I voted “All the above”
Can’t wait to get the white N97 in my hands in 9 weeks time or so.

I also voted for “All the above”. However, WiFi, 3.5mm audio jack and the qwerty-keyboard are must-haves
Cheers,

Is it true that the N97 will be lacking a voip client? Apart from this, it’s a great contender for an iphone killer!

I love everything on it. I wish Nokia will release a 2GB internal ram version to lower the price. I cant even consume 2GB micro SD card on my N82.
I believe 90% of the regular people on the streets cannot consume this large memory rather, so Nokia has to consider lowering the memory to lower the price.

@gregg003,
I cant say id agree with you. A screen that size means ull have movies etc stored on it, and probably use it as your main mp3 player. Along with pre-loading maps of the world (1gb+). Ive 6 gigs on my current n95, and while i still have a gig or 2 to spare, its just because i dont have that many videos on it, and i dont use it as a music player. if i had 48gb, i would pack all my stuff onto it.

@Dos, it really depends on how you will used the phone. On my 2GB memory, I have 4 .avi movies saved (120MB each), 178 mp3 songs (5MB each), .flv (YouTube files) 15 videos usually music video’s with lyrics, few snapshots, podcasts, eBooks etc and yet i have 300MB left.
If I have a 2MB internal memory on N97 plus the microSD of at least 2MB, that would be to much memory for me
Nokia should consider having 2GB internal memory version of this phone.

@gregg003, I’m not going to complain about the memory. I have an N95 8Gb with only 2Gb free, 80Gb, 60Gb and 20Gb iPods all full of music I got over the years and an 8Gb Zune also full. I love my music and won’t compress it any smaller than 128bps m4a.

@NokiaBT – When you say DNLA is lacking, has it been officially stated that the N97 won’t include things like UPnP? My N95 includes a UPnP server and client, I would be very surprised if this kind of functionality is absent from the N97. It’s great to be able to browse the content on my phone from my TV via the PS3.

@Adam Doran, Yeah, but if you could do it via your washing machine it would be better

@Dos, I don’t disagree there. Everything should be running TCP/IP with an SNMP server for monitoring and anything else you can think of. An SSH server never hurts either.

the spec of n97 is awesome except from its CAMERA..its a downgrade to have a 5mp cam with low end dled flash..n95 was released few years back and still the cam for the nseries flagship is a downgrade..very disappointing for many persons.but still the overall spec will be great and consider to buy n97

Whilst The N97 Looks Decent, The Palm Pre Still Owns xD

If you see all the attachments on the e-mails then one does not need a BlackBerry. If the N97 can do the push mail I think lots of business customers will buy it. One should be able to see the file and be able to edit it as well. Then it is useful otherwise it will not be any competition to BlackBerry. Is Nokia listening?

DLNA is a kind of bluetooth except that it directly uses the WiFi for exchange your files between another DLNA phone like the N95 8GB or the futur Samsung HD etc… but you are right it supports UPnP

I think the Highspeed downloads is the main feature of this device. Anyway, i have voted for all above.

I’m hoping they manage to open up or get 3rd party gadgets for my Ovi picture storage. I’ve been using Flickr to blog from my N95 to blogger.com, but Flickr wants to have money, and Ovi currently can’t communicate with blogger.com directly. So now I’ve changed to shozu.com, but with a N97 in my hand I’d like to blog and geotag in one move.

everybody has a point and I definitely agree that the N97 is packed with powerful features but nobody seems to have paid attention to the touchscreen capability, instead of using “resistive touchscreen” it would be so much better it they used “capacitive touchscreen”…I know N97’s touchscreen capability is pretty accurate but it’s still not as accurate as the iPhone multi-touch capacitive screen where you almost do not have to apply force and no need for a stylus
