At first glance, the Nokia N97 can do-it-all, literally featuring every cell phone functionality Nokia has come out with to period. But a specific feature will cause owners of that phone to be more careful with their stuff (and, not to mention, the phone itself).

You see, the N97 uses a proprietary port for both its USB cable and charger (which is weird, since Nokia agreed to implement standard USB for future phones). that means older Nokia chargers won’t work with the phone—unless the bundled adapter is used. At least that means the phone can additionally draw potential through a computer’s USB port.

At least the adapter accepts the older, thicker charger-pin, and the much thinner one found in newer models. that should serve as warning for N97 owners to keep track of what comes with their phone, considering whether they lose the included charger and adapter, they’ll have no choice but to rely on the USB cable for charging, buy a new charger from Nokia (which comes at a price of course).

Unless of course, that new USB-based charging format represents Nokia’s plans for future models. You never know.
