The Nokia N97 mini is an extremely sociable little critter, letting you share your experiences, broadcast your thoughts and even your location, simply by tapping its high-res 3.2-inch touchscreen. The N97 mini is smaller and a pinch smarter than its big brother (it now features smoother kinetic scrolling for faster and easier browsing). Your homescreen can be personalised to focus on your network of friends and family. Or you can tweak it to be a multimedia hub focusing on its 5MP camera, video recording and tunes from the Nokia Music Store, or a powerful workhorse with HSDPA Flash web browsing, office documents and a host of communications options. Or all of the above! The N97 mini is flexible, too, with thousands of new applications to reach out and touch on the Ovi Store. All this, plus a kick-out QWERTY keyboard, 8GB of memory (expandable to 24GB) and smart GPS skills, including local weather forecasts, and dynamic content from Lonely Planet and Michelin.

What they say

“The Nokia N97 Mini has a pleasant feel in the hand, light but still solid”

  • Today, there are thousands of lifecasters broadcasting some or all of their daily lives using organised networks like Justin.tv.

 

  • Recently, lifecasters have started to incorporate geo-location data in their feeds.

 

  • Digital lifecasting is not to be confused with the artistic process of lifecasting, which involves making a 3D copy of a living human being.
