Nokia N97 to hit 75 countries this month

HELSINKI, FINLAND: The world's top cellphone maker Nokia announced on Tuesday that its flagship mobile computer, Nokia N97, will begin selling in June in more than 75 countries.

Along with a tilting 3.5" touch display, QWERTY keyboard and a fully customizable home screen, the Nokia N97 will offer instant access to the full range of Ovi services, said a press release.

"The Nokia N97 is an important step towards our vision of delivering a highly personalized Internet experience," said Jonas Geust, vice president and head of Nokia N series.

"Fuelled by a multitude of music, maps, games, media and applications via Ovi, the Nokia N97 transforms the Internet into an experience that's completely tailored to the tastes and interests of its owner," he added.

Nokia said N97 is Nokia's first device to feature a personalizable home screen, which can be customized with a range of widgets which bring live information directly to the device.

These widgets include key social networking destinations like Facebook and Hi5, news services like the Associated Press, Bloomberg and Reuters, as well as shopping and weather information, add the release.

According to Nokia, N97 is the first device to ship with the Ovi Store, which offers easy access to applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web and location-based services. Ovi Store has paid and free content from a range of global and local content providers and developers, including Paramount Pictures, Facebook and Qik, as well as a selection of Twitter applications.

Nokia N97 also has direct access to the huge catalogue of music in the Nokia Music Store.

As with any computer, people can constantly improve and refresh their Nokia N97 with new features, functions and fixes so they can do even more with the device, the release added.

Nokia said a roadmap of new features and functions is planned to roll out in the second half of 2009.
