Nokia N97 and N97 Mini Review: Camera and Multimedia Verdict
There were times when a 1.3 megapixel camera was considered to be good enough, but now that mobile phones with a 8 and 12 megapixel camera have been introduced, the trend has changed.
Considering the new smartphones released by Nokia, Nokia N97 and the Nokia N97 Mini, offer a fine and satisfactory camera at a reasonable price.
Since 8 and 12 megapixel cameras have now been introduced, Nokia N97 and N97 Mini’s having a 5 megapixel camera is not considered to be a special addition.

It will also have a built in Electronic Program Guide (EPG) making it easy for users to create personal channel lists.
According to reports, this device will probably be known as Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition and will be launched soon in Switzerland, Austria, Finland and Holland.

Apple Overtakes Nokia As The Most Profitable US Cell Phone Maker
Apple has no doubt, become the king of iPhones. Although there are many other phones having similar functionality of the multitouch smartphone, such as the Palm Pre and the Motorola Droid, but Apple has unstoppably ruled over all of them up until now.
A recent statement from an analyst firm, Strategy Analytics has authorized this, saying that Apple is now the single most profitable phone maker in the United States.
Although Apple’s iPhone series only encompasses a 2.5 percent market share, and there are just two iPhone models in the market currently, it is estimated that Apple has generated a profit of $1.6 billion through its smartphone division.
Nokia Recalls 14 Million Faulty Mobile Chargers
Nokia decided to recall more than 14 million cell phone chargers due to increased reports of electric shock from its consumers. This news came along another announcement stating official launch of it new Internet Tablet N900. This mobile cum internet tablet runs on Maemo 5( An Opensource fork of Debian-Linux Operating System).
Nokia did say that an exchange program has been started in order to exchange a certain number of Nokia-branded chargers, that were manufactured by a third party supplier. However, it is almost clear that the number of the affected chargers is around 14 million.
The problem starts when the plastic covers come loose, and tend to expose the internal components. This poses a great threat as it can potentially lead to an electric shock hazard, if anyone touches the charger while the charger is plugged into a live socket.
