Nokia’s N97 Mini, an offspring of the older N97, packs in a few killer features.

Sporting both a touchscreen and a physical keypad, N97 Mini has a chic design and weighs148 gms. The N97 Mini has a slightly smaller 3.2 inch screen than the N97’s 3.5 inch but you also get a compact form-factor in return.

The key presses are close to perfect, while you are tweeting or writing a lengthy email. The latter can be seen on the larger screen with TV-Out capabilities of Nokia N97 Mini.

However, it’s the touchscreen on the Nokia N97 Mini where the problems start. Nokia’s ageing user interface, Symbian, dampens the fun. When compared with Nexus One or the iPhone, the touchscreen simply fails to hold its ground. But a kinetic scrolling feature provides some much-needed tickle to N97 Mini’s touchscreen. The internal memory is 512MB, which can be expanded to 8GB with a micro SD slot. Still, it looks stingy on a phone that is supposed to be your one-stop entertainment device.

A vital part of the N97 Mini is the bundled applications and the Nokia music store is its most impressive feature. In addition to that, there is the usual Nokia Maps 2.0. It’s also the first Nokia device to sport Lifecasting — a new partnership between Facebook and Ovi. Lifecasting enables users to update their Facebook status directly from the device’s homescreen. Your location details can also be updated as you move about, thanks to the GPS sync, enabling a whole new level of social sharing and communication.

At Rs 30,939, Mini is not going to be easy on the pockets. But if you want a mini PC-like mobile phone, go for it.
