Video: Nokia N97 Scratch Test.
The N97geeks are putting the Nokia N97 through a series of rigorous tests. The first looks at the N97′s ability to withstand scratches – something Nseries hasn’t really been known for with their surprisingly inadequate build quality. However, things are slowly changing; choice of materials are improving and slowly getting to the standard of Eseries.
The N97′s screen is tested with:
- The stylus
- A 10p coin (prob preferable to use a rougher penny or 2p)
- A key
There are a couple of smears on screen but no permanent damage. Looks good on the durability front for the N97. We’ll have to wait and see how it turns out for N97 owners in real life pocket tests, and not just for the screen but for the rest of the surface of the N97.

[...] stryk alls, men det verkar som om jag hade fel. N97Geeks har torterat sin N97:a genom att försöka repa skärmen med pengar och nycklar, inte en enda repa tydligen. Sen har de testat hur den klarar sig vid fall. [...]
Thats pretty impressive, All the phones I have had end up with scratches on the screen. I agree though, lets see how this turns out in real life…Will post a comment with how I get on with my N97
