Wow, that’s so cool. I mean, it’s really cool.
But, with all the cool features, it’s still a Nokia. Which is NOT so cool.
And, maybe you’ll rank for cool, instead of N97, because I think I’m going to bold slightly more cool words than you.
If somebody had to show me 5 blog posts from random blogs, I could probably spot yours from all the cool bold words.

Now, in Madagascar, Orange (a communication provider) is launching the i-phone.
I guess that everyone will want to get it. I would too but it is a matter of money .

The N97 is cool but it runs Symbian which is way behind the iPhone OS. The iPhone has a large developer community and hence, lots of great apps.
If the N97 were to run Maemo OS for instance, it would already be way better http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/

Just bought an N97 (somewhat based on this review). I am so disappointed, it’s slow and they have completely changed their open interfaces (which no longer work) so there’s no chance I will get it to sync with an Apple. I advise that anyone who thinks this is comparable to an iPhone (or any new smartphone for that matter) should take a closer look.
