Are you from the US dave? Nokia has always had difficulty penetrating the US market, and that might explain their poor "positioning" versus the iPhone. Heck, I'm pretty sure anyone would have a hard time overcoming the tremendous brand attention Apple enjoys. So far, there are two things that make the N97 stand out for me: it uses a higher-capacity battery (1500mAh) compared to its predecessors (950mAh for the N95 and N96), and it literally packs every feature Nokia has come out with into one phone. It also runs on a platform that has long supported MMS, copy-paste, and multi-tasking. The iPhone still provides a more responsive user experience, and enjoys the support of more developers. Stay tuned for more updates on this phone as I provide them, and I hope this has helped you a bit! :) There’s no definite info about a 12 megapixel camera phone from SE, though I’ll post details as soon as they’re for sure.

Doesnt feel as responsive to the touch. Being a punter I have to decide which phone to purchase based on info supplied by people like yourselves and limited useage in shops, visit an apple store and you can play for hours, cant do that with the n97! I am now leaning towards an I-phone, however is there a rumour that sony are bringing out a 12 mp camera phone? really disappointed with the N97, just doesnt look good and isnt well positioned in shops like the I-phone.
