This is the most terrible phone I have evr had the misfortune to buy. All I know hate it aswell.
I HATE THIS DAMN USE3LESS PHONE
Cant answer, when you do, it locks out, and you MUST have 2 hands to use the stupid thing. The buttons on the side are useless. I HATE THIS DAMN PHONE. I used to be able to answer, scroll and operate using one hand with my Sony Ericson. But they senta KILL signal out and all those phones were zapped.
This stupid, useless, slow, hopeless phone is a true nightmare.

i agree, the keyboard i reckon fits better, than a touch pop-up keyboard, the press and feel of a button, is very familiar and satisfying compared to the touching. Apple has an update, were you can now search for anything on your ipod, making it easier to find. most importantly nokia’s primary buisness is mobile phones, were as apple is a newcomer, so comparing them is a win for the iphone

You can notice how Nokia is slower than iPhone in this coparison . . this slowness is Nokia thing, and I don’t know why they cannot solve it.

Both are cool, iPhone has countless apps, Nokia still growing.

@magochapin the iphone has a lot more apps but the n97 is a grate phone and ovi store isnt that bad, NO THAT BAD jeje but there is alot of third party suppor for symbian. Besides the n97 comes with some cool apps preinstalled, to name a few: qik, joiku spot and the included widgets. let me know what you think or if you have any questions cheers

@AngretLord the pros and cons of the n97, iphone o both? i would happily comment. I will say something about the video, the qwerty keyboard on the n97 has more than enough feedback and the space bar is located in a more ergonomic position people are fixated on a computer keyboard that is why the see something wierd when the space bar isnt located the same way.
To me the iphone is messy, all the apps are just laying in there. I have like 7pages of apps and sometimes it takes me a longtimetofind

What you guys seems not to understand is that the Iphone is basically an ipod, with Call and messaging features, including a camera. The reason why it is better, is because it just looks beautiful, everything is nicely presented, and it is very Easy to use. also the applications cost like a $1. i Dont have a N97 so i cannot advise on the better one. i would like to discuss some pro’s and con’s with someone

Im planning to buy a n 97.
The iphone is ok but Nokia has always been better, I have a n 78 (the worst of the N series) and is a great phone -at least for me- so I wonder, if the N 78 is great, how good will the n 97 be? The qwerty keyboard is a plus, I hate to type on the iphone’s screen
