Review: Nokia N97 - So Close, Yet So Very, Very Far.

Oh, Nokia N97. I wanted to touch you from the first time I Iaid eyes on you. You seemed like everything I wanted in a handset. You'd be the phone that surmounted the shortcomings of every smartphone before it. You were to be the mobile masterpiece. At least, I thought you were. I've had the Nokia N97 for roughly 3 weeks now. Usually, we push out our reviews after just a week or so with the device - but I just couldn't bring myself to sit down and review this one. Why? Because I thought I was missing something. There just had to be something I was overlooking - some setting, some application, just something that would earn this handset its pre-allotted spot in my pocket. I wasn't missing anything.
