@smover Yeah, i love both the efficiency and simplicity of S60, and the fact that WinMo is so customizable. Overall, i feel the N97 is a slightly more well-rounded package than the Touch Pro 2 -- better camera with dedicated shutter button, dual flash and lens cover, a standard 3.5mm head phone jack, and enough built-in memory to function as a media player with the option of additional expansion. But the high res screen of the Touch Pro 2, the keyboard (which looks better than the N97's), and the possibilities of Windows Mobile really appeal to me. It's going to be an expensive summer. :)
Also, Amazon lists the N97 at $603. i'd still like to see it in the $550 range, but that's the cost of early adoption.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
