Nokia unveils flagship N97 phone

[Ol3s]

If I didn't already have the iphone I would seriously consider this phone. This has everything the iphone is missing. I remember how much I loved the symbian operating system on my N70, it was so straight forward. Anyway this phone probably has engage, to counter the appstore, 32gb compared to 16, same screen, real keyboard and a better camera

This looks nice, but I'm waiting to see the e63 in person.

I've been playing with it. Not bad.


I just bought the new Nokia XpressMusic 5800. It's basically an iPhone, except the touchscreen is sliiiightly worse than an iPod's, but the screen quality is excellent overall, and everything else about it is better than an iPod, so I'm not exactly crying. It has an 8 GB memory built-in, and a memory card slot to take that further. It also has everything else I want, such as a remote to attach to my earphones. It also cost me $300 less than an iPhone would have outright (in Australia.......would have been different with 3 Mobile in HK).

Not sure what this Nokia is called in North America.

Lightning fast? What are you, a turtle? I've had every high end Nokia phone for the last 7 years up to the N96, of which I had 3 and had to return them all for defects. S60 is S L O W. FP2 is better, but still slow. Now remember, i am comparing this to the iPhone. In no way can S60 be considered lightning fast.

Unless you're a turtle....

I like turtles.






Yeah, the phone looks nice, but I'll keep my iPhone, thanks. But I do agree that those specs are nice. I wish the iPhone has a better camera - the one it has is rubbish. Video recording is nice too!

That looks like iPhone killer but i doubt that actually.. It does look really great but iPhone is still better imho..
