Advertisements In this video, the Nokia designers explain how the homescreen, as we have seen on the Nokia N97, has come about. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35s7ZLm1go] Initially, I wasn’t sold on the subject when I heard about the homescreen – I thought it was like Nokia’s “active standby” just slightly beefed up.

The Nokia N97 has a compass mainly for rotating your maps to align with the roads/surroundings as you turn your phone.

If you can read this, then the title of the title is misleading, right? […]
This is one of the Nokia N97 reviews I have been waiting for, and it was a nice surprise to see Ricky Cadden, the Guru, take the helm of such a major handset review. Transition black looking stunning with this charcoal grey and gun metal rim combination. Spanning 8 pages, the review is extremely in […]
