Yeah, I have to second that. When I held a n97, I didn't think it was worth all the cash I had to plop down. At least SE use really quality materials for the casing... The N97 feels really cheap with all that plastic. My X1 felt much more solid and tight compared to it. Not to mention... The N97 was too late to the market.

      Nokia is better than Samsung ? LOL. Samsung is 2nd world's largest semi conductor. the Omnia HD is a luxury phone and 10x better than that bulky crap n97

                          I don't know why everyone is getting so aggressive over which phone is better. It is nice that both Samsung & Nokia are doing major updates to their top of the line phones. Both phones are great, I personally had a N97 at first but switched over to I8910 and never looked back since.
