Here’s James’ initial thoughts:

The industrial design is pretty cool; with an extremely satisfying *click* when you open it… PLUS it takes the BP-4L Battery, which is the same one as the E61i and the E71… ie: The largest battery that Nokia make – so that’s good to know.

Performance wise – I’m tempted to leave opinions until I have a more up to date version. The handset itself isn’t due out until Q3 this year so the software was buggy and not massively responsive… that aside, I was still quite impressed with it and am seriously considering it as my N95 successor…

We shall see, eh? Is anyone else contemplating an N97 purchase?
