Nokia N97 Sneak Preview – Part 2 (Software)!

Friday 29 May 2009 @ 4:30 pm

Here comes the part 2 of Nokia N97 sneak preview, it’s all about the software the phone uses.

Let’s have a look what we have on the main screen of the phone :-

You will be able to add up to 6 favourite widgets on the main screen and you can even arrange them according to your preference (see screen shot below). All widgets will load automatically if you have an active data plan or you are hocked up with a wireless (WiFi) network.

Some of the applications in N97 are specially developed with the collaborations between Nokia and 3rd parties such as Facebook, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. How thoughtful that is!

Besides, it seems Nokia N97 has brought social-networking a new level where you will be always connecting with your friends, colleagues and family via all sorts of social-networking applications, such as Facebook, Friendster, Hi5, Flickr, etc. This concept is exactly in conjunction with Nokia’s motto – Connecting People, isn’t it? :D

Yea, I know you probably will say with an integrated browser on any other phone, all these social-networking sites can be loaded, but believe me you can do more with the applications come with N97.

With N97, news and rss feeds will be automatically grabbed from all provided sources and displayed on the main screen. Basically, you’ll get updated with whatever information you wish to receive without doing anything, literally!

Below is the screen shot of the software menu of N97 :-

In the software menu, you can get the access to the major functions of the phone and the most fascinating part would surely be the applications installed in the phone. Let’s check it out :-

As you can see there are tons of ready-made applications installed in it.

Well, I should have shown you the dial menu in the first place but I got carried away writing about the widgets and applications. Haha… Anyway, here it is :-

Next post I’ll be sharing some photos I took when I was playing with the awesome camera of N97, web browsers, movie player and A-GPS with Nokia Maps. So, stay tuned!

    I still think it’s a failed attempt at making an iphone’s knock off. But on the basis of powerful ringtone customization & speaker alone, i’d choose nokia any day. But maybe not n97.

    np0531 : I did not try logging into Gmail that day. I was busy playing with all the pre-installed applications. :D

    Anyway, I think it should look the same in N97 if you install Gmail Mobile application.

    Syamil : The stereo speaker of N97 is not bad too. You’ll get to hear it in the video I’m going to share in coming days. :)

    best affiliate : The price is not finalized yet, we’ll know about it in coming week(s).

    Hey everybody..

    First off, I really can’t wait for the Nokia N97 but!!
    Does anybody know when it will be released in Australia?

    I have been looking everywhere for the release date for AUS, but I cannot find anything.
    I’m hoping somebody knows.. I’ve been on the Aus Nokia website but that doesn’t say; it
    only says coming soon.. So does anybody know the actual release date for the Aussies?

    I came across a website for the Nokia N97 owners http://www.NokiaN97Forum.com let’s help each other on this great phone.
