I’m a bit laughing at the marketing strategy of Nokia with this. They say its a powerful phone. However, upon comparing it with other Nokia devices, i found that its just like an upograde to the 5800 xpressmusic. Will show you a comparisson on my next post.
However, i do agree that its a nice phone… just look at that baby!













Can’t wait for you to explain why it’s just an upgrade. Was planning to buy 5 pcs pa naman. One each for my household help.
i want this phone!
I’ll tell my dad buy me one!
Hehe tell your Dad? Can’t you buy one yourself?
Lots of good points here. I tried an iphone, and I wasn’t all that impressed. Maybe the N97 will be worthwhile.
