Positive reviews	The other side of the story
Supremely powerful, yet easy to use.. :)	Nokia Care fails right to the top
Would recommend it to anyone...	Nokia is doomed...
A series of good review links here	For true touchscreen fans, we'd look somewhere else...
The Nokia N97 is not a "bad" phone...	...hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen phones...
	Sorry Nokia - time to work on those touchscreen phones
	God oh God I wish someone wrote this review before I bought this phone
	It's not a neraly perfect device...
	The best touchscreen interface is elsewhere...
	...flagship phone that sports lots of features, but doesn't quite master any of them
	...lagging some way behind (competition)
