for two weeks. from the second day it started to hang, at times it would not even switch off and i would have to take off the battery. When i slide out the key board it wont switch from portrait to landscape and just go blank, then i would have to restart it. Then at times, half the screen would go blank. I have had the n95, e71 (a little less) and they all hang but the n97 hangs way too much. Well its such a pricey phone, nokia should have sorted out this problem before they released it. WHy should we sepend so much on a phone a go through these problems. No matter how many features a mobile has, first thing is, it should be reliable and not hang in the middle of something. I have been counting each day for it to release but now that i have it, it is utter disappointment.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
