CRM softeware 2. External Monitor (and keyboard) connector (we all know about the bluetooth keyboard) or adapter. 3. Re-introduction of native fax (see 9500 communicator) and 4 if you can, WiFi video messaging (see e71 two camera's). With the above arsenal mobile workers and professionals /consumers will have a single fully connected device they can rely on wherever they are.................you'll have the consumer and business market sewn-up. Hello Nokia,

You have the hard and software to make your top of the range communicators global travellers, but what mobile workers like myself would run to your doors for is some sort of:
1. CRM softeware
2. External Monitor (and keyboard) connector (we all know about the bluetooth keyboard) or adapter.
3. Re-introduction of native fax (see 9500 communicator) and
4 if you can, WiFi video messaging (see e71 two camera’s).

With the above arsenal mobile workers and professionals /consumers will have a single fully connected device they can rely on wherever they are……………..you’ll have the consumer and business market sewn-up.

The N97 and many other S60 devices offer access to Web2.0 not just as a concept but a working solution to end users. N97 "N97 - Basically a pocket-sized laptop" is closer to fact and consideration that RIM's Lazaridis claiming the Storm "Is a netbook" lol. N97 allows the user and with MobileWeb Server others to access the storage, traverse many networks without an APN price plan restriction, and true global network coverage & protocol support which the BB does not; not without a corporate infrastucture which is becoming more of an expensive Financial expenditure ($$ = BES) for business.

It cannot be both in their respective semantic definitions, and at the same time, starting from the framework that the N97 is a laptop might do it more disservice than help it. That being said, it would be nice to see how the N97 and future Nokia devices respond to all of this computing power being in the pocket, that is, adjusting themselves to users rather than in UI and UX expecting people to just figure it out.
