I had quite some trouble initially with the phone, as I found the touch screen very slow and inaccurate. However after a month or so a software upgrade improved that quite dramatically, and the screen is pretty responsive now. The front screen can be... more »

Alas my 3 months of contentment with the phone, wasn't to last. The fault began one night when I tried to charge it after the battery went flat. It would not charge at all and and would not switch off. The screen went white, displaying the Nokia ... more »

I've had my N97 mini a month now, I liked the look of the phone but the bad reviews was something I worried about. Not had most the problems others have had, battery lasts 2-4 days depending on usage, internet drains it. Only froze once in the month,... more »

The N97 mini is a real value for money phone. The phone comes with a 5 MP camera which is good but the night images do not come up in the natural way. The sound quality is extremely good and I enjoy listening to music on it. Although one of the m... more »

The phone in general is great. Nice to hold in the palm of your hand, easy to work and use. Some features you will not find on most expensive phones, but the Nokia software is a little untidy. What I mean by this is the phone goes blank or try to loa... more »
