The N97 is a colossal disappointment for me. All those things they should have done would not have come at a price. It's already $700 and even the Sony Xperia X1 from a year ago has better hardware. The Samsung i8910 is vastly superior. If those companies can give us that technology for a good price, of course Nokia can. They're giving us old technology because they think they can get away with it and we'll swallow. No. I’ve been waiting for Nokia to give me the future ever since I bought the N93.

And I'm definitely buying the n97. Why? because I want a phone that does it all. None of the "more focused target consumer phones) mentioned in the above article appeal to me. Most of us aren't strictly one category users. there are days I want to take a picture, days I want to message, days I want to play music and etc. The N97 may be underwhelming to a degree because it doesn't do any one thing amazingly well, but I think the overall package is what makes this phone special. Name any other phone that is designed with this type of business model? None. Sure, there will always be phones that will come out that are flashier, faster, better looking, and hopefully easier to use; but for pure functionality, the N97 really isn't lacking in any particular department. That cant be said about the more focused devices mentioned above. I agree with this article 100 percent. And I’m definitely buying the n97. Why? because I want a phone that does it all.
