Still not in the same league.

The N97 looks like total fail? It's one of the most anticipated phones in this day and age.

It might be. But as far as Nokia even thinking that it (judging by that review) could challenge apple's iphone; they're deluded.

That's not Nokia challenging it though, that was the BBC's own review.

I understand that. But that's cearly what they're trying to do with a touchscreeen phone. They're not likely to say it, but that's obviously what they hope to do.

How exactly is it a total fail? It looks like an excellent handset. It's been highly anticipated for some time, and the review is positive.

You are deluded if you think all touch screen phones are out there to challenge the iPhone. There were touch screen phones before the iPhone, and there have been excellent ones since. The two phones are very different in focus.

I love Apple products (heck, I use a Mac), but I hate fanboism. The iPhone is not the ultimate phone for everyone, so please don't act like it is. Did you ever think that someone might want a higher resolution camera, or has a preference for a physical keyboard?

the iphone is amazing in many ways but in some aspects it like downgrading.

If what you're saying is right. Then it would be odd for most technology reviewers to endlessly compare touchscreen phones (Like the way they have for the n97) to the iphone wouldn't it? But they do. Because it IS the best touch screen phone on the market, and sales reflect that. It's totaly revolutionised the way mobile phones are and used.

And I will argue that it is the ultimate phone for MOST people because there is frankly very little you can't do on it. So I think I will continue to follow the example and compare touchscreen phones to the iphone until one comes along that beats it; in its app support, interface and design and the n97 fails to.

Awkward handset.
