One of N97s high point is its display – it’s covered by a thick plastic layer, although not recessed into the casing, so it can be handled in any way you please (with bare fingers or stylus). The N97 doesn’t come boxed with a stylus; but even without it, it is very finger-friendly, plus the QWERTY keyboard makes on-screen thumbboards superfluous.
At 3.5 inch diagonal (which is 0.3 inches bigger than the 5800’s screen), 16:9 aspect ratio, 16 million colors and 640×360-pixel resolution (43×78 mm), the N97’s screen is a true marvel.
Other features include automatic screen rotation – it takes the N97 around a second to re-align the display.
The phone’s display remains fairly legible under direct sunlight, although you might run into certain glitches regarding its readability, but nothing major – the iPhone has got just the same set of problems. The screen can accommodate up to 14 text and 3 service lines; all in all, the N97’s display is perfect for viewing images, videos and browsing long lists.
