cant understand why there is so much demand for the white one?

white one is dirt magnet and will become yellow as time goes by! Black one looks professional and elegant!

the bad side of mini is the price and lack of camera cover! Should Ship With 16 gigabyte

            Paul, 10 Nov 2009It is a phone - don't take decisions like this too seriousl... moreThanks for your advice bro.
            But You will not believe me if you told you what phone am I using... I've the Nokia N70!!! It's a bit too old, but since it came there were alot of apps came applicable for my N70.. Until now, I'm using some of applications which I downloaded from late 2005!!.. So, I actually want to get a phone which can handle some useful apps..
            I had Sony Ericsson's W960 for 6 months, but didn't enjoy it, also were not many apps for it, then I returned to my old N70!!..
            Still Undecided..

But, I was really disappointed when I tried to use the QWERTY keyboard!! I felt that it's difficult to type using that keyboard, also the buttons were well-spaced but only punched up the surface, the buttons were almost flat..and AS YOU HAVE COMMENTED BEFORE that there is no full QWERTY touch in the N97 mini for messaging.. Moreover, i didn't try the touch screen in the n97 mini ..

                    However, it seems that I'm going to buy it for one reason, (for apps) only,, bcoz i like to have as many apps as possible in my handset. Otherwise I loved Satio but the problem is that it doesn't a big variety of apps.. Still Undecided yet..
                    please help me ??

                            Mike, 09 Nov 2009Understand your opinion about n97 mini vs Satio. But actual... moreOh yeah don't doubt the satio camera is better. I mean the n97 is pretty average in terms of picture quality (even by phone standards). And the n97 software is pretty basic too. It's just... 12 MP??? Gak! With no optical stabilizer, hand shake alone is enough to make that a nonsense. Then there's the light sensitivity issue. Anyway, I agree that if camera is a top priority then go for Satio over n97.

                              compare to n97 and n97 mini, which is better? i'm planning to change a phone but not sure which to buy.

But actually, the camera in Satio is not just about 12.1 mpixels, it has some pretty good optics also and smart software. Compared to other smartphone cameras, Satio is outstanding, just as a decent digital camera. And the options to focus wherever you want just by touching the screen is pretty cool.

                                The screen in Satio is pretty big and the full-qwerty is actually quite easy to write on so there´s no problem to write sms/emails with it.

                                I don´t own a Satio right now, just played around with it a couple of times in shops etc. I still want to give the n97 mini a chance and waiting for it to be delivered (in Sweden) so I can try it and see how it feels.

                                The advantage of the n97 mini I think is the ovi/nokia maps (seems not to be available for Satio) with the offline search capabilities and maybe the physical keyboard and also that the device is a bit smaller in size.

                                But when it comes to a camera, n97 mini is (even if the camera seems to be ok) waaay behind Satio ;)!

I was in two minds about getting the Satio or the N97 mini, and decided against the Satio partly cos I think a 12 MP camera on a phone is crazy. I don't want to pay for something that's basically marketing hype. I was tempted by the n86, which has the best camera of any phone imho. But screen resolution was too low.

                                  The Satio has a faster processor too. But at the end of the day the physical keyboard on the N97 won me over. I like to be able to see what I'm writing, rather than have it all squidged up in a little box.

But seems to do OK when outside, travelling on the train etc. I wandered around our local park with google maps on satellite mode, and it followed me from tree to tree pretty well :) I'm currently charging it every day, but then I am using it heavily. Only used it to send one email today - just checked the charge and it's on full still from last night. So when I go into 'normal usage' I expect it will last 3 days or so.
