im from the uk and just recently changed from and old iphone on o2 to vodafone and an n97, iphone is an overhyped phone they are good for music and smooth interface but internet browsing is slow and even with the latest camera it might as well not have one. So far i love my N97, unlike my iphone its fast for net browsing, has a decent camera 5mpc carl zeiss and i have great reception all the time :) (unlike o2)
The only thing i would say isnt great is the touch screen experience but its by no means bad

hope this helps ppl decide ;)

      This N97 page is quickly approaching the 4.7 million hit count and is about to bump the Sony Ericsson W810 off the "Interest" ranking page, placing 11 Nokias in the top 15 positions. All this in only 3 weeks since launching.

      This phone seems to be another Nokia runaway hit!

        The n95 8gb has louder speakers than n97 during calls & listening to music to the loud speakers & the user interface is slow

                    How can I re-install the N97 maps. I accidentally replaced it with that of the N96. It is not listed on Nokia site.

                          I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now and sorry to say this but I feel let down. If it was released a year ago it would have been great, but in 2009, the software and UI feels dated.

                          Sure it's got the whole Symbian feature set, but the touch experience doesn't compliment the Symbian UI. I've had the N93, N80, N95 and Iphone as well, but this was the most confusing UI ever. Sometimes, a single tap is enough, sometimes you need a double tap, sometimes you need to hold it down and tap etc etc All in all very confusing and not practical for when you want to get things done "fast"!

                          Which brings me to another gripe, being speed. The N97 is simply... SLOW! Having an ARM 11 434 MHz processor behind all the hardware and software on the n97 is like a 4 stroke engine in a porsche. Was Nokia cutting costs?

                          The camera and video quality are ok, but getting access to them in the Gallery is not ok. Trying to zoom into photos with the touch screen is a "joke", the processor simply can't handle this function and there is a 2-3 sec pause when the photo attempts to refocus.

                          3 things that could have saved the N97.

                          1. A faster processor - the phone is far too slow!
                          2. Better touch screen - Stylus is OUT!
                          3. Better, more consistent touch screen interface.


                          I'm a Nokia fanboy, but I'm trading this one in waiting for the HTC Hero or Lg Crystal.

                                It's sooo funny that Nokia Mobiles is still ahead in the world. The smear tactis of the iPhonies fools just don't work.
