Not all of it is plain jane plastic. There are metal inserts around the screen, hinge and camera lens cover.

Anyhow, to answer your question, there is no stylus built into the phone, but one will be included in the box for Asian markets.

Oh, that makes sense. Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I love hand writing recognition. Thanks for the quick response btw, though a shame that they couldn't include it in the body of the phone...

Well, you'll probably end up buying one from an HK/European store anyway since it'll be 2010 before Nokia release the N97a for us Yanks.

Saw the video walkthrough of the phone over at Engadget and all I have to say is "meh".
Interface's crappy.
Also, there's nothing revolutionary about this phone (at all). You'd expect more from a new N-series flagship.

So so so true, and sad... Though I read else where that they would be releasing a version for NA just after the European release. Whatever the case I won't be buying another phone for a while (just bought the X1), so it'll work out fine for me in the long run. :/

Funny you should mention this. I'm very curious if an OpenC or C++, or even a PyS60 app could take advantage of this?! We're beginning to see multimedia usefulness of touchscreen interaction of our PC's (Win7 & HP Touchsmart X2 & IC-840), and on our smartphones. Although this would be nice to be able to digitally hand write a signature to a legal document on your smartphone - and sent it off in an encrypted email - to a specific person to identify you.

@Marc,

Hi you doing old buddy? I activated 3 BB 9530's (Verizon) users last week on our Domino 7.01 server with ease - ease being the loose term because learning curve for touch was very hard for these old time BB users.

I gotta agree/dis-agree with you on the perception that the N97 is not a business phone. Sure although it not marketed as such - it has serious potential with that built-in hardware QWERTY keyboard. I'll mention why.

Nokia's agreements for the past 4mths make this N97 a serious potential for a business phone. Exchange ActiveSync support for over 40 different S60 phones has solidified the S60 as a mobile office contender, and futhermore with Lotus Traveller coming to the S60 this month - Domino Server Replication & SameTime collaboration for real-time corporate IM then only application interfaces or corporate specific applications support is needed - along with mobile security over the air. It remains interesting how Lotus Traveller will do on S60 3rd Edition - but for 5th Edition on the N97 would be very interesting.

* VoIP support for PBX on CISCO or Avaya is already been done by BOTH companies for S60 3rd Edition.

* Webkit browser just about fully supports most corporate internet sites; intranet sites would have difficulty for ADS authentication (can be adjusted) & corporate intranet mobile sites (like remedy 5/6/7 over MDS for BB) also may have issues.

* PDF viewing is very sufficient - I don't see WM excelling in this field as Adobe makes PDF Lite 2.5 for both systems.

* Excel, Word, PowerPoint editing again are on par for WM, BB & S60 - nothing I've read/seen/heard compare for iPhone-Mac OS. The BB has no PowerPoint editing - unless your willing to spend $100US for a particular editing suite (I've heard of 3 competitors in this space before OS 4.5 was conceived publicly).

* SAP is coming to the Blackberry platform - but I feel that the trackball navigation is very limiting with such a mobile implementation. I'd really like to see Nokia & SAP collaborate.

I'm sure there is still such a breadth of scope for S60 applications that can satisfy the N97 as a corporate device even if trialled like the E71 can.

No one is saying that there is anything wrong with the phone.Its a great phone, but got less hype than the one XPERIA got after its announcement. What i am trying to say is that it brings nothing new to the market.And those who are saying that its a multimedia phone and not an E90 successor, without knowing the RAM and the proccy info, we cant really speculate.

But if you put it the other way and try to reason that the E90 is non touch and the successor should be a non-touch with a flip design I guess you may have to wait longer for a true successor.N97 is a direct competitor to the XPERIA and the TOUCH PRO and when it arrives in the market, should be for a couple more devices, including android. i think Samsung should have more things up its sleeve in a couple of months.



Isnt the keypad too small??
