What is the best phone out??

[Recursion]

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.

Woah hang on a minute here, I would like an iPhone but it doesn't have the features I want, on the network I might want to be on, and so it isn't the best. The best phone for me is the phone that has all the features I want, the way I want it to look, and for me, the N97 would be a huge hit.

This is your typical fanboy post, fanboy of the iPhone, go around posting meaningless crap like this.

Just get out of this thread, seriously.

Well don't just say that, go ahead and name some of the things it doesnt have that you want. Because I think you'll be pushed. But you make a good point, it might not be what you want, or best for you. But overall, I would imagine the general consensus from iphone users/owners is that it is the best phone there is. Otherwise there wouldn't be the hype on them that there is. Having particular belief in a fanastically designed revolutionary product doesn't make me a fan boy. I make no appologies for fighting it's corner.

I think the iPhone and the N97 are made to hit different markets.

The iPhone is made for people with businesses that need to check there email and access files anywhere, hence why the camera isn't the best, but is also made for people that want to play games on there phone.

The Nokia N97 is more suited a wider market, not just (but not excluding) gamers and businessmen.

Most people will agree that the touch screen on the iPhone is unmatched by any phone in the market, this is a huge selling point for the phone.

However some people like to have real buttons (such as a keyboard).

Another thing is that the iPhone is only available on o2, and the contracts aren't exactly the best out there, this puts many people off getting an iPhone. I am currently on Orange, I pay about £20 a month for unlimited texts and 200 mins, which suits me perfectly as I dont really phone people, I tend to stick to text.

The N97 will be available on most of the major networks which I think will help its sales.

My contract ends in the first week of July and I decided months ago I was getting a Nokia N97.

Basicly the iPhone and the N97 are both AMAZING phones, however, NEITHER OF THEM ARE BY ANY MEANS PERFECT. They both have there faults and I think both will be very popular phones

A physical keyboard/keypad and the ability to run multiple applications at once would be nice.

IMO, I have and currently have the Nokia N95 and the N96 now. N95 broke with in 3 weeks and N96 is very fake. Fails hardcore, v.unrealiable - always turning off and screen breaks/scratchs easily. Personally I like the blackberry curve or the iPhone.
