It was not possible to place all the keys for the inventor of the Nokia N97 Mini smartphone. Therefore, so that there are no missing characters, they are placed as if inside a key. The main colors are marked in black and the secondary ones in blue. Using the blue diagonal arrow on the right, you can print a hidden letter, sign, or number. To make it easier to move the cursor on the screen, a joystick is provided on the left. Its internal button, in fact, is Enter, which is more suitable for the Internet. For text programs, the same key is provided as for the large keyboard.

A little more about the capabilities of the smartphone instead of the conclusion
