I've already told you about Nokia N97. The predictions for the new member of N-series mobile phones  are that it will be the best mobile phone of 2009. The Nokia N97 is the world’s most advance mobile computer specially designed to meet the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, according to Nokia’s official press release.

I think N97 will be the Apple iPhone killer. Why? The main reason is N97 has all the specs of the iPhone and so much more. I will add to that the touch screen, and Sybmian S60 5th edition software. And the bast part is that every flaw which was found in iPhone was fixed.

Nokia N97 Specifications:

You already know I am not a huge iPhone fan.  Why to pay so much for a phone with 2MP camera?  Let's take a look at this iPhone killer specs, and you will agree with me:

* 3.5 inch TFT Touchscreen Display
* 360 x 640 Screen Resolution
* QWERTY Keyboard with Haptics
* 32GB of Internal Storage Memory
* 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens
* GPS with Nokia Maps 3.0 app
* Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Infrared
* Accelerometer and Proximity Sensor
* microSD card supporting upto 16GB External Memory

N97 focuses on desktop widgets. This will allow you to connect to various social networks. It will be the most comfortable phone to socialise your online life. And the best part is that third-party developed widgets will also be available to download. I know there are a lot of good people who just wait to develop something for this super-phone. 

Nokia N97 is expected to be available all over Europe in June 2009 with a price tag of 550 euros ($695).  You can compare this price to the iPhone's price, but the comparison will stop there. I don't see why people spend a lot of money for a brand. Well, that's over now with the new N97.

Nokia has announced plans to make the open source Qt toolkit available under GNU's Lesser General Public License (LGPL), alongside the existing GPL and commercial licensing options. This change could significantly boost Qt adoption, redefine the economics of cross-platform programming, and dramatically reshape the landscape of commercial application development on the Linux desktop.
