Well, this is from a Malaysian who bought this from Russia. Here is the sad part, he does not know Russian and since he is in Malaysia, he cannot test WiMax.

Here are few quotes from his review,

The specs of the device is pretty much a beefed up htc Diamond. Bigger screen (3.8″), widescreen resolution (640×800), lots of memory (8GB+microSD expansion). Of course, it comes with WiMAX apart from the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and GSM/EDGE connectivity.

The htc Max lives up to it’s name. It’s big, heavy and thick.

You can call anyone within Yota network using WiMAX instead of GSM.

I couldn’t enjoy the full benefit of using Yota’s services, nor could I enjoy the phone due to my poor Russian (hahaha…). The phone is a little large for most people’s preference, but the big screen certainly is better than the tiny Diamond. But this device certainly sets a benchmark for all WiMAX devices to come.

We posted about the white touch Diamond a couple of months back, but we could see it in flesh. One of the visitors of my website sent me the link to the dailymobile.se who have pictures of the Touch Diamond white.

I still find the black version prettiest. May be thats me.

Other than the change in color, nothing else has changed. Of course, you get a matching white stylus to go with the white color and that is where the differences end.

Thanks Jake for the tip!

No no! This is not a HTC Tilt. Look carefully. It is the new Nokia N97. Nokia N97 is the new N-series phone from Nokia, which also sports a touch-screen!

It has 360 x 640 resolution (where do you get these numbers?) touchscreen. It also has haptic feedback along with the following:

• 5 megapixel camera (with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash),
• A-GPS and compass sensors
• comprehensive connectivity options (WiFi, tri-band HSDPA, Bluetooth and USB)
• 32GB of internal flash memory.

My friend, who was there at the launch event, was able to get a hands-on the N97 and has said that they slide mechanism is very nicely designed. It keyboard flushes with the unit and the whole unit then feels like one part.

Here is the Press Release: Continue reading “Presenting Nokia N97”
