N97 mini作为诺基亚的辉煌转折点以及其更好的做工和性能，在当时是一款非常火的机器。我的室友当时就是签的这款手机，我的第一个合约也是这个机型（沃达丰$29合约）只不过那台机器刚拿到手就原封卖掉了（当时我在用iPhone 4）。后来在eBay上遇到一家清仓的dealer，买到了这台原封带锁的豪华导航版，包装里除了手机还有原装的车充和吸盘支架，在这个安卓iPhone满天飞的世界，这个2009年才推出的手机早已被尘封了。
N97 mini, paramount of the generation with S60 and touchscreen, along with its solid build quality and performance, was a pretty popular, even until 2011. My roommate's using N97 mini until iPhone 5 came out and my first contract was come with N97 mini as well. Although I decided to put that phone on eBay for bidding since I've already switched to iPhone 4. Few years later I found a clearance store on eBay selling this N97 mini in deluxe package with car charger and phone holder. Just few years, N97 mini was outdated and useless.
N97 mini的电阻触屏应该算的上是蛮好用的那一类，小巧的机身却拥有较高的屏占比。侧滑键盘非常好用，配合搜狗输入法发短信再合适不过了（只可惜那个时代已经过去）。卡尔蔡司镜头的500万摄像头直接碾压当今使用500万像素摄像头的低端安卓手机，和iPhone 4相比差距也不明显。
N97 mini's resistive touchscreen is the kind of that is usable compare to multitouch screens. Small footprint with relatively large screen. Side slide keyboard is good. It is a dream to use it to chat via SMS with friends (with 3rd party input method installed, of course). 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens is even better than low-end smartphones in 2015 with 5PM main camera and is still a competitor with iPhone 4 in this aspect.
