                      Do you find that the camera is faster, especially the auto focus. With the N95, it sometimes took what felt like ages before the phone actually snapped the picture after you have pressed the button.

                                  It uses obsolete Symbian os with terrible browser and Here is what professionals are writing about it not blind Nokia fans :

                                  Keyboard:

                                  It’s hilarious that when Nokia finally listens and tries to make a somewhat normal QWERTY keyboard layout (we moaned that the Z key was always incorrectly right under the A key on previous devices) they mess it up even more. Like honestly, you’re expecting people to use something with the spacebar key stage right? If the layout isn’t bad enough, the keys certainly are. While the texture of the keys is actually pretty stirring, there’s absolutely positively the smallest tactile feedback imaginable when pressing in a key. For comparisons sake, the T-Mobile G1, whose keys aren’t the best in that department, is worlds better than the N97’s keyboard. It’s really disappointing because Nokia just can’t seem to nail this keyboard area. You could argue that there’s a virtual on-screen keyboard, but that’s so useless we’re not going to entertain the idea of you bringing it up.
                                  SCREEN
                                  Man… this is a tough area. Some people are going to viciously attack us for saying this, but, is this the best you can do Nokia? If it is, you’re out of touch with the entire cell phone world because this is one of the most disappointing screens we’ve seen in a long, long time. Besides being a poor resistive touchscreen with good resolution — it’s poor because they try and allow it to decipher touch actions separately from select actions — it looks like there’s a weave pattern behind the display. It gets really infuriatingly annoying. We’re assuming it’s the digitizer, but seriously, learn how to make a touch display. This isn’t 2003. Every single flagship phone has a display 10x better than yours. If you want us to break them down because you’re too out of touch to realize it, we’re glad to do so:
                                  Is there anything more important than a screen and a keyboard in a" smart phone " ??????????

                                    And White is better looking in my opinion, the black is too black, I normally go for black with my electronics.
                                    Black makes it look like a blob, idk.

                                      Web browser is almost the same as 5800! Just slightly faster due to the 434mhz CPU

                                      And third party web browser opera mini does not offer flick scroll! Skyfire and ozone can be installed in n97 but theere is no touch support!Only can be controlled by n97 keypad

                                      Why nokia not upgrade thief slow web browser? Can the flash be turn off? Buy it once the skyfire and ozone support touch!!

                                      Am bit dissapointed by the web browser!
