Although it has not yet gone to market, the Nokia N97 has already given a lot to talk. With expectations that will be the smartest smartphone on the planet, the N97 has been subjected to comparisons with several smartphone devices from other manufacturers, including the Sony Ericsson X1, the Samsung Omnia HD, and finally the Apple iPhone.

In fact, the iPhone was the chosen one by “Erazo”, from NokiaN97.com, for a comparison with the N97.

Not neglecting the capacity and the iPhone phenomenon, we discovered some advantages that make the N97 a much more interesting device than it’s rival:

• The differences in display and camera are obvious, and the N97 has a 360 x 640 screen resolution and a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, LED flash and autofocus, against the iPhone screen resolution of 320 x 480 and a 2 megapixel camera without flash and autofocus. Yet, the Nokia N97 has a front camera, the iPhone does not.
• On the keyboard, the iPhone only supports the touchscreen technology, while the N97, in addition also has a QWERTY keyboard, facilitating a lot the sending of SMS or E-mails, in addition to a greater writing speed.
• The N97 has an internal memory of 32GB, with the possibility of expanding the memory using a microSD card, while the iPhone has only 8 or 16GB of internal memory, without the option of using memory cards.
• Finally, the N97 loads the Symbian S60 (5th edition) platform, which is much more popular and mature than iPhone OS, providing a much wider range of applications, games, among others, to use on your device.

We at the s60blog are of the opinion that the N97 is a better all-round phone as it is GREAT LOOKER as well as a PERFORMER.
