What Nokia N-97 has and 'The Phone' does not!

So here is what 'The Phone' has:

• Touch Screen
• Accelerometer Sensor for Auto Rotate
• Bluetooth - Headset support only
• 2 MP Camera
• Built in GPS Receiver
• Audio/Video Player

And what is missing?

• Push mail: Push Mail's 'always on' capability is the most important feature of any business phone!
• Video Recording: No multimedia phone is complete without video recording!
• Sharing files using bluetooth: Works with only a few wireless headset and does not permit sharing files and pictures!
• No external memory: Well, am sure you will say you just not need it, so do with the 'limited' space you have!
• Non removable battery: After a year or two, battery capacity reduces, but a change is just not possible!
• No cut, copy, paste: And how do you think you will edit documents?

And there is more:

• Cannot be used as a wireless modem
• No speed dialing
• No SMS forwarding
• No MMS sending

And what does Nokia N97 have? All this, and when I say all this, I mean EACH and EVERY feature I just mentioned, and much more:

• Does not just have a video recorder, but the camera is 5MP, carl zeiss optics, autofocus with flash, plus a secondary videocall camera
• Does not just have external memory compatibility upto 16 GB, but has 32 GB of internal memory too
• And did I mention a QWERTY keyboard other than just the touchscreen
• SMS forwarding, MMS sending, Speed Dialing, and yes, can be used as a wireless modem
• Nokia is known for its batteries, and yes, unlike 'The Phone', they are removable
• And bluetooth is not just for its own headset, but you can share all you want

Need I say more? Or is there even a need to justify or argue which one's better, and why? I guess smartphone users are smart enough to make their own choice! As you can see, I have made mine...

PS: People who had difficulties in identifying 'The Phone' can go bite raw apples, as for them, the grapes are sour!

The Power of Touch
