Hands on with Nokia's iPhone killer

At 55mm thick (over 2" for those that use the old imperial measure) it sounds less than svelte - still at 17.9 mm wide they certainly did well to pack in a near VGA screen. Some confusion here surely.

Quite an enthusiastic review earlier at http://scobleizer.com/2008/12/02/nokia-n97-the-ultimate-face... so maybe Nokia are still in the game.

the phone seems very good in general, but Android is too much of a draw for me to get this even if it has superior hardware.

Dito and that they come up with a hardware/feature monster instead of fixing their broken ecosystem shows that they really don't know how they should compete in the future with all the Android phones and the iPhone.

But with the N97, Apple now needs to work on some of the dafter omissions from the iPhone: cut and paste, and MMS in particular.

Apple doesn't have to worry about either, because the people who would avoid an iPhone for a Nokia phone over those features alone are an incredibly slim part of the market.

No it isn't

Let me guess the outcome of this article without even reading a word .... "The Nokia comes close, but isn't better than the iPhone"

So, was I right?

I wonder what they're going to launch tomorrow that will top this?

Oh how I wish there were a "killer meme" killer...

Anyone know what browser it will be running?
