Pros & Cons
Whilst not the most inexpensive phone on the market it is packed with every thing you can imagine. I've viewed quite a few information videos on the N97 in which one narrator was looking for the kitchen sink mode in the menu.
It's the Battery that Makes the Difference

Nokia N97 Smaller but not Mini
Nokia now holds the top
three places in Mobile phones according to WHICH ? Magazine the N97
mini is a smaller version of N97 which as held the top place for the
last 3 months.
The N97 Mini has a sliding full Qwerty keyboard for
easy typing; it lets you customise the home screen with a range of
widgets. One of the cut backs in the reduced size is no lens cover
however it does come with a range of advanced features but struggles
at night. The display is great for videos, and the tilting screen
makes it even better watching. The Mini has a good radio and music
player, above average battery life and you can also access your
Microsoft Office documents.
Yes! and I can Text
What’s prompted me to write this hub
is I’m 56 years of age; I bought my first mobile phone some 20 years ago
and I‘ve had numerous cell phones since.
As far as I was concerned mobile phones were good if I was out and about in a car and some one wanted to get in touch with me or me with them, end of story,
and some times I didn’t want anyone to get in touch with me, so that was an
inconvenience.
O! It could tell me the time as well.
Texting: couldn’t be bothered (scared really), I’ll phone instead; but it’s cheaper to text; I’m not that hard up, and so on; besides I use to watch my three sons texting; it was all to fast and my fingers where bigger than theirs' I kept touching other button, it was so frustrating.
Not any more!
I’m not that old to realise that there a great invention and I’d rather have than have not.

So Easy to Use The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic,
The Nokia5800 xpressmusic has been awarded 'Best Buy Mobile Phone' BY 'Which?' the consumer magazine.
I’m
not going to go into any nitty gritty here; you can get all the statistics,
sizes and how many pixels and so forth off the great video below which shows you exactly how everything works.
I’m just going to tell you
from a users point of view why I like this phone.
The Phone : Nokia 5800
I kept saying to my lovely wife, Her who must be obeyed, Her in doors, Dirty Dee
(she cheats at cards);
“I’m sick of this mobile phone it’s to small, buttons and all”
“I’ll do the renewing at the end of the contract” and so the day came.
I’m a member of ‘Which?’ the online consumer
magazine.
Which I highly recommend to anyone: The opening statement
on there website is
‘No Advertising, No Bias, No Hidden Agenda’.
When ever I’m thinking of buying something; I go on line to ‘Which?’,
and you can bet they’ve tested it, and they give you a rating for the top 4 or
5 products sometimes more; you don’t even have to think about it.
In the past I’ve gone to 4 or 5 shops weighing up the product and listening to numerous
sales people telling me just how good it is and why I should by it just so they'de get a sale.
Not with 'Which?' their totally bias and tell it like it is; you get the good and the bad about every product, but there’s always one that comes out on top.
Just like a key board you can use two hands
Best Buy The nokia5800 xpressmusic
The Nokia is a good size and so easy to use; I more or less carried out all the functions I needed (with one hand tied behind my back,well! nearly) before I even looked at the instruction book; when you see what you want on the screen just touch the screen and up it comes, and yes as I mentioned I’m now in the world of texting; so it’s worked out even less expensive than it’s ever been for me.
The Phone opens up like a side opening glasses case so you can actually use two hands to text and the buttons are just the right size. I think mobile phone companies where in a big race to see who could produce the smallest phone at one stage; you can only go so far before it becomes unrealistic.
Internet Access, Mapping, Video, Camera, Radio, Texting, Head Phones and built-in stereo speakers.
