While Nokia came out with its flagship N97 device this June at a price of around Rs 35,000, the new iPhone 3GS (where S stands for speed) was released in the US on June 19 and will soon makes its touch felt later this year in India.
Its Indian price hasn't been announced yet but is likely to be close to the N97.
So how do these phones compare, touchscreen-by-touchscreen? More importantly, should you go for the N97 or wait for the new iPhone?
Here is a checklist that might just make your task easier if you were to choose one of the two.
Touchscreen interface
The smooth touchscreen interface has been the single biggest selling point of the iPhone since its debut. The capacitive screen is highly responsive and the interface features multi-touch gestures for things like zooming in and out of maps. The 3GS has a more powerful processor, which makes the interface even quicker than before.
The N97 has a resistive touchscreen that is much less responsive especially for scrolling. As of now its touch interface doesn't work as well as that of the iPhone either. On the plus side it does allow for stylus use, which enables features like handwriting and drawing. Overall the iPhone is clearly superior in this category
WINNER IPHONE
