Hi Mustu,

Well IMHO for now it is the N95 but once the E90 launches that will replace it as the flagship device as neither are just phones any more.

I don't really see a reason for the E90 taking over top spot from N95 in that statement. Indeed we probably already know your preference but in this case I tend to agree with boba in that N95 is more a general use handy phone whereas communicators tend to be more for people who use it on desktops, or on their briefcases etc, i.e. in a more seated position whereas N95 can be used a little more one handed while walking around.

I'm not really sure if even this is a reason to choose one over the other as flagship model but its probably an argument for who the type of person who wll choose either.

At the end of the, choosing one which Nokia might consider as flasghip model will be a tougher task than SE has, where clearly P990 would be considered at the top

Hi Masseur and Boba,

We are not talking about what is going to sell the most but what is the company's flagship product. When it comes to that the screen and additional Ram alone qualify the E90 as the flagship product when launched and i can see no logical reason to doubt that. My preference is entirely immaterial in the same way as whilst it may be the flagship product i seriously doubt it will be anywhere near as popular as the N95.
Much the same way as the N93 was the flagship product but was not a huge seller. Although i do believe the E90 will out sell the N93 and N93i by quite a margin.

yeah, I understand that its not the model thats sell most but I think in general it is the most fully featured device. Unfortunately there again there is little to differentiate the two except form factor so perhaps it then coimes to prestige and there perhaps the E90 might win over

I still think its a tough call either way

Hi Masseur,

I do agree it's a close call but i really think the increased screen size plus full qwerty and the extra Ram technically speaking outweigh the extra Mega Pixels. Although against it are the increased size and weight we will just have to agree to disagree on this one for now at least.

I think the e90 would qualify as nokia's flagship. Maybe my bias comes into play here seeing that I prefer it to the n95, but based on the specs sheet there may be little to tell them apart. The Qwerty keyboard seals it for me.

I think the N95 will stay as the flagship. As said, its a more all round phone and appeals to more people than the E90
