The author has a whinge about the fact they can’t use a computer but blames it on the Nokia software then goes on to compare the phone to an iphone and say overall the phone is pretty mediocre – despite the fact the specs on the phone are up there with any other smart phone.

Read on for another biased review from the SMH.

This piece is pure opinion, and you are not an unbiased source yourself. You can throw all the technical crap in a phone you want, but in the end the user needs it to work quickly and effectively. It’s exactly what the article specifically says the N97 DOESN’T DO. The interface is not intuitive, and he says that the quality of the 5MP sensor is flat. I’d rather have a sharp 3MP picture (iPhone) than a blurry 5MP one. Megapixels don’t matter at the end of the day.

“all metal garbage skip that he obviously lives in” – You, sir, have absolutely no grounds to base this on. You made it up, pure and simple. And it IS something to consider if downloads fail on the device, whether you deem it important or not. Also, ‘network connectivity problems’ don’t explain why his support ticket was never answered.

You conveniently leave out that the iPhone 3GS is capable of much faster 3G speeds as well.

That aside, from a software perspective, the Nokia N97 is simply inferior to the iPhone, which is the point that the SMH author was trying to convey, but failed miserably.

Someone should actually do some serious research to find out how much money Apple is actually using for this kind of activity. The biggest blogs at least get a lot of benefits from bashing the competition, no question about it.
