However netbooks will surely be bit cheaper than the N97 but N97 will be offering even more portability as its even more smaller than the netbooks. Here is the man who developed this ultimate phone.

Price
Surely with its tempting features this phone makes its image of a “Dream Phone” in every geek’s mind but the only negative point in this phone as of now is its price. Nokia N97 is expected to ship with a price tag of ~$712 which is 33,500 INR in the First Quarter (Q1) of 2009. This price will surely go down following the trend of previous Nseries devices after the cream crowd is wiped off. But for that you will have to wait for Quarter 4 (Q4) of 2009.
