Nokia’s N97 is official, and looking lovely from every angle, but it’s easy to get carried away by the fact it’s the first touchscreen N-Series, and has a slide-out keyboard. There are more important features underneath, even if they’re largely unsung. Read on to find out why this will be the most important phone of 2009.

Question of the day: What do you want to see from Nokia World?
The Nokia World expo kicks off tomorrow, with a feast of Finnish-flavoued phone goodies on offer for the world to see. There’ll be seminars, a peep at what the Big N’s working on next, and maybe even a product launch or two. But what do you want to see? New N-Series, new N-Gage, new E-Series or the Tube 2?
Software faults plague Nokia N96
Customers grabbing Nokia’s new flagship N-series handset, the N96, have reported software faults as well as other problems. This is more than a little reminiscent of the software crashes that marred early batches of the N95, with many customers waiting months to upgrade to its long-awaited successor.
Nokia confirms touch-screen N-Series early next year
Nokia has confirmed it’ll launch a ton of touchscreen N-Gage games early next year, neglecting to mention that its only touchscreen phone is the 5800 XpressMusic, which doesn’t support N-Gage. That must mean there’s a finger-friendly N-Series just around the corner!
Nokia poised to unveil first touchscreen N-Series
Now the Tube, or 5800 XpressMusic, is official we’re looking forward to a proper touchscreen N-Series phone. How long will we have to wait? Not long, says Nokia.
