You do realize that the price of iPhone is about the same as N97, right? The difference is that with the iPhone the costs are included in the plan, so you’re not paying upfront.”

To make a call, you need a phone service. So you’re going to get the nokia without a plan? What are you going to do with it if you don’t use it as a phone? If you say skype or voip, the iphone or itouch can do that as well.

I can’t wait till this comes out looks amazing and no need for mem card so should not slow the phone down. Anybody know when coming out on the 3 network as I am due an upgrade now. Was going to wait for the Sony Ericsson Idou but this has more features. Who cares about the price if you getting it on contract

“N97 looks good but I can get 2 brand new iPhones in that price, So I’d go for iPhone for me and my wife.”

This is gonna be a great phone, i mean after all it is made by the leading mobile manufacturer in the world. The reason the N97 is so expensive is because in America no companies will subsidize it, since americans like to buy cheaply made stuff and know nothing about quality products.

This phone is WAY overpriced. I can buy two or three netbooks for what this thing. Pricing like this reminds me of the Greed that is Apple. Boycott this phone!

Thumbs down! Nothing new here that the E90 did’t have exept for the touch screen. Actually less! No keybord, no second display. Nokia workmanship is in the toilet, I had an E90, great unit for 14 months, then RX fine, TX…gone!! repair by Nokia…”can’t be repaired!” $700 + and 14 months…nah, I will buy Korean! In adition even the chrome plating wears off if 6 monts of normal use and corrosion, big problem…market share droping, wonder why? Might i suggest quality, peformance and innovation may be involved, I think they hibernate in Finland for 6 monts of the year perhaps why they are so slow to come to market and way, way behind these days..

No touch keyword. Miniview is just a dump “large” icon. I was told you only get resize message. Overall, there is nothing to call home about. BTW, I just checked out the Ovi Store. There are some apps. I found out Nokia contracted a company in Eastern Europe to write the app. Even Facebook app is done by Nokia.

Killer device, can’t wait. The factory packing vid is a great reverse take on traditional “onboxing video”. Would have been nice to have an ending with the cases being cracked in-store and loaded on shelves.

disagree…

N97 is going to be the next revolution….excellent design, excellent utility….
although the current unlocked price is $599-$699 (dell.com)…it will soon come down…

Btw, this phone comes has a scented version too. You may choose from curry scent, molded scent, and me-indian-no-bath scent. Personally, I like the no-bath scent the most because it reminds me of the close (no pun intended) comradery I had with my co-workers at my previous company.

The press release demo video is a lie, the transitions on the screen will do nothing like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjNmbfSyGok

In fact the transitions will be far far worse, its pretty sad they have to lie about how the UI works

I considered one based on the D7 demo; and, while they sell the unlocked version for No America, I think it’s way too expensive with an unproven OviStore & unknown apps. (I made that mistake with the unlocked HTC Tilt, which was so dumbed down by ATT in USA that I can’t even video conf with anyone.) If Nokia want to break N.A., they need this, unlocked, at $399 or less. I, for one, am reconsidering new iTouch with Skype!

I had the phone in my hands some weeks ago… it was not stable and it feels poorly. Just a weak phone.

XM5900 is for you, wait for S60 V5 Feature Pack 1

XM5900 has Similar styling as that of E71 & E52 (when it comes to thickness) and functionality of XM5800.
