The long-awaited NOKIA N97 was finally released, but the HTC company has produced a decent opponent of the phone Touch Pro 2.
If you like large display and full retractable QWERTY-keyboard, then this review will help you to decide how to justify spending your money!
In N97, supports the operating system Symbian 60 v5, while Touch Pro is equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1 so if you have a preference for a particular operating system – the choice is clear.
Most of these models are with a sliding keyboard, both are quite large and although N97 is slightly smaller than Touch Pro 2, it looks bigger.
Both devices have nearly the same display size. Touch Pro 2 is slightly heavier (180 gr.) than N97 (150 gr.).
Display:
Both mobile phones use resistive touch screens, bright and good contrast. But they are far below from the communicators with capacitive screens: Apple iPhone or HTC Hero. Screen of Touch Pro is 800×480 pixels, compared with 640×360 for N97. But if you will watch videos or use the Internet you do not feel great difference.
Keyboard:
The keyboard represents the most significant difference between these models.
Nokia has placed the buttons in 3 lines; it has made it possible to increase the size of the buttons. HTC, is equipped with 5 line keyboard.
Buttons are quite large, and their pressing is smooth and pleasant. In fact, it is one of the best keyboards for mobile phones, which we have ever tested.
Operating system:
As it was mentioned above N97 runs Symbian 60 v5, and Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile 6.1. The first gives you the opportunity to add widgets to your homepage, which can provide information in real time such as: weather, currency rates, etc., and Touch Pro 2 got modified TouchFlo interface, which is now more customizable.
The debate on two different platforms will be going for a long time, but each has its advantages and disadvantages, ultimately it comes down to personal preference, but any user can configure one of OS himself/herself that contribute to their developers.
Memory:
For those who use the phone primarily as a multimedia device N97 with 32Gb memory will look more attractive than Touch Pro 2 with 512 Mb. Both communicators can increase their memory with the help of microSD-cards. Nokia is equipped with a standard 3.5 mm input for headphones, unlike its competitor with annoying mini-USB.
N97 has 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash while TP2 has 3.2 megapixel camera, and even without flash.
Battery:
Both models have battery with 1500 mAh, and will use the device without any problems at least a day, with an average load. Though, it should be mentioned that devices of this class need more powerful battery.
Conclusion:
Communicator from Nokia is suitable for modern man who likes to listen to music, keeps a large archive of multimedia in his/her mobile phone, makes high-quality images with the help of 5 megapixel camera. What about Touch Pro 2 – it is suitable for business man who likes excellent design, comfortable keyboard and display.
