Mobile phone with camera is easy for us and it is so useful. We are dumb because use camera on phone? What a silly idea! I think your are more dumber than anyone else here.

Camera, camera, camera. Megapixels, megapixels, megapixels. That is all you hear from Nokia and Samsung users.
Here's the definition of a smartphone for Nokia and Samsung users. A smartphone is a camera, lol. They use their smartphones to take pictures every minute. The main function of their smarphones is taking pictures. LOL.
Nokia and Samsung users are St#pid =) Why? Because they could have bought a digital camera that would have way better results for half the price of the N96 or the Omnia. For people who make a big deal of megapixels and take so many pictures every day, it does not make sense not to get a better quality standalone camera. The only explanation is, Nokia and Samsung users are d@mb =)

[deleted post]Ha Ha Ha! Such things you also can write out.
Cool! Ya, thousand billions peoples in the world is being paid by Apple to use the iPhone! Ha! Ha! Ha! (Don't said grapes is sour if you can't get it)
iPhone is a great device and un-denied and I agree they do left out few basic phone function but it keep added back in every main release firmware. I never seen any phone manufacture do that, mostly only out for bugs fix and Apple not only streamline the product but added in lots of extra new features in every new firmware release.

anonymous, 17 Apr 2009hahahaha... ur this sentence "N97 is another N96" hv made u... moreI agree with Gigabyte.
N97 will be another crap like N96!
N97 is pack with FULL OWERTY keyboard, ya so? a good touch phone no need hardware keyboard. and N97 is so bulky and from recent video it is same slow! like 5800 XM. Unless it really improve in final launch, or else it will be another crap phone done by Nokia.
How many people will ever considered QWERTY keyboard phone? I believe QWERTY phone use in market is not even reach 1% of total phones people use in the world.
Those said N97 will be a big selling and successful of Nokia, I can guarantee said that it Won't!

2009 will be not the year of Nokia. I feel like that Nokia has become bit dull, less innovative & lack of realizing market trends.
Why the hell did they took this long to launch a 8 MP camera phone???
I think they should have launch N85 with a 8 MP cam. N86 looks boring, (but the white one looks bit better though!!) And the N97 will be another N96.......total disappointment. Still they have nothing to compete against upcoming Samsung OMNIA HD & Sony Ericcson idou. True.....5800 is a mega hit, but.....they need to do more, in order to continue the success of N Series and the rapidly growing "Touch Mania", to keep Nokia up!!!!!

it's funny how apple fans try to down other companies with their garbage crap. Dell out sells them on computers and Nokia still owns the majority of the cell phone market. Apple stocks was at the bottom until they change their marketing strategy buy selling a updated version of the same phone for a cheaper price and yet they still haven't top nokia. How about those apples. They only make one phone cause the risk of failure isn't as high. Funny still how the phone lacks to other phones except touchscreen. No flash and etc... Apple fans have lame excuses why they phone lack what other phones either already have or what features have been enhance. As soon as they get those features they've been lacking watch how they change up and see the benefits in them

* Remember Symbian is a group of programmer designing the OS not a propriety of own by Nokia, Nokia have the biggest share on it but it is not means only for Nokia, anyone business with it can out with it.
How many people actually use Symbian phone that will install lots of stuff? Mostly not, not much is superb advance user and IT knowledge. For me, Innov still success than N96 in terms of spec, speed, and quality build.

Apple will show what it is made of... Nobody is like Apple, it is a matter of time, if you want, but you will surely admit it. They sell so much even in this crisis times that their profit rises, and rises year after year. They never have profit drops like other companies, and actually no company has such an attitude as Apple do.

Anonymous, 17 Apr 2009profit drop 91% and 5800xm sale like crazy, it seems like 5... moreyou are 100% correct in your assessment. Nokia releases more phones than dogs have fleas. We all know what happened to the US car industry becausen they did the same thing with too many models and small distinctions.
I notice the amazing bias of this site to Nokia. When Nokia releases another ho hum model (like the E75 which is just an E71 with a second keypad and worse battery life) this site buzzes with the thought of more "alternatives". Nokia should read the word "alternatives" to mean "unneccessary cost" of producing a model that was not necessary. At least the 5800 was some innovation and you can see the high sales volumes of that model reflect that.
The customer is much smarter than is generally credited and will generally buy the best value for themselves.

profit drop 91% and 5800xm sale like crazy, it seems like 5800xm is where Nokia's major profit come from. maybe Nokia should consolidate its high end product line and definitely boost the hardware instead of making so many phone that are similar to each other.
Apple has only 1 phone and that one phone is all they need. it is good to have choice but too many of them will confuse the consumer.
personally I think Nokia should consolidate their high end product to 1~2 per form factor. and less of the in-between form factor. E66 and E71 is very good example. practical and essential. there is no need for any hybrid such as T9+qwerty.
Nokia high end should have Slider, qwerty, and touch, 2 model (stylish bussiness and fancy entertainment)for each formfactor. boost the hardware (376mhz CPU with less than 128MB internal memory is just not enough). We also need quart band 3G for traveler which also reduce the confusion of phone of different region.
software wise can have different preset for business vs entertainment but customer can alter what he or she need. also downloadable language support because people don't always use the language where they live and they may use languages from very different regions.
This is my little thought after using couple high end Nokia phone. I really like symbian system. it is not symbian has problem but Nokia need some smarter people to guide them or gather more user opinions

Haha, i read this article about the sales drops in Nokia this year. Just to show how large Nokia is compared to Apple. Nokias 2% sales drop in units in one year is equivalent to as many iPhones Apple have sold altogther since 2007. haha!! It wasn't a supposed to be funny article in the Industry Standard, but it sure as he*l was funny to me.

But Samsung is more out perform the Symbian actual power because Samsung never stingy on Hardware spec.
