"Maybe I've got a metal fetish, but there's just something about handling cool metal that makes me fall in love with a phone. I started with the Nokia N93, then (in approximate order) Nokia E90, Nokia E61i, Motorola Z10 and now the N97 mini, built to Eseries standards by those nice folk in the Nseries team. And, as part of my attempt to do real world comparisons between the best the Symb...

You may remember that the Nokia E90 shipped with a widescreen, hardware-accelerated 3D driving game, Global Race: Raging Thunder? Somewhat wasted on the 'business' device, many people quickly realised that it also worked after a fashion on the also-accelerated N95. However, the game ran like a turkey on other phones without the vital graphics chip. Until now. Raging Thunder has been rewo...

  "Rafe and I have often pulled out the 'hybrid' form factor as the one offering the best of all worlds. i.e. a screen that occupies most of the plan form factor of the phone, with a qwerty keyboard that does the same, made possible through a sliding, pivoting or folding mechanism. Yes, there's a level of mechanical complexity which might prove unreliable in the long run, but t...

Steve at All About Symbian puts on a battle of the full screen QWERTY hybrids. He explains: ‘In another of my periodic hardware head-to-heads, I pitch a variety of full-screen, full-qwerty hybrid smartphones against each other, ranging from the 3 year old Nokia E90, still supported but hard to find for sale now, through to

In another of my periodic hardware head-to-heads, I pitch a variety of full-screen, full-qwerty hybrid smartphones against each other, ranging from the 3 year old Nokia E90, still supported but hard to find for sale now, through to the N97 mini, the HTC Touch Pro 2 and the spanking new Motorola Milestone. Which devices punch the heaviest when the rubber really hits the road?

MIU's vaporware HDPC now looking like a Nokia E90, but less buyable The problem with your product not existing is that it's hard to make money off of it, and after a while, would-be buyers start to hate you and everything you stand for. On the plus side, redesign costs hover near zero, so why not play around and shoot for the moon with wild specs that we'll likely never have the opp...

The problem with your product not existing is that it's hard to make money off of it, and after a while, would-be buyers start to hate you and everything you stand for. On the plus side, redesign costs hover near zero, so why not play around and shoot for the moon with wild specs that we'll likely never have the opportunity to own? As far as we can tell, South Korea's MIU is no clos...

Here it is at last, my full hands-on Nokia N97 review. I'll give you the low-down on the good and points of the N97, as well as how well it works as a smartphone (which I'm in a good position to assess, having owned a Nokia E90 and now a T-Mobile G1). You might

What's this ominous-looking little black box? Seems to be a Nokia N97 box :) Have I switched from my T-Mobile G1 to an N97 already? Nope - I've just been sent a shiny new N97 to review, that's all (thank you, Nokia :) So, I have in my possession a T-Mobile G1, a Nokia E90 and
