Nokia was always known for its smartphones everywhere except US. There are many models that are masterpieces featuring the latest and greatest. Once in a while, however, Nokia releases particularly unique products destined to be iconic and adored combination of the top technologies available on the market. Some time ago N95 attracted wide attention due to its five megapixel camera, large amount of memory, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.

Nokia N97 is a new player in the best smartphones league. From time to time is is named the first serious Nokia attempt to compete with iPhone. While Nokia devices may be not as simple as the ones made by the fruit company, the killer set of features makes N97 a decent competitor for the demanding users.

Here are some goodies that you can find inside N97. Some of them made Scobl to call N97 the ultimate facebook device.

• Homescreen customizable with widget. Yes, facebook and weather updates are included.
• Full QWERTY keyboard hidden under an excellent side slider.
• New release of Nokia maps that provides turn-by-turn navigation, city guides and uses the built-in compass very well. No more guessing about the street direction!
• 5 megapixel camera and 32 GB of build-in storage + ability to add a memory card.
• Fast internet with Wi-Fi at home and HSDPA speed (very fast 3G basically) outside.
• Good browser with the Flash and YouTube support.
• All that usable with both keyboard and a touch screen (no multi-touch yet).
• Ovi store that is just like iPhone’s app store for Nokia.
• Etc, etc, etc.

The last but not least is that Nokia N97 with its loads of memory, touch screen and generous Ovi store makes an excellent platform for 3rd party developers. I would be surprised if very soon we won’t be seeing a wave of new applications unleashing all the potential of this device.
