The device comes equipped with 128 Mb of RAM, after first launch you will get around 70 Mb of free memory at your disposal, which is enough for running a dozen applications and browsing “heavy” web-pages.

The user almost has 32 Gb of storage available, where any data can be stored.

The N97 deals with microSD memory cards (hot-swappable), although the phone doesn’t come packaged with one. There are no restrictions as far as memory card’s size is concerned – our handset easily identified a 32Gb card.

Increased RAM size, 369 MHz ARM11 CPU and, as it appears, TI OMAP chipset (we haven’t looked inside the N97 yet) – all these things make it even speedier compared to the Nokia 5800. I don’t think the N97’s CPU has much to do with its blazing-fast menus, though, probably it’s more due to RAM.
