Expert on mobile phones, having worked in the industry for over 7 years.
The Nokia N97 Mini is here! But is it good enough to outdo the Symbian phones already available? Let's find out.
Samsung i8910 HD
First up, there's the Samsung i8910 HD, and it has one big advantage over the other two phones on this list. Whilst it has an 8 megapixel camera, the Samsung i8910 HD is also the first phone to record true 720p HD video. Never before has a phone been able to capture video at that massive high resolution, and coincidentally (or is it coincidence? Maybe not...), the Samsung i8910 HD captures high-def video at the exact quality that Youtube display high-def videos at. It's very possible that the Samsung i8910 HD was designed with its main feature being the ability to get yourself on Youtube, in high-definition. Combine that with the sumptuous 3.7 inch screen, and a huge 8Gb of internal memory, and it's very clear that the Samsung i8910 HD is the one to go for if you want the best camera phone.
Sony Ericsson Satio
There's no doubting the sheer power of the Sony Ericsson Satio. First and foremost on its list of awesome features is its key selling point: the Sony Ericsson Satio is the first phone announced for the UK to have a 12 megapixel camera. It also features technology culled from the Cyber-Shot range of phones, so, quite simply, the Sony Ericsson Satio is the single best camera phone in existence. However, it also has true smartphone credentials, as it features the new Symbian S60 Touch OS, giving it a sleek interface, bags of power, and the option to add on loads of third party software. It is, frankly, an astounding phone!
Nokia N97 Mini
So, there's the Samsung i8910 HD, with HD video capture. And there's the Sony Ericsson Satio, with a gorgeous 12MP camera. And now, they have a new rival, the Nokia N97 Mini. One of the big reasons why the Nokia N97 Mini is so anticipated, and why it'll no doubt sell like hotcakes, is that it really IS the N97, but in a more pocket-friendly size. The exact same operating system, Symbian S60 Touch, gives the Nokia N97 Mini a finger friendly interface, and on top of that, the phone has a built in QWERTY keyboard, so it has more ways to access the phone than ever before. It's not just about the interface, though, as the Nokia N97 Mini is packed with high-end features. A 5 megapixel camera makes for superb photos, the multimedia playback is stunning, and with HSDPA and GPS, it's not short of connectivity options. But is it the best Symbian phone money can buy? Well, no. It's nice, but it's just that the other two phones on this list are so much nicer.
