Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy mobile phone users who are also
conscious of style, the Nokia N97 Mini takes everything that was great about its
full-sized N97 predecessor and shrinks its size by almost a half-ounce, and
shaves its thin profile by 12 percent. Like it's bigger sibling, the N97 Mini
includes a full QWERTY keyboard that flips open at an angle for optimal viewing,
as well as a touch-enabled 3.2-inch display for easy navigation through the
phone's customizable home screen.

With integrated GPS sensor and the newest edition of Ovi Maps (full version
pre-loaded on this phone or available as a free download from nokia.com/maps),
you'll enjoy all essential car and
pedestrian navigation features, and the ability to use navigation
features even when not connected to a cellular network--great for extending
battery life and saving on international roaming charges. Features include
turn-by-turn voice guidance, over 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities for
quick recognition of the landscape around you, access to Lonely Planet travel
guides, and detailed maps for over 180 countries (see
more
details below). You'll also be able to keep moving in the right direction
with the integrated electronic compass.
And the N97 Mini comes with a Nokia Navigation Accessory Kit, which includes a
mobile charger and Nokia mobile holder with easy mount that enables you to mount
the N97 Mini to your dash or window.
The N97 Mini includes 8 GB of on-board storage and is expandable via optional
microSD memory cards (up to 16 GB in size). It also includes integrated Wi-Fi
connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, home, and on the
road from a variety of wireless hotspots. You'll also be able to connect to a
wide choice of peripherals--including stereo headphones--using the Bluetooth 2.0
with Enahnced Data Rate (EDR) capabilities.
The 5-megapixel camera offers high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and
DVD-quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for
immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN. Other features include an easily
customizable home screen, access to both personal and corporate e-mail,
Quickoffice document viewers, TV-out capability for displaying photos and videos
on external televisions, stereo FM radio, USB 2.0 connectivity, and up to 7.17
hours of GSM talk time (4 hours when using 3G networks).
Unlocked Phone
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider, and it
offers quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a
SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your
selected service provider. This phone comes with a full manufacturer's warranty.
Additionally, this phone can be paired with 850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G networks
in the United States (as well as 900/2100 MHz 3G networks found around the
world, including in Europe and Asia). When paired with a compatible 3G network,
you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless
services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and
take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas not served by a
3G network, you'll continue to receive data service via the EDGE network
(depending on network compatibility).
Note that the downloading of maps, games, music, and videos, and uploading of
images and videos, involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service
provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of
particular services and features may vary by carrier.

No Hidden Costs
The new version of Ovi Maps comes with all the maps and high-end, car grade
navigation features you need for free, and is yours to keep for the life of the
smartphone. No additional licenses are needed for extra countries, regions, or
services like traffic information and city guides. Data charges from network
operators may apply.
Voice Guidance and Traffic Information
Turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation comes free for both drivers and
pedestrians. For drivers this includes lane assistance, traffic information,
safety camera, and speed warnings. For pedestrians, this includes shortcuts
through parks and pedestrian-only zones for over 100 cities around the world, as
well as 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities to help you find exactly where you
are.
Unique Hybrid Technology
Ovi Maps is built on an advanced technology called hybrid vector maps. Vector
maps are high quality but less data intensive and allow you to continue to
navigate even if you lose your network connection. This means that maps
downloaded or updated across a network connection are about half the size of
bulky bitmaps used by other mobile map providers. The hybrid technology ensures
that, unlike other providers, any downloaded map data is stored on the device
for future use.
No Network Connection Required When Navigating
Avoid expensive, battery-draining network connections with Nokia's unique hybrid
technology. Maps can be pre-loaded on to your Nokia smartphone so you can set
Ovi Maps to offline mode, saving battery power, and the navigation system will
still work. This is particularly useful for those worried about data connection
costs when travelling abroad, or when you are travelling through areas with
little or no network coverage.
Best Global Coverage
You take your mobile with you wherever you go in the world so, as standard,
voice guided navigation for both pedestrians and drivers is available for 74
countries in 46 different languages, and there are maps for over 180 countries.
This gives you the best maps with the largest global coverage for free.
Following in the footsteps of its bigger, older brother, the Nokia N97 mini
sports new homescreen widgets and a host of usability improvements. While the
N97 mini still packs 8GB of storage, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, and full QWERTY
keyboard into its 14.2mm thin frame, it's also the first Nokia device to offer
Lifecasting with Ovi--a new partnership with Facebook that enables users to
update their Facebook status directly from the device’s homescreen. It doesn't
stop there though, as location details can also be updated, enabling a whole new
level of social sharing and communication. The N97 mini is based on the same
tilt display design of its N97 big brother, but is built into a smaller body
complete with new design touches. With the ability to completely customize the
homescreen, users will be able to make their N97 mini truly unique. The 3.2-inch
touchscreen opens up a new world of software improvements including flick
scrolling, and a range of new experiences including new homescreen widgets.
What's more, the software updates are available for existing N97 devices. The
Nokia N97 mini works seamlessly with Ovi Store where users can add new
applications, widgets, ringtones and other content to their device. It also
sports Ovi Maps and comes with integrated A-GPS and compass along with with
voice navigation for driving or walking. Over 155,000 points of interest are
also available through Lonely Planet guides and restaurants through Michelin
