Do you know that the Nokla E97 is a good looking handset? Certainly, with a 2.2-inch touchscreen, effects could get ugly actual fast if the UI isn’t equal to snuff — and we’re speculating it ain’t.

And in no doubt, the detachable keyboard gives the impression of being a little flimsy — but on the whole, not too scruffy for 800 yuan, or approx $117 (before you feature in the flight to China, evidently).

The handset also features– dual SIM card slots, handwriting recognition, dual SIM card slots, an MP3 player and FM radio. But actually, with a gadget resembling this, what are you meant to pay for is the rank and reputation coupled with the Nokia brand. And how may you put a price tag on that?
