What do you think?
This device looks great. I was worried that the new MusicXpress was going to be the device that Nokia put up against the iPhone, and it just doesn’t measure up. But this new N97 really is an interesting device. It seems to have the best mix of touchscreen and qwerty keyboard that I have seen, taking advantage of both and hopefully avoiding the criticisms that the Blackberry Storm has been receiving.
Oh yeah… and when can I expect to get mine?
