Nokia N97 in Australia
Update September 2010: The best place to buy the Nokia N97 outright is from mobicity who currently have it unlocked for $489 down from $709.
You can also get the Nokia N97 free on a 24 month contract with Vodafone. Full details and plans available on the Vodafone website.
The Nokia N97 is available in Australia to buy outright and will shortly be offered on a plan with Optus and Vodafone. The price was thought to be around $1300 but it’s possible to pick one up a bit cheaper than this. Techoni mobile phones have the N97 for sale at $939.
We outlined the Nokia N97 features last month. The device is promoted as a mobile computer, not just a phone. The home screen can be personalised by selecting widgets from a variety of sources including Australian local content from partners such as News Ltd. The content is displayed in six positions on the home screen and as well as providing updating information they can also link to mobile websites for applications such as Facebook.
A range of applications is available from Nokia’s Ovi Store or pre-installed on the phone. The N97 is the first phone to be shipped with the Ovi store. Another first is the relevance engine which personalises the content in the store depending on the user’s history and location.
The Nokia N97 has HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, a Full QWERTY slideout and tilt keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera and 32GB of internal storage plus the option to expand this using microSD memory cards.
