I have two phones in mind for my future, and both are good, these are the main deciders for me
+ QWERTY keyboard & touch screen
+ Nokia has proven track record at providing useful firmware updates
+ 32 GB internal memory
+ OVI App Store, Nokia online marketplace
+ Reliable S60 5th Edition compatibility
- 5 MP Camera, – I know MP don’t matter too much, but my N82 has a better camera
- Unimpressive processor, ARM11 434 MHz single, no Graphics acceleration, only a bit better than the Nokia 5800 ( how smooth and quick will it be?)
Samsung i8910
+ 3.7″ AMOLED Capacitive touch screen vs 3.5″ Resistive for N97
+ 8 MP camera, capable of recording HD quality video
+ ARM Cortex-A8 processor, dual, with graphics acceleration running @ 600 MHz
- S60 5th Edition compatibility issues, some apps may require resigning or firmware hackery
- AMR audio codec used when recording HD (not as DLNA compatible as made out, may be fixed in future firmware update see HERE )
I think I will have to wait, i8910 is already out on Orange, N97 should be out end of this month, my contract expires in July, by that time hopefully a clear winner will make itself known, and hopefully O2 will be carrying it

Yes, but still not as impressive as the i8910 3.7 inch with the nice AMOLED in my opinion
the Nokia N97 for me is the best phone that i bought. it is definitely a bang for the buck phone. nice features and cool looks.
