Nokia N97 and iPhone Comparison

The new Nokia N97 seems to be a promising smartphone not only in terms of its features and functionality but also in terms of its stylish form factor, color and design.

If the slide-out QWERTY keyboard is not enough to beat the on-screen keyboard in the iPhone, I must mention that the N97 has a 5MP camera (with flash) and a video-recording option too. For more of the comparison between N97 and iPhone, take a look at the table below.

Nokia N97 is going to be an amazing device, though we shouldn't get our hopes up until the device is out and available in the market.

However if you were planning to get an iPhone soon, a thorough look at the comparison table again may help you change your mind.
