Its specs are nothing special at all. Some people might say that the N97's strong point is the widgets... We all know what Nokia is like with software. The N97's homescreen won't function well until 2010 if the N95's software was anything to go by.

I hate to say it but the truth is that the N97 is the same as the N95 but with a bigger screen and a few extra buttons. Good job on innovating, Nokia...]]>Dec 22nd 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/
Opera != Webkit
3.2MP camera != 5MP camera
Winmo < Palm < Symbian (just my opinion here)]]>Dec 22nd 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/
When will you realise that Nokia are selling you OLD hardware? They're milking you. Sure, the N97 has a few more GBs here, some more MBs there and a few more inches over here, but what else? They could easily make a proper successor to the N95 but they choose not to. Please don't be fooled by Nokia, otherwise we'll be seeing N95s in different shells for the rest of this decade.]]>Dec 22nd 2008 4:27PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/

Back in the day I had my treo 650, and I was happy, touch screen, full keyboard, RSS reader, PDAnet, and some simple games.. Go Go GO!! Fast forward a few years.. Palm sucks, terrible browser, no multimedia apps worth mentioning, same dinky screens, and the OS hasn't improved at all...

Buying the N95 was a big deal for me, no keyboard, no touchscreen, but everything else! The N97 is it, finally, I'll have the true successor for my old Treo from a feature perspective.

This is a big upgrade for me from my N95-4

... You were saying?... The HTC Touch Pro would have been out for almost a year by the time you can buy a N97.

It's not a new OS. It's still the same old Symbian.]]>Dec 22nd 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/
comparing the touch pro and n97 is thinner looks nicer]]>Dec 22nd 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/22/nokias-n97-widget-competition-kicks-off-plethora-of-twitter-cl/http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/compare_results.php?phones[]=3294&phones[]=2879
