48 hour battery log with the Nokia N97

Rico, who writes The Gadget Blog and his personal site, Technogra.ph was able to provide us with a detailed experience of the battery wear and tear for the new Nokia N97. The lucky schmuck won it in a raffle when the phone was launched.

He details every account when something new happens to his phone — text messages sent and received, data, WiFi, music playback — everything. It really is safe to say that the Nokia N97’s battery life has gone a long way since the N95, providing us with more than 2 days worth of battery.

At this point, it makes me wonder how netbooks can only last with 4-6 hours of battery while devices such as the N97 can last for more than two days, doing so much more.

Making of the Nokia N97

An insightful video production on the logic, blood, sweat and tears behind the making of flagship Nokia N97.

What I found most intriguing was the philosophy behind the design for the sliding screen. Nokia wants to spell out authenticity in defining their products and they showed this from the very act of defining what sound the phone should make when you slide out the screen to reveal the keyboard. Brilliant!
