Nokia will inked up with Carl Ziess next week for its 12MP sensor chips.
And I'm so bad because I'm sharing this to everyone, Sorry Mam Arja.
P%nm is freaking out ;) drop dead
Look at the coming phones from Samsung and LG: 8 Mpix camera, Hd video recording,..etc. No surprise Nokia market is now 40% from 60% last year, and probably 20% next year ! Used to buy only Nokia, but now only Samsung !!!

you so cheap you know?? you keep saying Ericsson P800 is the 1st symbian phone that have been sold at you previous comment
It's wonderfull with N97, i like touchschreen, big memory, qwerty keyboard. But i'm really disappointed with camera and Its office document. Nokia MUST MAKE OFFICE DOCUMENT EDITING PHONE. I'm looking forward with 8MP camera, with optical zoom and touchschreen with office document editing...
looks very good.... too expensive.

P800 had qwerty, touchscreen and Symbian years ago.
Get your facts right, you can check at Symbian.com, which is Symbian's website.
Or Wikipedia.
I just realised how big this phone will be, largely resembling a brick. Not so bad for girls who have hand bags but what will the guys do? Are mens pockets even big enough? What if it looks so big in your pocket people mistake it for your anatomy?
Anonymous, 07 Feb 2009Nokia should make another version of N97 without KeyboardYou don't have to use the keypad, just use it as a touchscreen if you don't like it
phil, 07 Feb 2009are nokia planning on bringing out a 8MP camera touch screen phone?nokia already set the standard for camera phones so i don't know plus if you want 8.1 mp camera get a DigiCam

Anonymous, 07 Feb 2009640x480= VGA=DVD quality as referred to by Nokia.
There are a few HD standards.
I don't ... moreWe have HD channels here in canada man XD but i'm saying on a phone that's too early since HD just came out a few years ago and is still considered farely new DvD was out for so long so they had a chance to explore DvD quality ...but like i said HD is too new to the world and especially the mobile industry...the HD phones now are bogus
like look how long it took to make portable DvD players and then apply them to computers
so how long do you really think will take for HD to really be on a phone let alot portable ?
Anonymous, 07 Feb 2009Go take a look at Symbian.com, lot's of companies contributed to Symbian along with Nokia.
... moredo you calculate worldwide??
i don't think 1 country symbian phone sales can beat the worldwide symbian phone sale
