Well, Nokia surprised everyone with the touchscreen slider N97. It’s like an iPhone alike. But dare I say... better? I don't know, you judge. Nokia saw what people want nowadays and adapted it, applied in the new N97. After trying out their first touchscreen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which I think it's not very stable cause it's the 1st ever touch scrren phone for Nokia. Thus, the Nokia N97 will certainly be the best smartphone of Nokia for quite some time, FOR NOW.

Here are some of its features, which will make you choose it:

* a 3.5 inch widescreen 16:9 touchscreen

* up to 37 hours of music / up to 4.5 hours of video
* A-GPS and GPS
* HSDPA, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, stereo Bluetooth connectivity
