This is truly the industry’s best kept secret - the Nokia N97. Everyone knew there was an Nseries touchscreen in the making, but NO ONE had any idea of the specs or the form factor… & here comes the N97. The best way to describe this device would be exactly what Jonas Geust, VP of Nokia Nseries has stated:

“From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence”

So, is this the perfect device… alas no! It still lacks multi-touch or whatever sonar-thingy Nokia have in the making. & then there’s also that 8MP stunner on the Nokia roadmap… But still that’s one small step for a phone but a giant leap for mobilekind… :P

I am still deciding which mobile to buy at the end of december, but the pricesssssss :S
N95 8GB - Rs23k
N96 - Rs30k

but each time, I get discouraged when my friends tell me "tout sa casse la to pu metter dans ene portable? si li perdi or tomber lerla?"

carrotmadman6 said...

@Yashvin
How about the N79 & N85?

N95-2 v/s N96
I must admit that in direct specs comparison, the Rs 7k price difference is worth it...
