HD Video: Tech65's Nokia N97 video preview

If you’ve been following the Nokia N97, then the video below won’t tell you anything new about it. However, it’s still nice to watch, and certainly made me want to get the N97 (Black) even more now. Click HD for extra shiny goodness.

• They seem to love playing with the slide mechanism of the N97. I know, even when I got a couple of fake dummy N97s, (which are no where near the stability of the real N97) the slide mechanism of that was also surprisingly solid – the keyboard flicks out instantly with minimum effort, opening only if you push from the left side, so it won’t randomly open in your pocket.

• One important thing they do note is that since the focus of this device is INTERNET and social networking, you really need to have an excellent data plan to take full advantage of online services anywhere and anytime.  I’ll be using the WiFi whenever I’m at home or Uni or other locations with Free WiFi, but for the peace of mind of  always being connected, I’m going to get an unlimited data plan (O2 and vodafone offer “unlimited” internet for about £5)

• Tech 65 guys say they don’t think the N97 can browse flash – Don’y worry,  it can. Although you can choose to disable it if you know the websites you’re going to be visiting will just be using flash for ads, otherwise, flash websites like YouTube will play fine on the N97 browser like they would on your desktop.
