So - which would you rather have? The iPhone or the N-97?
I admit I’m surprised at the keyboard, I was under the impression touch screen keyboards were teh way of the future - hell event he one laptop per child initiative is considering it!
In my case N97 as it do have a keyboard beside a fully functional touch screen like iPod and its memory size is amazing so i hope i don’t have to delete my messages after sometime.
Yups! Chris actually a lot of people generally don’t adapt the change that quickly so this dual option of touch screen and a keyboard will surely be a plus point if it do not impact the overall size and weight too much.
Its just another iphone clone!!
i like this mobile very much im going to buy N97 in black, instead of NOKIA 8800
