Nokia N97 vs Palm Pre

The Nokia N97 is creating waves in the cell phone market today – ensuring that it is the choice of the privileged, knowledge and educated business class; we don’t entirely blame the public for running behind the N97. It definitely has a lot of positives to its piggy and it would have been a surprise had this phone not turned out to be a show stopper. I had been looking for a classy phone for some time that could have been my pride and the onlooker’s envy and the answer was in the N97 that I am waiting to purchase. I would personally rate it the best decision of my life!

What threw me off the handle was the price – simply mind blowing. While I am all set to burn a whole in my pocket I was stunned to see the price tag. If for example you compare it with the Palm Pre it comes much cheaper and to be very honest, I did have second thoughts on what it would mean on the quality of the mobile. But the research that I did just went on to prove, that there will be nothing absolutely against me buying the N97 – Nokia is proving to be user friendly yet again!

The camera on the N97 is incomparable with anything else that that anybody else can offer on a mobile. The Palm pre will provide you only a 3.1 mega pixel camera, whereas the N97 will give you clearer resolution thanks to its five mega pixel camera – I am just waiting to take snaps just about everything and anything as I’ve been hearing the greatness of this camera time and again now. I simply can’t wait to lay my hands on the N97 – the pride of my life!

Data entry is another great feature that you need to talk of when you are discussing the N97. You have a normal QWERTY keyboard and if you don’t feel like typing, you can either write or use the onscreen keyboard – that is Nokia’s way of giving you choice and variety in life. If you go in for a Palm pre, unfortunately you will just have to use the QWERTY keyboard like every other normal phone – it is a great disappointment indeed. Using the handwriting option will also help give a personal touch when you have to send those special messages!

All said and done, the memory is the clearly the best asset of the N97. With a baffling 32 GB that hardly anybody offers, Nokia is clearly a trendsetter. You can just keep storing stuff without even looking back and the closest the Palm pre can get to you is to offer one fourth of what the N97 is offering. Yes – the palm pre comes with a 8 GB memory built into the phone. This makes the Palm pre play the role of a second fiddle to the N97. For the N97, it seems to be a race won well enough, a race won with a big span of difference!
