Maybe it's because of the kind-of lameness of the 5800.

32GB was exciting, but I realized I'm barely using half of the 2GB in my SE phone.]]>May 4th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
@Samboini, my wife's N95 runs very quickly. Perhaps you need to update the firmware :-) ]]>May 4th 2009 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/

Samsung omnia record and play HD videos N97 can only record/playback SD videos, and omnia support more video formats
Omnia 8MP Camera is an updated version of the current i8510 which is the best at the market Right now unlike n97 reusing old 5MP
Omnia Amoled Screen beat every other phone screen in the market by a mile
and so many other stuff where i cant list them there, Nokia phones quality doesn't last as much as samsung or SE

Get Omnia HD people or get N97 and Watch Nokia release updated version after 2 months like they always do and regret getting N97
Samsung is already went ahead of there self and everyone wlse with the omnia HD]]>May 4th 2009 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
My biggest concern is Samsung's penchant for no support. Nokia is showing themselves to be very dedicated to services and support, and that's certainly worth money. I'm just not sure it's worth that much.]]>May 4th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/

Then you buy one...

Then you have :
- lot of missing functionnalities
- lot of bugs/conception problems
- no (or so rare...) ROM updates to fix things up and add more stuff !!
- horrible ergonomic problems (like the crapy homemade *TouchWiz* interface, will this shit be on the i7500 too? Do Sammy guys having constant suicidal tendencies ?)

I won't buy one.

The N97 may have a lower def screen, i know Nokia will take care of it and make free new ROM versions during at least one year (and probably more as they did with the N95). It have STANDARD jacks & USB & bluetooth - to share files, not like the iPhone... -, a great camera (i don't care of a 8mpx, the only real strengh of the Omnia HD are the video and the screen), and IT WILL WORK. I laugh when i see all i can do with my 2 years old N95-8GB that iPhone users can't, things that i NEED in my all day life. All i miss is a decent touchscreen to browse the internet (even if the N95 is THAT bad for that, and Java/Flash are supported which was really helpful sometimes) and an application store. Thye N97 will bring all this, i just can't wait :-D]]>May 4th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
This is true for the N97 as well if the 5800 XpressMusic is any indication (which it should be since they are running the same operating systems); better specs than the iPhone, but crappy S60 software shoe-horned into a touchscreen phone. Not a very good user experience at all.]]>May 4th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
As for the 5800, it will likely get some nice updates to bring it up to N97 level, like homescreen widgets etc. It's still a great phone as-is though. I don't see why everyone has a problem with it.]]>May 5th 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
My next phone has to be that Samsung i7500. I can live without QWERTY, but I cannot live without a decent mobile OS this time.]]>May 4th 2009 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/May 4th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
But it is the first time - in my opinion - that 3-4 devices are so close to start a nuclear disaster...
I guess that every new phone (this 4 iPhone, Pre, i7500 and N97, ++) will divide the market in 2,3...n pieces.
Now I can really say that Smart OS Devices can start "the fight".

But, only when a smart device will have: smart+OS, large LCD (>13'), flexible LCD (or bendable OLED), more than 800 MHz, >4-8G, CPS, Radio, touchscreen, Compass, Accelerometer, and 4-5 hours of battery life in full use then I can say YES... I will buy one, if I have the money.

Until then... all "smart devices" looks the same to my only smart eye...]]>May 4th 2009 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/nokias-flagship-n97-gets-its-own-website-pre-order-link/
