Looks like its due out soon and its full touch screen with 32gig onboard memory and space for a 32gig SD card :D If you were ever waiting for a big mp3 player/phone this is going to be it :D

Looks super sexy :) lol

Nokia N97 pictures, official photos

Intersting. Last I saw it was slated for Summer (somewhere around June). Want to try this next to an iPhone before deciding what to upgrade my N95 to :)

It has a full qwerty keypad, cant really compare it to an iPhone I dont think.

This is the nearest match to an iPhone. I was expecting an N series version, but not seen it. The spec of this seems a little low to take on the iPhone

No not exactly the same, but I will want to upgrade later this year and am not sure what to get. Like the look of the iPhone, but there are things that put me off (no mms, no quad band etc). The N97 looks to have these and a lot more besides....

The N97 is due at around the time that I'm due an upgrade, I want one soooo badly :king:

And what about the phone chick ;)

If you want an Iphone killer get the HTC Touch HD.

I did like my HTC touch, but cant live without a keypad, its official lol.

I think the difference is, the iPhone was build as a practical (ish) gimmick, the Nokia is going to be a practical phone with gimmick added.

I have one of these.....

really pleased with it

Still no torch though so it's off my list!

o dear... nokia definitely isnt bothered about the credit crunch:nono: .....

The HTC is a piece of crap :lol1:

Just got the N96 and it's pretty good, the 97 looks awesome so i will upgrade to that.

Should they be ? :wonder:

N97 looks intresting

N96 has been superseded by the N85 by the looks of things

OLED display does wonders for the battery life from all the reviews!

i think i might upgrade my N93 to a N85 at some point :)

Which bit of the phone? the hardware or software?

Thats exactly what I look for in a phone :wonder: :D

i have to say mind, i would have said the same, but a few weeks back, the missus needed me to change one of her rear bulbs in her corsa, in the dark, and the built in torch came in very handy lol

They also compared the HTC with the Storm, Google phone and Iphone on the Gadget show - have a trawl and the video's on there.....


Still not sure - in the same boat really. N95 due for upgrade, Iphone (not convinced) Storm (SOOOO disappointing) etc..... it will have to be a SERIOUSLY good phone to force an upgrade. (I've already got an Ipod Touch and an Ipaq PDA - so a phone has to pretty good to compete!! :D)

Dan :D

Im back to simplicity myself. 6220 Classic. Everthing my N95, without the slide, but with the added benefit of sat nav :)

:lol1: :lol1:

Nearest house to me is 150 yards away - it's VERY dark here and I don't always have a torch on me - but I do always have my phone on me.
It's been useful SO many times (torch batteries ran out recently 2miles from home - in the middle of nowhere - the phone torch got us home safely).

Not useful for you urbanites maybe but needed in this here cunnreeesooide.

I have abandoned nokias now after 11 years... the n95 ive had for ages, but that is the last one. Blackberry 8900 is perfect for me now.
Touchscreen (omnia) lasted a couple of hours before i got annoyed with it and sent it back. Sod this touch screen crap- give me a proper physical qwerty anyday.

They neglected to mention the projected price in that original post :)

What do we all reckon? £500+ :D

This year's must have is a netbook. Looking at the coverage from CES, mobile phones are becoming passe and why get Blackberry thumb when you can type on a proper keyboard. The Dell even has a SIM card built in.

Projected price off line I reckon about 600-750 to start with. Will soon drop though. On contract if any of the UK providers take it on, prob about 99 quid.

Im with the proper keypad people here, rather than a touch screen. As for blackberry thumb, I am a light user to not suffered yet, could do without any more hand problems lol.
Any info on said Netbook ?

A review in today's Independent

Netbooks: The must-have gadget of 2009 - Features, Gadgets & Tech - The Independent

Elonex will be selling a Netbook in Next for £99, which is just crazy.

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Laptop Details

hmmm my old thinkpad x22 (still used every day) laptop screen is only 12"

i think i will pass on the netbook thing :)

Kin elll! Peeps need their heads examined if they're willing to pay that much for a phone, or let the networks bend them over with their contract terms to subsidise the cost of the phone as part of the deal:

N97 package deal with x phone company - Basically, you're our bitch for 18 months and you get 2 texts and 2 mins of calls for that period per month thrown in for free! :lol1:

I am due an upgrade soon and want an N96 but am surprised at the price, my mate claims to have got one for £15 a month on Three, cheapest they do is £35 from what I can see though I do remember cheaper deals before Christmas, have they bumped the prices up ?

I have a Blackberry from work so I part of me wants to bin the personal phone, though the Blackberry is dependable and has a good battery life I love the superb camera and video functions on my N95 but its hard to justify £35 a month for that when I get a free phone.
