Nokia prepping N97 "multimedia computer"?

by Paul Miller, posted Nov 17th 2006 at 4:40PM

As much as we love to give Nokia crap for calling these S60 smartphones of theirs "multimedia computers," it's getting harder and harder to argue with the moniker. The purported specs on Nokia's upcoming N97, supposedly pictured above, include a 20GB HDD, "3D stereo speakers," 3.2 megapixel camera with flash and 2.4x optical zoom, 15fps video recording, a 3-inch screen, FM radio, miniSD, 400+ hour standby time, 4+ hour talk time and 24+ hour music playback. There's no real confirmation of all this, and the original source is in Hungarian -- always a shady sign -- but the truth is that it's really going to take specs like this to even register interest in light of its predecessor, the crazy-decked N95.

shopped, pixels, etc.

If it was legit though, it'd probably be 900/1800/1900/2100 knowing my luck.

I haven't touch an actual and the much-talked about N95 but I see it on papers that this is powerful. If this is true as well that N97 is coming around the corner then this must be the real muitimedia computer. Wait is this the worked of a photoshop artist?

I've been playing a tiny bit with the N95 and it's gorgeous! The top part of the slider is about half as thick as on my N80, the slider slides more precisely and firmly, superb feeling. The thing is just sooo cool, and the GPS is just the bomb! I love it!!
