Nokia N97 not compete iPhone 3G

The new flagship of the Finnish media company has made some furore in the mobile environment. Should I fear the brainchild of Steve Dzhobsa competition from the new machine? Popular edition of PC World is your opinion on this matter. To learn how persuasive arguments to judge you, dear reader.




  1. The new device is not vnyatnogo name. The absence of a name is not a problem for tehnarey, but ordinary people simply can not feel a really warm feelings to the device with the name «N97» or «N810», if his name is not C3PO and R2D2. The close and familiar type "iPhone", "Chocolate" or "RAZR" has always taken more than a set of numbers and letters.
  2. Features Nokia better, but not so much to choose his unit from Apple. Judge for yourself:
  • 5MP camera with flash
  • 3.5 "resistance touch screen with a resolution of 640x360 pixels
  • Slider with the QWERTY-keyboard
  • 32GB internal memory, with the possibility of expanding up to 48GB

3. The existence of Apple Apps Store. Undoubtedly, there are good applications for Symbian, but the possibility Apps Store with a system of rewards, advertising, a large community of developers and database of 10,000 available applications (minimum 1 / 10 are really good), spoken in favor of buying iPhone.

4. Brand Nokia, formerly clearly associated with smartphones, somewhat lost its popularity among consumers smart devices, while the Apple iPhone and devices from RIM Blackberry naraschivat its market share.

5. Symbian platform is not as fresh as the MAC OS X from Apple and not be compared to an estimated open platform from Google.

6. The interface is somewhat confusing and not as fast as hoped.

7. N97 slightly thicker and not as comfortable with the conversation as the iPhone.

8. iPhone devoted entire site, while the N97 - one of many in line phones Nokia.

9. By that time, as the unit of Nokia available in a broad sell (the middle of next year) and get off the new smartphone from Apple was not long in coming.
