Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970More news SonyEricsson has announced a 12 megapixel Symbian touchscreen phone.

So why are you recommending a 2nd rate phone like the N97 as a suitable upgrade for iPhone users when there will be far better alternatives.

If the features of the N97 were that important to me that I'd consider changing to it, why wouldn't I get one of the better phone's?

    Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970The bigger news of the week is the N97 has been comprehensively trounced by the Samsung Omnia HD.

    8 megapixel, HD video recording, HDMI out, capacitive(?) touchscreen.

    If I wanted Symbian I wouldn't bother with the Nokia.

    I'll just stick with my iPhone.

            Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I do agree that the N97 shows a lot of potential to be an iphone killer. But so did a lot of touchscreen phones that came out before the N97 that included features that's missing on the iphone. So I don't think anyone can be sure that the N97 is indeed an iphone killer, until it finally comes out. Features is one thing, user experience is another. And user experience is where the iphone trumps all of them.

            The iphone still has some advantages over the N97 that are noteworthy and important. To name some:

            1. Capacitive touch (N97 uses resistive) - capacitive has more pros than cons than resistive. Sorry, but the stylus is more of a turn off than a likable feature.
            2. Scratch-proof glass display (N97 uses plastic) - The N97's screen would look cheap and easily scratched compared to the iphone's beautiful and sturdy glass display.
            3. Safari and OSX- already known to be the best, if not one of the best, mobile web browsers and OS out there. We're not sure yet with the N97's because it's not out yet.
            4. MP3 - It's already known to be the best, if not one of the best, MP3 players out there. Nokia's Tube did not turn out to be at par with the iphone's mp3, I doubt if the N97's would, but we'll see.
            5. The App Store - it has over 20,000 available apps right now, and still growing (some apps fill in for the iphone's missing features).
            6. Integration of services - for legit iphone users, this gives us the EASE and CONVENIENCE in acquiring services that's almost none existent in other phones (app store, itunes, at&t)
            7. Built, Quality and Design- the iphone has a more solid and sturdy feel and look compared to the N97 that I'm sure would again be creaky and too plasticky. Quality is very important to a lot of users. The physical qwerty is good, but then, that is not what being a FULL touchscreen phone, like the iphone, is all about.
            8. Multi-touch - I need not elaborate on this one. We all know that this is a winner feature.

            So, is the N97 the real iphone killer (for the 1,000th time)? I really doubt it, but we'll see.

                  how can you say the touchscreen is well done?
                  it is not out yet, you never tried it for long period.
                  your judging a phone with no experience on it...
                  haha seems pretending you know more.

                                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I was thinking of the 5800 but did not like that fact that it does not have threaded messaging. Also did not like the fact that a period was not added after pressing double space. How is the messaging on the 5800 compared to the iphone does it auto correct errors as good as the iphone?

                                    Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970How. Are you finding that tiny scroll bar at the side, it must be pretty annoying after using the flicking anywhere on the screen method of the iPhone.

                                    Not having pinch zoom must also be annoying.

                                    Now you can send MMS, have you sent many?

                                    How much does your carrier charge for each one?
