Nokia 97

Now this is a phone that is interesting. Much more so than the G1 or maybe the iPhone. Why? because it has a bit of memory (I do have a lot of music), a flash (though the iPhone seems to take decent pictures) and a high res camera, keyboard (though it does look funny).

Features that are common with all
a-GPS, digital camera (3.2 m on g1, 2m on iphone, 5.2m on n97), video camera (not on iPhone), keyboard (physical on g1, n97, virtual on iPhone), maps (nokia maps on n97, google maps on g1, iPhone)

Drawbacks that I can see so far is that it probably won't be subsidized in the US making it a hefty investment (at 600-700) compared to the 200 or so with the G1 and the iPhone.

Also developers have to make new gadgets for the symbian operating system. I wonder if the symbian is going to be a viable os since nokia has bought it, and I don't believe anyone else is developing phones for it besides Nokia.
