Nokia is getting desperate for "MOAR!!!"
Of course, they use Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar which is also used by Sony Cyber-Shot cameras, so when Nokia tries an 8 MP, Nokia will get sued by Sony... WIN!
#2: Nokia N97 has silver and black colors, like SE's first Xperia Win-Mo powered device, X1.
#3:In GSMArena, X1 is rated as the most rates and viewed, so Nokia wants to defeat this title.
#4: Nokia taunted Engadget that they didn't post about this phone -- exactly, it was leaked last month. =P
#5: They do have a 5MP camera which X1 doesn't have. But X1 has greater resolution which is WVGA 800x480 than N97's almost VGA 640x360. X1 is a true WIDESCREEN phone.
#6: Nokia is jealous of SE, Samsung and LG.
#7: I bet my C902 can defeat N97 when taking pictures..
#8: Nokia can't make their own cameras -- only until CIF.. Lol!
#9: HSDPA 3.6MBPS? Puh-leez. Xperia has that speed. Maybe even 7.2MBPS..
#10: And almost N97 is heaver than X1.
#11: N97 has a a 3.5inch screen like an iPhone.
-- What's next? N98, N99, then N100? How stewpeed.

@se_dude
Yeah more panels will most certainly come but will any of them be active panels as SE said they would be? or will they continue just be links/shortcuts from static images? I don't think you or anyone else can answer that yet but so far they failed to deliver what SE said they would.
No one has claimed the N97 will be here tomorrow but you can't be sure it won't arrive before end of June either can you? In case you hadn't noticed i don't even use Nokia currently and haven't since August so i am hardly the Nokia fan many of you seem to think. But i can see and credit a good device when i see one. Just like a did about the X1'S good points but obviously not it's bad points.
@djin
The processor used on the N97 is a Tuned ARM11 and that's all that i was told no clock speed was stated as yet.

This phone in my opinion design wise is another copy of the x1 and the google g1 phone. why all the same kind of design? can't nokia bring up some thing else like a better design of their own? |

Optimized ARM11, same series as the N95, but running at a higher clock speed.
(Random) facts about the N97:
1. Metal surrounds the screen giving it extra strength.
2. The hinge is made of magnesium while the camera slide is stainless steel.
3. There is an orange highlight around camera slider for a bit of style.
4. The keyboard of the N97 is tilted at 35 degrees.

Damn, and my Xperia X1 is coming by UPS TODAY! Oh well, at least I have a year or so (I hope, my wallet can't take much more of this!), before this hits the market. This phone looks great IMHO, irregardless of what naysayers here say. Quit hating y'all, can't you all JUST admire great technology for what it is like Dogmann mentioned? You all should be glad Nokia (the market leader) is FINALLY pushing the envelope like this, it'll force SE (and everyone else by default) to innovate and put the best tech into their next "flagship" phones! I think that Nokia has a winner on their hands with this phone, and at a great price at that too! Now, if only T-mobile USA can find it in their hearts to carry it at a subsidized price supporting their 3G bands, please Tmob?...Here are my thoughts on the N97:
The Bad:
* Like others have mentioned, the materials in it's construction make it look cheap! Plastic? Seriously Nokia, how much more would it cost you (us?) to use some premium materials like metal?
* I have my doubts about the slide mechanism. Nokia's slides have been notoriously bad (my N95 NGB is a little wobbly now after a little less than a years use), and this one looks like it'll be exceptionally bad. The plastic support used to tilt the screen looks rickety at best... How long will these last over prolonged use?
* Why no zenon flash Nokia?... 
* everywhere I look it says the N97 supports stylus input. I can't seem to spot a stylus housing port anywhere on the phone in all of the pictures? Anyone?...
The Good:
* Unlike what everyone else on this forum says, I like the placement of the Dpad! Can we all say "NES/SNES/GBA emulator controls"?... These look like a dream come true for gaming with Vbag and Vnes on S60!
* I failed to see one of Nokia's standard power plug-ins anywhere on the phone for charging the phone, does this mean that we now have USB charging?!?!?.... If so, about damn time!
* Nobody else noticed the lens and flash cover in the photos of the N97?..... I wish my incoming Xperia had one... What a great addition to an already great phone IMO. Hopefully this is a portend of things to come from all manufacturers. What a novel idea, imagine that, a lens cover to cover the lens on all phones?...
* As much as I have my doubts about the tilting screens support as evidenced in some of the photos, I love love LOVE the fact that it tilts the screen by 35%!!! Imagine watching something on a device like this! I always wished my N95 8GB had a kickstand (not unlike the N96)!
* 32GB of flash ROM, with the option to expand it by another 16GB with a microSDHC card!!!!
* 1500mh battery folks, 'nuf said.
All in all, this thing sounds like a beast. I can't wait for the reviews to start coming in the next year or so after it's released. In the meantime, everyone should just step away for the proverbial "ledge" and take a breath. At the very least, wait until the MWC like someone else mentioned earlier, before forming any strong opinions about the phone either way. Whatever the case, and considering Nokia's past track record (and how much of their future success probably rides on this phones success), I think they have a winner on their hands as well as the first true challenger to teh iPhone's crown as the best multimedia smartphone (and it ONLY took 2 years)! Who said there was no room for "deadzone" handsets like this? Well researched Nokia.

Not all of it is plain jane plastic. There are metal inserts around the screen, hinge and camera lens cover.
Anyhow, to answer your question, there is no stylus built into the phone, but one will be included in the box for Asian markets.

Oh, that makes sense. Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I love hand writing recognition. Thanks for the quick response btw, though a shame that they couldn't include it in the body of the phone... |

Well, you'll probably end up buying one from an HK/European store anyway since it'll be 2010 before Nokia release the N97a for us Yanks.

Saw the video walkthrough of the phone over at Engadget and all I have to say is "meh".
Interface's crappy.
Also, there's nothing revolutionary about this phone (at all). You'd expect more from a new N-series flagship.
