Why do you apple fanboys still persist to argue a losing battle?

Apple is strictly eye candy zero performance devices, where as other companys are actually incorporating tomorrow technology into their phones, and even then they don't see nearly as much software faults as apple does.

Good work with the 3yr delay in SW updates to do what a 4yr old phone could do then.

    iPhone isn't even in the same league or genre as this phone. I don't even consider the iPhone a Smartphone. They should call it an app phone seeing as the hardware in it is ancient. I have a Nokia 3220 and it at least has video recording, geez apple, way to bring the 15th century back to life. I'm pretty sure Leonitis and Bartinian would love to buy your phone.

      You got no voice Guidance on the iphone. Nokia has voice guidance with it's nokia maps.

      Navigation without voice guidance is useless and dangerous if you're driving.

              Sonic, 02 Jun 2009Congratulations Nokia, you are starting with sales 18 month... moreIn both hardware AND software, Apple is superior to Nokia hands down. Its not about what the specs on paper look. Its about useability. Nokia phones are useless, a bunch of features but who uses Nokia Maps? Nobody. Who uses google maps on their iPhone, every iPhone user! Same goes for the browser. Nokia has features, but nobody uses them.

                    Congratulations Nokia, you are starting with sales 18 months to late. As the Iphone was released before 18 months. Not only that, the Iphone hardware remains superior to any nokia ever released.
                    To the nokia fanboys, I know that symbian is superior to the OSX mobile. I am talking about the hardware. Nokia should learn from Apple how to make perfect hardware.

                      Andrew Tan, 02 Jun 2009I check and compared both video at most review site post. I... morei have used it in person and it's slow cause of all the stuff they piled on it and the f act that samsung can't hold symbian properly

                      example INNOV8
                      IT uses the N96 version of S60 Symbian and it known for alot of problems

                        Mizuchi, 02 Jun 2009omina HD already failed man t samsung can't hold symbian on... moreI check and compared both video at most review site post. If you said Omnia HD is slow then I doubt you go and check how slow they are the N97. N97 look great but with crap CPU which made everything crap. Now I know why Nokia keep out crap device because most Nokia fans is easy to satisfied, which means they no need to put better spec because the fans still getting it happyly and thought it Is amond the best phone in the world even thought they not ready knew they is plenty of better phone available.

                          I don't know what everyones problem with the N97's clockspeed if you have used or tried the N700,N800 and N810 you will find out how fas t the N97 is cause those Internet tablets are all 369Mhz to 400Mhz and the N800 h is holding down 2 SD card slots that go up to 32Gb WiFi,B/T 4.1 inch resesitive touch screen with stylus and it's ever so sluggish at times so everyone hold your lips shut till it's officially out to the public

                              Hi. I believe that Nokia is taking money because of its popularity. The Price is not reasonable but the Phone is Awesome. Hope I could get one,

                                    I'm glad someone in a position of editorial power is expressing the same feelings of "meh" that I'm expressing about this phone.

                                    I'm terribly disappointed and am thinking that I'll either wait for this phone to drop by a couple hundred dollars (US), or just buy an N86 or 85, which I can get on Amazon.com for $280.

                                      I think after all the disappointment on the N97, I'm going to refuse the package and get the funds refunded. What I'm afraid of is Nokia realizing they could have done a better job and then released and updated version of the N97 months after.

                                        i have a black N82 right now and i won't buy this phone...It has a very slow CPU...loading stuff will be too long...No innovation inside that phone, only a N95 but touch with a keyboard. Nokia has a lot of work to do to make me wanna spend 700USD for a phone! Will buy a real high end phone like Samsung Omnia HD. F... Nokia they had their time, now it's time for competition to get them hard!
