Guardian: Nokia says it has unveiled “the world’s most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other.”

The N97 has a 640 x 360 pixel 3.5 inch touch screen and a slide-out qwerty keyboard. As expected, it runs Symbian S60, and is Ovi- and N-Gage-compatible.

The N97′s key innovation is the introduction of So-Lo. Nokia says: “The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of ‘social location’. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is”.

The N97 will be released next year with 32GB of memory at an estimated €550.
