Review Summary

More info

It's simple to use, it's elegantly tiny, it has real buttons, and it's no small fry in the features department. Oh, yes, it doesn't look like any Samsung or any designer phone out there for that matter. What's not to like?

The Ultra Edition 12.1 is not only stylish and fashionable, it comes with a decent feature set, too. But the handset is not without its flaws.

A worthy successor to the popular Chocolate series, the ultra-chic design of the KU970 will appeal to both sexes, but its average Joe feature set and dodgy scroll wheel don't impress. If you can forgo 3G and HSDPA connectivity, the KE970 looks like a better choice with a microSD expansion card slot.

While this isn't the most advanced handset out there, it has a strong casing, a decent all-round feature set and an elegant, straightforward design. This is Nokia at its best.
