How N97 stands up to 5800 Express Music

It's the battle between Mediocre and Highend a plain Express Music to a N Series Flagship but nehind all the glitz it's I think it's a 5800 redressed with a larger screen . Let's compare the two

Screen : N97 - 3.5 inches 640 x 360 Pixel Touchscreen
5800 - 3.2 Inches 640 X 360 Pixel Touchscreen

Camera : N97 - 5 MP Carl Zeius Duel LEd Flash
5800 - 3.2 MP Carl Zeius Duel LEd Flash

OS : Both Symbian S60 V5

Onbaord / Expandable : N97 - 32 GB + 16 GB Card
5800 - 8 Gb Card

input MEthod : N97 - Touch screen Keyboard and slide out keyboard
5800 - Touch Screen Keyboard

both has GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm headphone jack

so where is the difference Price yup there the difference matters

N97 - 550 Euros Expected in 2nd Half 2009
5800 - 330 Euros in India ( Jan 09 Launch )

So for 220 Euros all I get is a lrger screen on board memory , some widgets which I think could e installed later on 5800 , a keyboard . no Thanks

reminds me of N95 -8gb and N96 scenario again

I still say It's just a redressed , hyped up 5800 Express Music , please prove me wrong

What about considering the
- Ngage platform ?
- The full querty pad ?
- The tilt screen?

I had both the phones in my hands at the same time. Once you get to play with both, you will say why 5800 is called 'mid-range' !

My Dear Gagan , First i'm honored that you have visited by blog all the way from Finland Land Of Nokia . I envy you for having both at the same time , wish I ever had the same opportunity ;) ( speaking my geek mind )
I agree 5800 is " Mid Range " but for a Mid Range price . With N-97 the base software is same as 5800 , N-Gage well I'm not a gamer and it does not fill my need but ofcourse rumour mill says N-gage will be available sometime after launch .
Full Qwerty Keypad is a plus as is larger tilt screen , again it's according to the user's need . I've seen people with E71's only using it to make calls while people with E51 even N958gb using it as a communication device .
For the price factors involved I'll still go for 5800XM , only ig the build quality is improved , people are reporting about the cheap quality material being used and phone developing cracks within a week's of use
