N97 vs M97 Mini

Nokia N97 Mini

So Nokia have finally formally released details of the N97 Mini and it is mini in many aspects. Lets have alook at some of the differences:

  • The N97 Mini is smaller, at 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm, compared with the N97 at 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm
  • The N97 mini is about 12 g lighter, at 138 g
  • It has less storage – only 8GB compared to the 32GB on the N97.
  • Because the body is smaller, so is the screen – 3.2” compared with 3.5”
  • Also more mini is the keyboard, which loses the D Pad.
  • And the price – well that is expected to be less as well, but only about 14% less at £429 compared to £499 for the top range model.

It may be that Nokia will let retailers discount the N97 mini more heavily than the N97, retaining the latter’s flagship status, or it could just be that Nokia see a market for a slightly cheaper multimedia mobile.
