Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow
Intro
Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97.
Buying The Phone
After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97 ...

Advantages: Easy to use, Gorgeous phone, amazing features. Disadvantages: As the keyboard is small it is hard to find some symbols, screen glares the light.
At first I was taken back by the Nokia N97. It is full of applications which is fantastic, but I wasn't used to the world of touch screen. Two weeks on its a doddle. I actually use the touch screen option when texting etc over the keyboard.
I have transferred (very easily) loads of music and photos to it and the applications for playing music and viewing photos is fantastic. I mostly use my phone to go on the internet (mainly Facebook) and I have got to say it is much easier than fireing up the laptop and the handset is far better than the Nokia's I have had before (recently Nokia N95 8GB)
The Ovi store is brilliant for downloading widgets and games etc. I have had great fun so far with that.
I think the phone is light and easy to use. Very easy to customise and just lovely to look at and show off to your friends (and boy have ...

Advantages: great screen, camera, storage Disadvantages: cost
hey guys!
this phone is great. no two ways about it. havent personally heard of any problems occurring with software, which happened quite quickly with the original n95 and the n96, so hopefully this is getting better.
STORAGE
the phone itself comes complete with 32GB of storage, a massive amount for a phone, with the iphone only offering a 16GB max. also ,the N97 has expandable storage of an extra 16GB, so thats a massive 48GB in total! plenty of space for movies (which you can watch) tv shows, music photos etc.
DISPLAY
3.5inch screen which has a handy little tilt in it, so you can actually set it flat on a table and still use the keypad, much like a teeny weeny laptop, or you can watch your movies etc like that.
16m colours so very high quality.
FEATURES
ok, the phone has a 5mp camera, which is pretty good as ...
