• Pros Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the N97. Powerful camera and multimedia performance. Free Ovi Maps GPS navigation. Mediocre keyboard.

• Bottom Line The Nokia N97 mini is an improvement over the original N97, and the free Ovi Maps GPS app rocks. But there's still not enough here to pull U.S. Buyers away from other smart devices. The Nokia N97 mini is another solid device for Symbian fans, but it's not going to convince other platforms' faithful to switch. It's slightly smaller than the original ($599.00 direct, N/R), and it includes minor UI improvements such as extra home screen widgets and support for 'flick' gestures. Nokia also beefed up the phone's social networking capabilities.

But the upgrades bring this handset to where the original N97 should have been a year ago, no further. Design, Keyboard, and Voice Quality The N97 mini rings in at 4.5 by 2.1 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and 4.9 ounces. It looks slimmer and sleeker than the original N97.

The 3.2-inch plastic resistive touch screen is down a few ticks in size, but it still features the same sharp 640-by-360-pixel resolution. It didn't feel as stubborn as some other similar screens I've tried. But finger response still lags the capacitive touch screens on Android, iPhone, and webOS devices. The LCD wasn't particularly bright or vibrant, either. The N97 mini features a sliding tilt mechanism that contains a hidden QWERTY keyboard. You don't slide it out and up like an ($299.99-$499.99 street, ) or flip it open like an ($99.00-$409.00 direct, ).

Instead, you flick the N97 mini's keyboard up and out, with your fingers pressed against the back edge. The keyboard itself wasn't great, with just three rows of low-rise keys, an off-center space bar, and an overly stiff feel. (At least it's silent.) The N97 mini is a world phone, with quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and tri-band HSDPA 3.6 (850/1900/2100 MHz) support with Wi-Fi. That means it works on 3G with AT&T, and 2G EDGE with T-Mobile. For my tests, I popped in an AT&T SIM card. Signal reception was solid.

Voice quality was fine for an unlocked phone; one call descended into computery-sounding syllables, but a reconnect to the same party fixed the problem. Calls sounded loud and clear through an ($99.00, ) Bluetooth headset. The speakerphone was tinny but still loud enough for outdoor use. The 1200mAh battery provided 4 hours and 37 minutes of talk time in 3G mode. User Interface and Apps You can stock the N97 mini's cluttered home screen with widgets that provide information from from news, weather, and social networking sites, plus Web and contact bookmarks. Reordering icons and flicking through Web pages was relatively smooth. But there's no multi-touch support, and the UI always felt slow, perhaps because of the 434 MHz ARM11 processor.

(Most competing, non-Nokia phones have faster processors.) The bugs weren't fun either. Sometimes I saw graphical garbage during navigation, like 'half-menus' left over from a prior screen. Once, when I turned on the handset, it refused to find AT&T's network and spit out error messages until I power-cycled it. The N97 mini has good social networking support.
