Overall a well thought out device from Nokia.Understanding the multimedia market Segment. Almost having every Feature a Multimedia Phone needs to have, and having it to the maximum,without compromising on any features , will definitely excite & thrill multimedia users .
Crap VGA display (doesn't beat the X1 and Touch HD) and a small-ish screen - where are the so called "maximum" features, eh Mr. "Technical Expert"?

All I can really hope for is SE to move quickly towards a touch screen S60 phone. This however is brilliant, yes it doesn't have everything but looking a t its two main competitors the iPhone and G1 its very very good.
Sure it doesn't have the screen of an X1 or TouchHD but is the screen EVERYTHING?
When SE has a S60 phone then we can start comparing apples and apples. Till then WinMo will stay WinMo and never looks to gun for the mainstream. Of course I'd love to see a touch screen INNOV8. And even better if something like that were to come from SE.
But really for now its just wow and nobody can say anything bad about 32GB of built in memory.
I don't want a signature anymore. |

I have zero experience using a qwerty interface on a phone but I do agree the positioning of the space bar does seem very questionable. |

The Big screen, the sliding keyboard and the big HD is what this device is really all about. I'm a bit concerned about the UI since it will be hard to control the device using just one hand.By watching the video the system takes a few secs to open menus or redraw graphics, add that to having to tap every menu twice and u may end up having a "slow" experience. The desing resembles the iPhone too much with the black color and the silver bezel, there's nothing wrong with it but nokia could've tryed something different here. The lack of an app store, multitouch, iTunes, a friendly GUI and a smaller price won't make this threat to the iPhone. This device will probably steal sales from xperia, htc and samsung since it's got great hardware and software and a very strong brand behind it. |

N97 is not meant to go against X1, thats the E90s job, and when looking at a E90 next to a X1 i dont see much diff, except for Touchscreen in X1.
Whats so bad about the 640x360 res? Have you actualy used a 5800xm? The 640x360 res makes for an amazing display, i used it a few days ago, its a stunning display, the N97 screen is only 0.3inchs larger so im sure quality will still be around the same. All in all the N97 is a welcome edition to the Nseries ,i see nothing wrong with the dpad being on the left, and YES ive used a E90 heavily, even if the dpad was on the left it would be fine IMO.

I see no problem with the directional keys being on the left either. Can people not use their left hand for simple tasks? Quite often I even favour my left hand for texting even though I am right-handed, and I swap hands when the other gets tired. Honestly, its like a gaming controller where the directional buttons are always on the left.
The only thing I see that might take a little bit of getting used to is the space-bar positioning where it is rather small and over to the right. It may take some getting used to at first especially when attempting to press it without looking.

Maybe N97 is not a N95 replacement.
The sketch below maybe the future N95 replacement that is going to compete with Hikaru
