I'm planning to buy N97 but I don't know yet if nokia would be launching new firmware updates, or improvements to the S60 5th ed UI. Does anybody know? Are patches/updates in the works?

People people. Please listen. Do you still think the N97 will be better than the Iphone with the next software update coming in June? the Iphone 3.0. update?

I'm really doubting if I should buy the Nokia N97 or an Iphone. Can you help me to choose. I just want the best;)

I want to add one point that, since 5800XM or N97 is smart phone, but the music player isnt good enough to compare to iPhone.

The problem with N97 or any other phone Nokia comes up now, is that it has to compete with the iphone. No matter what class you put the “smart phone”‘s of Nokia it will invariabley be compared with the Iphone. Thats where the real worry is, because what the Iphone has shown is that SOFTWARE is the major part of the “Smart phone” package, and with all fairness to Nokia and Symbian, S60 (touch) has to catch up a lot with Iphone OS in the usability department.

I say this because I TRIED liking the 5800 and the S60 V5 (touch) , but it was in vain. I was getting frustrated after just 2-3 minutes because of the inconsistancy of the menus and confirmtaions etc. THIS IS fine in case of my N95 which I have for last 2 years, but putting a touch layer on top of it just is not going to work when you are competing agianst a interface like the Iphone has.

Also with the Iphone 3.0 release they are catching up with most of the major features of the top phone OS out ther(symbian,blackberry,Winmo), but they still have to catch up a lot (especialy in the background app scenario,,,I mean push notification WTF??)

So invariably Nokia has to put their noses ahead by doing good with the software in hand, and unless they show HUGE improvements in the N97 version of S60 and also promote the OVI store extenseivly, I dont see them catching up with the juggernaut thats Iphone.
