Hello,

 

I realise this is something which has probably been discussed on here many
times, but I would nevertheless appreciate some of your collective thoughts.

 

I would like to get myself a touch phone, however following my disastrous
and short lived relationship with the Nokia X6 i am struggling to find
anything decent amongst the touch range.

 

I have been thinking of choosing either the Nokia 5800 or the Nokia N97 as
these seem to have the best feature sets out of all the Nokia phones I have
looked at on the web, and also they are very amenable to having their
firmware tweaked and modified, which is something I'm definitely into.  If I
were to buy either of these phones, it would probably be from eBay, at a
reduced price, so that if I should inadvertently brick the phone beyond
repair, it would not be such a major loss.  However, it would also be nice
to have a touch phone that I can just play with, and it might even become my
second everyday work phone.

 

I note that the N97 has a higher specification camera and a larger screen,
but I would be interested to know how the two phones compare in terms of
usability, both in terms of comfort and accessibility.  Also, if you have
any comments or tips for either of these phones, I would be very grateful to
receive them.

 

I have ordered both of these phones from Nokia on trial, however they will
not be here for several days.  I would like to have at least made a
tentative decision in my mind by the time they arrive, so I can then go
ahead and finally source the phone on which I eventually decide.

 

Thank you in advance for your help,
