Nokia N97 Now Available to US Consumers.
WHITE PLAINS, New York, -- One of the most highly anticipated devices of 2009 - the Nokia N97 - began selling in the U.S. today. With its live widget homescreen, the Nokia N97 allows consumers to know it as it happens, see and share the latest with their social networks, and access content, news and entertainment from around the world.
"We have seen the anticipation and excitement for the Nokia N97 build around the globe and across the United States since we announced it in December," says Alessandro Lamanna, Vice President, Sales, Retail, Nokia. "As the evolution of the mobile device continues, consumers are clamouring for a device that allows interactivity on another level. The Nokia N97 and its feature set - including its widgetized home screen - provide consumers with the mobile solution they've been looking for."
Personalizing a mobile device is taken to new heights with the power of the Nokia N97. Thanks to its live home screen widgets and 3.5-inch touch screen with full QWERTY, the Nokia N97 is a "living device," dynamically updating the consumer's information using real time, personal internet feeds. By incorporating widgets, like AccuWeather, that can live right on the device's homescreen, consumers are able to see the information they want without having to open the application - your news, your weather, your social networks, all as it happens.
As the first device to feature Ovi Store inside, consumers have direct access to thousands of pieces of mobile content and applications allowing them to truly personalize their Nokia N97. In addition to access to the coolest applications from The Associated Press, AccuWeather and a selection of Twitter applications, consumers can also take advantage of the latest Ovi services such as Nokia Maps, Ovi Share and more. Consumer will also be able to upgrade their device and receive new services on the fly as the Nokia N97 supports firmware over the air updates.
The Nokia N97 continues to deliver what consumers expect of Nokia Nseries devices - superior quality and leading features combined with a wide range of services creating an exciting and unique mobile experience for the consumer. This device comes with 32 gigabytes of internal memory with a microSD card slot for additional memory (up to 16 gigabytes), an nHD display with 16:9 true widescreen resolution, five megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and dual LED flash - making this the only device to carry for one's daily needs.
