Ovi comes packed with over 20,000 titles from launch, including both free and paid applications and also podcasts, wallpapers and ringtones.

N97 for the first time pairs a 3.5 inch touchscreen with a QWERTY keyboard in a Nokia handset. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard is a full 3-row. The smartphone transforms from a touch slate to a landscape QWERTY device.

The phone offers a powerful 32GB memory with microSD for adding 16GB more (making it a staggering 48GB), 5 megapixel camera (with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash), support for Nokia's N-Gage gaming system and handwriting recognition.

Industry is expecting an aggressive pricing of Rs 33,000 for the handset.
