The Nokia N97 Mini is a handset which caters for a wide range of the mobile phone users. With a smaller size as indicated by its name, than the Nokia N97, the unit offers excellent functionality with a smooth and stylish design. This latest Nokia handset is a powerful unit mainly due to its use of the ARM 11 434 MHz processor and the Symbian OS v9.4 operating system. Both of which are capable and reliable elements.
A 3.2 inch TFT touch screen that operates at a pixel size of 360 x 640 is provided. The screens ability to reproduce effective colours is greatly enhanced by virtue of its ability to display 16 million colours. This means colours are represented in true life like colours.

A full QWERTY keyboard is housed behind the screen and is a useful addition.
GPRS, EDGE, Blue tooth and USB connections as well as HSDPA and Wi-Fi connections are included.
