Yet another cell phone would soon be launched in the Indian market. I was reading this blog and came across the announcement of the launch of new cell phones in India. Nokia, today, announced the release of two new mobile phones – N97 Mini and N900 in India. Each of the cell phone has its own impressive features. However, N900 seems to be a more fun phone.

Let’s see a bit about N97 -

Nokia N97 is a sleek looking and nicely designed cell phone. But that’s it. But on things other than these N97 doesn’t really score big. The keypad on the phone is not all that comfortable to use. The tiny keys can cause a lot of trouble.

So that was N97 for you. But interestingly, N97 would be advertised more widely than N900. The reason for this remains unknown to me. 

And now a quick peek into Nokia’s N900 -

This Nokia cell phone scores more than N97. Especially on the usability front. Unlike N97, the keypad is convenient and easy to use.  

One common thing the two phones, N97 and N900, have is the spacebar located on the right of the phones. When asked about this to the senior design manager, Mr. Jonne Harju, he told that the study says it is easier for one to use left thumb to press the spacebar key.

That makes it clear, N900 should be prefered over N97, but how good it will do in the market also depends on the pricing of it. The prices of both the cell phones have not been released. Also, Nokia promises to come out with many such interesting launches in 2010. And that all the releases are going to be different from each other. Hopefully Nokia stays on its words and we get to more many more nice, unique, with better functionality and, of course, reasonable cell phones.
