We kid our MobileTechRoundup co-host about his addiction to mobile phones, an addiction even greater than my own. Matt Miller readily admits his addiction is real, but it’s not a bad thing, as he readily shares his experiences with all of these phones with us. His latest conquest is the Nokia N97, the latest superphone from those folks in Finland. Matt has a full review to fill us in about the new phone, along with his usual nice video touches. How does he like the N97? It seems he likes it overall, but was surprised at the amount of memory installed:

Where is my memory? While the N97 does come with integrated 32GB of Flash memory (about 29GB available) there is very little ROM RAM on the device. I saw only 37.9MB of Flash ROM when I went to install my first program and was blown away by this low amount. My Nokia E71x has a whopping 100MB available for application installation and I think this is PATHETIC for the N97. This may get to be an issue with all of the widgets that have to run on the home screen and I just don’t understand why Nokia would limit the ROM RAM so much. I understand it is a cost thing, but for $699 there really should be NO limitations on the device, right?
