Review: Nokia N97
Calls
Making calls with the N97 is as easy as any other phone. The home screen has a tiny little picture of a dialpad at the bottom. Press that and the numeric keypad shows up. The software keys are nice and large and easy to dial.
With the dialpad open, you can punch in the numbers directly, open the contacts app, or bring up a list of your recent calls. Touching the green send key from the home screen will automatically bring up the call log. You can set the call log to store calls for 0, 1, 10, or 30 days (default). If you place a call with the phone open, it will turn on the speakerphone by default.
Contacts
First, you can store up to four contacts directly onto the home screen. This gives you instant access to those contacts and their information. The main contact app lets you store reams of data about people. Contacts can be synced via Nokia's desktop client or through its Ovi services if you happen to use it.
Each contact page has buttons that let you instantly do things such as send a message, call them or email them. Searching through the contacts app is easy with the search bar. Simply start typing and it automatically starts to search.
Given the power of a device such as this, I am disappointed that it can't integrate the contacts data from social networking sites such as Facebook better.
