Nokia N97 Vs iPhone 3G

Advertisements

Has the real competition began now….? “No” is the answer in this case.You can’t compare this phone with the iPhone 3G.This is a totally different phone with highly capable multimedia features.None of these two i.e. Nokia N97 and the iPhone 3G will affect each-others market.iPhone 3G is more usable and its user-base will be more than that of the Nokia N97.The iPhone UI is superb and anyone , young or old , can pick it and use easily.The N97 has the great user friendly Symbian OS(the latest Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5) but touchscreen symbian requires more tuning.
