N97
On December 1st, Nokia announced the release of their latest handset in the Symbian 60 N-series line, the N97. The phone is being compared to iPhone because of its touch-screen, however it differs from the iPhone in that it also offers a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

N96
The sequel to the N95 was much less well-received by critics, who often cited weakness in the browser and lack of true feature upgrades from the N95 as its major weaknesses.

N95
The N95 was the original SmartPhone success case (also dubbed in the media at that time as a "feature phone"), it was the most feature-rich smartphone ever created at the time of its 2006-09-26 launch on 2007-03-. It was one of the first to support progressive as well as real-time adaptive-bitrate streaming of audio and video (HTTP/RTSP/RTMP), Live Streaming of audio and video, face-to-face videoconferencing via the video camera, multiple widely-used media formats, rich document editing (word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, pdf), high quality email, web browsing and a large variety of apps & games. It was the reference device upon which YouTube built its first Mobile Video service in 2006-2007, and upon which Pandora built its Online Radio Mobile Streaming service.
