Nokia n97

From ZooidWiki

OK, I didn't love the n95, though it has a good camera and GPS that works offline, the horrible UI inconsistency, lack of touchscreen, very slow GPS lock, scratch prone camera lens and other deficiencies really irked me. Will I fall for the n97?

[edit] Drawbacks

• Still no USB charging
• Even heavier (150g)

[edit] Advantages

• Higher res 640 x 360 resistive touch screen
• Keyboard
• Revamped UI (S60 series 5) though I'm not expecting it to be iPhone quality.
• Built in compass, though I guess it requires a GPS fix first.

32GB built in memory is a waste. I've only used 3GB on the n95 with music and a year's worth of photos and video.

Why oh why can't an Android device with N97 hardware features appear? Symbian is supposed to be a good OS, but there's too much baggage and not enough open source emphasis.
