Apple iPhone 3GS VS Nokia N97

Nokia's latest in its high end smart phone series is the Nokia N97

. It is the first N series phone having a touch screen. Also having a storage of 32 GB, Nokia maps, a 5 megapixel camera, Music service and lot of other exciting features, this phone is proving to be a smart opponent to Apple's latest release which is the iPhone 3GS. Their specifications are mostly identical including their dimensions too.

Just like the Apple iPhone 3GS, on the Nokia N97, you just have to simply touch the screen and move it in the direction where you want to scroll it. However in the Nokia N97, one feature that is missing is the pinch which is used for shrinking and enlarging the screen. The major difference between the iphone and the nokia n97 is the fact that the apple iPhone is designed with the absence of a keyboard while on the other hand the Nokia N97 has been designed with added touch features to the keyboard device. This has a deep implication for the users' experience. And mostly the iPhone succeeds in a better way than a Nokia N97.

Unlike all the previous nokia N series phones, the N 97's home screen can easily be customized with different widgets which allows the user to see the different types of information like the weather, emails received, friend's status or the summary of the user's facebook account and all this works with the touch screen too. When we compare both the phones' springboard, Nokia has an entirely different approach. Its home screen gives a lot of useful information on the deck while the iPhone has focused on an easy access to its applications and they are easier to use as compared to the N97 as its applications are hidden two folds away from the main screen. The iPhone is highly optimized for filing, reading, forwarding and deleting the emails that also makes it an overall smooth experience. One major improvement which is required in the N97 emails is the auto-correct feature which will allow spelling mistakes to be corrected more easily.

The N97 has a 5 megapixel camera and a dual LED flash which is as good as today's any snapshot cameras. The digital zoom of the N97 is pretty good too as compared to the iphone. Both iPhone as well as the N97 comes preloaded with the mapping software, the ability to plot a route ad a compass. Browsing the web is mostly equivalent on both the phones. The N97 browser and the Safari on the Apple iPhone 3GS, are both equipped with a webkit browsers, meaning that they both can render the pages almost identically. However, iPhone has an edge because of its multi-touch pinch gesture which makes it easy to read and display the pages on the iphone.

Talking about the music feature, iphone has always had an edge, however, the N97 has also very good music features. The playback application the N97 is not as fine as in the iPhone. As for battery, Nokia N97 is surely a winner as compared to the iphone's bad power consumption. The Apple iphone 3GS as the screen dimensions of 480x320 while the n97 wins with the dimensions of 640x360.

In the end we can say that the N97 is a little less polished than the Apple iphone and that iphone's experience is more simply integrated overall than the Nokia N97. But both the handsets have their own benefits, pros and cons. If you want to own one of these handsets, you can purchase Nokia N97 deals, N97 Mini deals or Apple iPhone 3GS deals in UK which are available with various lucrative mobile mobile phone offers in UK offered by many reputed mobile phone retailers.
