| ReviewsDisplay Verdicts | 73 out of 100 CNET The Nokia N97 Mini is a more stable and better designed device than the bigger N97, but its Achilles' heel remains as the confusing user interface keeps it behind today's leading touch-screen smartphones. read more 70 out of 100 CNET Asia Though its screen is smaller and internal storage reduced compared with the original N97, the improvements in form factor more than make up for it. read more 70 out of 100 TechRadar Slick version of Nokia flagship phone arrives to upstage its big brother read more 70 out of 100 Good Gear Guide Nokia's N97 mini is an improvement over the highly disappointing original, but this is merely what the original N97 should have been in the first place. There are no real groundbreaking or innovative features, but the mini remains a solid, if unspectacular smartphone. read more N/A out of 100 GSMArena The Nokia army of touchscreen smartphones gets larger by the hour and the Nokia N97 mini is surely one of the most interesting new recruits.

We only wish it had a better browser to complete the package. read more 80 out of 100 Good Gear Guide RIM's latest BlackBerry Bold remains a great business smartphone and is a sleeker and more compact device than the original Bold. The compact size results in a smaller keyboard and display, though, which power users may not appreciate. There is plenty to like about the BlackBerry Bold 9700, but RIM hasn't offered anything innovative in this release. read more N/A out of 100 GSMArena Some handsets will work their socks off to have their fifteen minutes of fame, others are simply born into stardom. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is certainly fortunate to carry a name that stands for popularity and excellence in the RIM family of phones. But this kind of fame can be less a blessing and more of a curse if the successor fails to live up to the standards set by its illustrious namesake read more |
