Nokia N97 Vs Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
I had a little time today so I decided to do a tabbed comparison between the upcoming S60 based touch devices that Nokia is going to offer in December & Q1 2009. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic a Non-Nseries phone which was the first touch S60 device announced earlier this year at the Remix Event in London, which will target the mid-caps with a descent set of features and on the other hand we have the Nokia N97 which was just announced yesterday at Nokia World 2008 in Barcelona is expected to cost a hefty sum but nevertheless it has some solid features to offer. I am still preparing my thoughts on N97 an will update you all really soon. Be sure to bookmark this post as I will be updating it with the latest information as I come across it. If you have a few things that you think are missing then go ahead and leave a comment and I’ll have them up at the earliest.
