                              Nokia most create, improve or use a new OS. They're back in front of Google Android, Iphone OS and new palm WebOS.

                                    Samsung looks not as classy as the N97, also the lens isnt covered, the batt cover is so cheap, and do not fix well, its a luxury device without any class at all!!! at least Iphones and Nokia make nice looking devices, that are reliable and strong! im sura u drop that Omnia and un screen is gone with the wind!

                                        The n97 video... is actualy a video of the new "n97 mini" take a look at the spacing between answer & reject keys... and qwerty keyboard no longer flips out... + no camera lens cover... the one on the old nokia n97 was scratching the lens...!
                                        anyway lets hope they both share the same software... & that we who bought the n97 get a well worth update...!
