Nokia has finally released a QWERTY-slider smartphone in the Nokia N97, a new Nseries superphone that will reach the global market sometime in the first half of this year. The Nokia N97 (specs) features a touchable 16:9 widescreen display, and will improve upon the standard Symbian S60 OS with a UI improved for touch input, as well as home page widgets of favorite Web services and social networking sites….. Nokia claims that the Nokia N97 will use a browser than can display Flash animation, which would put it at the head of the mobile browser pack. Like the Nokia 5800, the Nokia N97 will support Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Video.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Nokia N97’s Web browser in action, as the hands-on preview we were offered in New York City, to coincide with the phone’s launch at Nokia World in Barcelona, was anything but hands-on. We saw slide shows of the device, and a couple prototype models from arms length, but we were specifically forbidden from touching the device. This isn’t so uncommon, as we were similarly forbidden from touching the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 when it was launched. Both of those phones were announced months, even whole quarters ahead of their actual ship date.
