In UK the 3G S is more expensive than N97.
3GS costs £538.30 for 32 GB on o2.
N97 Costs £499.99 (32 GB unlocked!!!)
On a contract 3G S is more expensive too.
On an 18 month contract 3GS costs £175.19 on £44.05/month o2 tariff (trustedreviews.com News)
The N97 (18 month)is FREE on £45/month contract (Vodafone.co.uk)
Now many ppl may not like Vodafone but im sure N97 will cost less with other carriers considering the big price differnce between the two

Compass ?
The biggest drawback on on iphone is that when it hangs (some instruments very often) one has to wait till the battery drains and the recharge to make a call !!! what the F!!! In an emergency, if u r using an iphone and the phone hangs u r as good as a sitting duck !!

wat is the advantage of getting this phone?
camera?
there r phones with much better cameras if u wna take pictures and a lot better video recording capabilities.
memory?
nope n97 has 32gb and is expandable up to 64gb. some manufacturers might add dual memory card expansion soon
audio?
nope just like ipods, there r phones with better audio quality. some hv surround sound. and natural sound engine like omnia hd
video?
nope. there r other phones with more dpi and some with larger screens. quality on these r amazing.
smartphone?
it cant even multitask - still!
touchscreen capabilities?
fading away. others r starting to use or hv started using capacitive. palm pre and a few lg phones also support multitouch. and neonode phones were even more responsive thnx to using optical touchscreen in 2002 - but the company is now bankrupt
OS & UI?
even the OS is not as good as the competition now. palm pre has a better OS - congratz to them 4 working since 2005 on it, and it shows. other companies r quickly catching up.
Apps?
yes but just buy ipod touch - its a lot cheaper and u can buy a better phone. better yet, after 2yrs, u wud still hv paid less than iphone 3gs.
style?
yes but just look at other phones as well like lg dg900 (crystal) with a transparent keypad. it looks better than this. it also packs more features in a smaller phone. however, owning an iphone has become a fashion statement. just the apple logo is the only thing the competition doesnt hv

only those of you who cant afford a iphone say its a waste of money. Had a 2g and 3g and cant wait for the 3gs in South Africa and believe me we pay a lot more for it there than in the USA. Best touch screen phone on the market. nothing comes close.

Apple really failed with this one...like how you make an identical phone with a few more features same design and call it 3Gs that's foolishness,btw what CPU will this phone have? And no Flash support? NO,thanks
