Nokia N97 Officially Launches in the Philippines

Yesterday afternoon saw the official launch of the Nokia N97, and I was finally able to test the phones features for the first time, all while snapping some up-close pics. Those and some first impressions follow.
Basically, think of the N97 as a more powerful Nokia 5800, with a QWERTY keyboard that slides out from underneath. The sizes of both phones are practically similar. The N97 also breaks the long tradition of N9x phones that barely last a day, thanks to its use of the same high-capacity battery as the E63 and E71.
Future owners should watch out: this phone attracts fingerprints like honey does bees. They should take care of the bundled accessories, as the N97 uses a proprietary port for its data cable and charger. At least the included adapter lets it work with those big- and small-pin standard Nokia chargers.
In the box:
- Nokia N97
- Phone Case
- 1500mAh battery
- Charger
- Charger adapter
- USB data cable
- Manual and warranty docs
- Earphone-remote handsfree kit
- Nokia Ovi Suite installer
- Wipe cloth
- Detachable stylus you can loop into the phone
As always, the full review will follow! Pictures below (Click on the thumbnails for full-size versions)

If this phone is much better than the E71, I’d feel bad…

Nokia has started to distribute the phone to resellers. Expect complete distro by August 2009 at the latest.
