"ditching the iphone for this when it comes out!"
Pros: full qwerty
widgetized home screen
flash
tilting slide out
removable battery
5 mp camera
30 fps viCons: resistive touch screens are hard to type on but i dont really think i'll care because of the qwerty
Summary: the iphone might have a super smooth UI and a ton of apps but a UI only goes so far and most of the apps are trash. other than apps an UI the iphone lacks in every category which is where the n97 comes in. i'm in the u.s. so i'll have to wait a little longer for our version to be released but after researching smartphones for weeks and this is the only one to really give me everything i want. omnia HD comes close but i want some physical keys for a change.

Yes you make a good point, however the smooth UI and developers wanting to make has carried the iphone thus far. I think once other phones gets things right on the UI side. Many iphone users will jump ship.

As an N95 user who has also used an Iphone extensively, your review sums up my view perfectly. The qwerty keyboard outweighs the toughscreen tradeoff. The omnia is impressive but I get frustrated typing on a touchscreen. Give me the physical keys.
