New slogan of Nokia is now "Nokia - Copying People" apparently. Why innovate when you can copy? The Nokia N97, that Nokia announced today at Nokia World event in Barcelona, EU, is actually a copycat of an old Windows Mobile phone - HTC TyTN II:
Furthermore Nokia also:
... bribed several journalists and bloggers by paying for their flights to Barcelona, hotel rooms, food and free demo units of various Nokia devices - not that it is anything new here, but it is worth noticing how many journalists do not disclose at all who paid for their stay at Nokia World.
... completed purchase of Symbian Ltd. - previously Nokia owned only "part" of Symbian but de-facto it was fully controled by Nokia. We were the only publication that was claiming that Symbian is not an independent consortium but just a puppet of Nokia and now the final ultimate confirmation of this claim has materialized. We were right all the time!
... launched Nokia Messaging that is trying to mimick what RIM BlackBery and MS Exchange are doing: push email.
... launched Nokia Maps that is trying to mimick 3D functionality and other features of Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search Maps..Commentary: Nokia still has the biggest market share in the smartphone market globally, but this share is dropping significantly due to huge sales of Apple iPhone and soon it will shrink even more thanks to Google Android. Furthermore in USA - the biggest economy in the world - Nokia's market share in smartphones is tiny and Nokia lags there behind both Apple iPhone and Windows Mobile. New Nokia N97 has no multi-touch and its design is carbon copy of old HTC design. Conclusion: truly Nokia's new slogan should be "Nokia - Copying People".

Bling, 02 Dec 2008cracked you may be right but the phones that will be presen... moreIt will never end..Next will be the 10mp cameraphones and vga displays will be the norm..Then as thats just settles out will come the first fone will built in projector..Then hopefully the next type of phone will be introduced with the 10x life lithium polymer batterys ,, super bright leds expected to be 10x as bright and using ultro low power chips..battery life will no longer be a problem..Also on way is solar power skins for the fone to constantly keep it topped up ,,all the above is due to nan0-technology..I could explain how the above will come about but its long winded..So as has happened since 2001 every year things do get better some barely revolutionary but mainly evolutionary.I like them extra things like samsung put in like vivd messaging,,sonic wellness just something outside the box..One good thing especially in buisness is bio-metric feedback to help reduce stress,,so it will never end..

I hope it has a virtual T9 keypad. I like Qwerty but I'm used to the T9 style Keypad. I really love this phone and what it can do. I'm saving up now to buy it day 1 because I know it's going to be expensive just like all the other N-series devices but this is a must have. 32GB of Space Standard is just UNBELIEVABLE WITH an Expandable memory slot up to 16GB is just unreal.

I love these specs, but I´ll surely miss my N82´s xenon flash... the only weak spot I can see in this new N-series...

Ricardo, 02 Dec 2008Would be perfect, if had an 8MP cam, 120fps VGA video, WVGA... morewow, honestly some people are just never satisfied. It doesn't need an 8MP camera, non of that Geo-Tagging or anything you named to be perfect. This is easily the best phone shown. I even compared it to the HTC Touch HD (The Now 2nd best phone) and it beat that one with the exception of the screensize and a few other areas. This phone is perfect (END OF DISCUSSION).

cracked, 02 Dec 2008hello every body outthere!!!!! at present we have xperia, ... morecracked you may be right but the phones that will be presented at barcelona will be the "first tries".And then Nokia will upgrade them.Just like happened with Nokia`s N95. It was a perfect phone when it came up but soon after that came better phones with even better performance and functions....Like N82,N79 5800 and etc.
