As I have mentioned in a couple of previous posts, the Nokia N97 will be coming to the mobile arena mid 2009, and looking at what is available about the N97, once it’s unleashed it could possible pose a threat to the might of the Apple iPhone.
From the images and video I’ve seen the Nokia N97 is certain on par, if not more attractive in design than the Apple iPhone. The N97 has a full kick out QWERTY keyboard which is a marked advantage over the Apple iPhone for a start, and it has 3G and WiFI so stands the ground with the iPhone easily.
The Apple iPhone has dominated the mobile market for some time now, and even though smartphones that were supposed “iPhone killers” such as the G1 and the BlackBerry Storm are out none can match the iPhone’s might. But just maybe once the Nokia N97 hits, we will have a real Apple iPhone killer.
The guys over at Engadget are saying the N97 is worth waiting for, we agree, so make sure you come back to Phones Review as I’m sure this is one battle you wouldn’t want to miss.

Just about to purchase an iPhone later this month but will look forward to an update on how well the N97 sells and performs in the marketplace before I make a decision. So far the UI for the Apple is the winner but the Nokia has a faster more crisper look and feel + 5MP camera.
