Nokia 5800 or N97

Can't decide which one to go for Nokia 5800 or N97 when it comes out in July ish.
Mainly after a phone that got GPS, Wifi, good size screen for videos.
Which one do you think is better?

N97 is a high end nokia and the 5800 is mid range.

One is free on £20/£25 per month controls, the other certainly wont be!

As said, the N97 is the superior phone but it comes with a superior price tag and superior bulk. Depends how big your wallet and pockets are.

One isnt even out and isnt in the same price range... what a silly thread.

I have the N95 and it's a fantastic phone. Great camera & applications, nice internet browser, good video/music playback etc... It's also quite smart-looking I'd say. Some people prefer the tiny, lightweight phones but I like feeling like I'm actually holding something in my hand and not just a piece of plastic, lol. Assuming the N97 is even better than the N95, I'd say go for it.

I didnt like the touch screen in the 5800... so i suppose thats quite a thing!

The n97 will be double the price of the 5800, not really the same class of phones!

Id class the n95 as a large phone, the n97 is gonna be huge!

What about the n96? Dont know much about them... but thats the inbetween of the n95 and n97

N97 preorder is up on the nokia US webpage. definitely going for the N97

Just wondering if the N97 is really "all that" compared to the 5800.

As said before they are 2 different classes of phone. The N97 looks the better phone on paper but as also said the 5800 is free on contract and you'll probably pay a couple of hundred quid for the N97.

N97, looks amazing, although my exitement has been dented abit as i have heard rumours that tomtom wont be releasing a new tomtom mobile navigator for this phone. How true this i dont know, im still trying to get to the bottom of it.

Tom Tom gave up on symbian a LONG time ago, that's old news. However Garmin is great, so it's not a problem really.
