Nokia N97 Mini previewed: not so mini, not so great
As sure as the sun, Mobile-review’s Eldar Murtazin managed to nab a very early look at the still yet-to-be-announced Nokia N97 Mini, and as if we needed another reminder, the FCC filing wasn’t kidding with that 1:1 scale. Turns out it only takes “around a centimeter” difference to earn the “mini” nomenclature in Finland, and in addition to that peculiarity, the company’s apparently managed to make the keyboard actually worse than its predecessor — no small feat, if you ask us. Of course, we haven’t had a chance to try it ourselves yet, but the prognosis so far isn’t so good. Perhaps more interesting is good ole’ Eldar’s teasing about a number of other touchscreen Nokia devices, some without keyboards, that’d target the same segment as the N97 Mini, including one he’ll be revealing and previewing tomorrow — and no matter what it is, we can all but guarantee with supreme confidence that it’ll have a more compelling raison d’être than this thing.
