Nokia N97 vs iPhone 3GS : A Comparative Study

nokia n97 is the father of the all cell phones………………..

iphone is the best of all

i think n97 is better as it has a better camera and its unscratchable with a full qwerty keyboard so u can write with a high speed and for the internet its amazing with a great memory so i tried it and i liked it

nokia n97 is good.but iphone is better.i’m 19 years old.using n97 makes me feel like an oldman.but i think iphone suite me better coz its more stylish..lol

For Status Symbol go for Iphone
Else
Nokia N97 is the Answer

There are things which N97 can do and Iphone Can’t , but there are none that Iphone can do and Nokia N97 can’t. Better check the phones personally and get a true picture, these are all Biased comments written by Paid Iphone writers.

Living with Nokia for the past 10 Years and pretty satisfied, currently own Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97.

this best info for phone

I think N97 best phone at yet.

idont any of them but did you think about nokia 97 has fron camera and iphone doesnt i’m so confused about waht i’m going to buy can you help me please by telling the truth ??

I have read all posts with a smile on my face. The nokia users got a habbit to discuss what it has or what they have improved.
1. Nokia has radio and Iphone doesn’t have? Well, check app store and you’ll find out thousands radio stations even international ones.. (if you don’t know how to use a phone then don’t comment about it)

2. Just search on google and see how many big and serious companies have produced their own softwares just for Iphone.. Are they stupid?

3. Hundreds of Live TV stations can be found on App store which is absolutely a revolution..

4. Nokia has nearly used all letters and numbers for its phones and look at the differences.. It’s just silly.

5. Somebody mentioned that flash cannot be used.. Well that’s true however nearly all flash-based websites have their applications for Iphone such as Youtube. And even others can be used by using extra softwares available in apple store..

6. Finally check IPhone4. Then we can discuss more..

As an old Nokia users so far I was using mobile phones just for phone calls or text messages.. With iPhone I have everything available in my hand..

Thanks to them.

I have used both phones and liked some features on one, but also liked other features on the other. Yes, the nokia has a better camera compared to the 3Gs with its 5megapixels and its superior lens, but if you wanted really good pictures wouldn’t you just buy a proper camera? Apple have spent more time on the functionality and usability of their phone, having had more time to develop and refine it than Nokia have, but they have missed out features that you would expect from a phone with a price tag as high as it is… eg:
Bluetooth file transfer to other phones, camera flash and a video camera on the front for video calling.

BUT, the nokia is way more glitchy and the features it has that are also on the iPhone are not as good and sometimes not even worth being there.

Overall i would pick the iPhone because has better functionality than the nokia and has a much more streamlined and easier to use OS than the N97 does.

Btw, i had a much more detailed and thought out comment, but i accidentaly deleted most of it :(.

Also, iPhones dont like 1.5t utes driving over them… they dont work after it (Trust me, i know).

hi. . I never used iPhone. .since I know myself I have NOKIA. .but when nokia n97 and iphone 3gs came out,, I was confused between these 2 devices,, and FINALLY I bought nokia n97..BUT NOW ,,I’m fuckinn disagree with nokia n97. . I thought they will improve it. . It’s still VERY SLOWLY!!you’ll have scratches on your CAMERA after a few month! and OVI apps SUX! I NEVER gonna buy nokia AGAIN!
maybe iPhone 3gs is better! I’ll try it> I DON’T RECOMEND NOKIA n97!!

there is no comparison at all because the iphone is far away better than any other mobile made not just the n97 the iphone has got all what you need in a mobile

omg, i want a 3gs iphone because my n97 is so not worth the money you paid for. here in the philippines i bought it for like 35 thousand pesos and the value just dropped without me noticing to 16 thousand. yeah i guess there are many like me who paid for this piece of shit that’s why they sold theirs.

I am confused.I am doing a comparison between N97 Mini and iPhone 3GS.Dont forget the cost analysis.3GS is almost double the price.Please advise.

i tell the truth and nothing but the truth.in terms of versatility longevity and practicality .nokia wins but in terms of convinience and style.iphone wins.

hey!!!!!!!
iused both of the phone but after some time nokia n97’s flap take problem for you .
so, at my opinion apple is much better!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the nokia n97, and its a big waste of money
its touchscreen is irresponsive, the speed is shitt. i recommend the iphone because it is faster, its has 1000s of apps which are good unlike nokia,all the apps are crap. iPhone lover

I Choose Nokia N97 Cause its have Flash, 46GB ,Touchscreen , Memory Card , GPS ,WiFi, Fast Internet Browser ,and i can change battery.Theres more Ngage Games for Nokia N97 its cool and awesome than Iphone OS.Please Support Nokia!!!!

If your world revolves arrownd : music+pictures+video+business … then nokia is for you. Because for music you have fm transmitter 32gb to be used as a massive data storage that can harves music from all your pc’s hard drives without the need of specific soft (itunes). 5mpx with a less destructive noise reduction algorithm than iphone and better lens-resolution, and business for it’s qwerty keyboard, and office suite better suited for mobile (via upgrade, if you try to edit a document on the iphone you know what I mean).

But if your life revolves arownd games, viewing pictures, fashion, apple products, simple web browsing (no flash) viewing and listening to web content like tv and web radios … then ipod is the rigght choice for you.

hey look if you read this comment pay attention to it the n97 is a much better product because iphone cant recieve or transfer data through bluetooth and its also really dull looking compared to the n97 it doesn’t even have video calling or i guess even half the features which the n97 has well of course the senstivity of the touch in iphone is way better but still according to me the iphone is just an ipod touch that has a camera and can obviously call

lets not forget that apple has a lawsuit against them from nokia for using there technology to make the dam icrap even work on a cell network!!! I owned a icrap for a month then sold it cause my n97 does what the icrap doesnt

I have n97 nokia is better

i have nokia n97 an its sucks because its too slow if i have 10gb on my phone it take minutes to get in some app or folder im buzin iphone 3gs this week

i love nokia n97

both phones are great and i think n97 mini is much better than the n97. check it out

for Multimedia .. i’ll go to iPhone, smoother, reliable and its background about iPod was good too.

The N97 is far superior, and the N97 Mini is even better than that (in terms of looks, feel, and responsiveness-only has 8GB internal memory though.
Having yoused bothe the iPhone and The N97 mini, deam the mini the winner as it combines power style and usability better than the iPhone.

I do not see whats wrong wit the N97’s web browser.

Though both gret phones i would give the N97 Mini 9.5/10 and the iPhone 3GS about 7.5/10

I wanna buy a new phone, but after reading all these discussions, I am getting more mixed up between buying iPhone 3Gs or Nokia N97.
HELP

i am thinking to take Nokiya n97, but I am confused in between Nokiya n97 and Blakeberry 9700

Hi,
i am planning to buy a i phone, what are the options available ? can any one tell me ?

I don’t like the messaging feature in iPhone and this is just a simple feature that any other phone has but in iPhone it’s difficult and frustrating, you can’t even accidentally tilt the phone too much or it will change the keypad to a different angle! it drives me crazy!
