Gallery: Nokia N97 – your future netbook?

The Nokia N97, a device that Nokia calls a “smart computer” made its debut at NokiaWorld in Barcelona on Tuesday. The $695 N97 is Nokia’s attempt to fill the gap between a smartphone and a laptop, according to Larry Dignan. nn

Matthew Miller says the Nokia N97 either brings a QWERTY keyboard and touch screen to Nokia’s N-series or brings a phone and S60 to the Nokia Internet Tablet.nn
