The N97 looks great and until today I bet that lots of people were getting their budgets approved in order to get it. But today is a sad day for all those of us that fell in love with Nokia’s new flagship phone. The handset seems ready to disappoint us with a weak ARM 11 processor running at only 434MHz. That’s only 65MHz more than the 5800 XpressMusic and surely not enough for our mobile needs. The N97 comes with an impressive price tag so we were expecting a much better processor. Let’s not forget that the Pre clocks at around 600MHz or that the BlackBerry Bold launched last year has a 624MHz processor. I won’t even mention the TG01 which will be dazzling us with a 1GHz processor. Whoops, I just did! So let us hear the defendant speak! Nokia?
