After using i-phone for some time, I decided to switch to N97, as my experience with N96 was ok. The phone comes with a charger, headphone, phone-case, stylus, USB port and OVI suite CD. Like N96 it does not have car charger and output cable to TV (may be to reduce price)
Here is my review:
Pros:
Compared to the launch price for N96 (Rs. 36, 000), this phone is aggresively priced. However, if you are not in hurry wait for some more time till the price is Rs. 28, 000.
The design and keyboard of the phone is good.
Ovi store and 24X7 online option is good to have.
One you get used to the features, you will find it easy to operate.
Cons
Touch screen is not as good as i-phone. Some times the response is so late that you end of pressing screen twice-thrice.
Phone hangs a lot, which irritates.
Live TV feed - like N96 is missing.
its better to turn off the automatic screen rotation off - as it hangs the phone and while placing call you will realize that this is big irritation.
Battery drains out quickly.
I would suggest to go for this expensive gadget, only if you are a die-hard fan of Nokia and want to spend this amount.
