Nokia N98
There are no real images of the Nokia N98 yet; This is what can be found on the Internet, but it is just a cleverly made fake, but in any case it does not seem to differ much from what the original mobile phone should be.
Technical characteristics (rumored online):
Il Nokia N98 It will have a design similar to the iPhone or at least very similar, except for the menu selection keys, which would be reduced to only two.
- Weight : : It should be around 135 grams.
- Screen : 3,5″ touch screen, 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 16 million colors and 30 fps.
- camera : 7,2 Megapixels, with 5x optical and 20x digital zoom, equipped with the usual Carl Zeiss optical lenses. Internal VGA camera to make video calls.

As interesting features, in addition to support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA network connections, there is also the presence of a 3D graphics accelerator for games, an integrated AGPS satellite navigator with maps, free voice prompts and, finally, a Media player.

personal considerations
In short, as the main novelties we find a new operating system, a more powerful camera that honestly seems useless to me, since the size of the sensor mounted in that small space can also lead to a higher image resolution, but who knows with what loss of quality, unfortunately I see it as a stupid race for megapixels for a marketing factor, what worries me most is the battery life; In the end you run the risk of finding yourself with a small electronic gem that does millions of things, but in times of need leaves you with a dead battery, to the point that you cannot make a call :) a paradox! From the videos seen online about the N97 and from what I could see with my own eyes about the iPhone and other cell phones like HTC Diamond, the iPhone is unbeatable in terms of build quality, it has a touch screen fluidity that is still 1 one step above, nokia, htc, samsung and sony; check it out for yourself at any well-stocked mobile phone store, as well as the visual quality of the iPhone screen; which however has some defects such as the default impossibility of not being able to send MMS, or send files to another mobile phone via Bluetooth, but at the same time, it has a sea of applications that the other competitors probably cannot have (in terms of quantity and quality), but only by knowing how to unlock the iPhone
For those who want to unleash the full potential of the iPhone, I publish this article written by ubik:

For the technical characteristics, for example if you are interested in the camera, do not rely only on the number of megapixels, but on the quality of the photos. I tested the iPhone's 2 megapixel camera and it takes good pictures in terms of detail comparable to the 3,2 and 5 megapixel cameras of today, the only flaw perhaps being the lack of flash! As for the battery, don't expect it to last more than 48 hours, unless you keep your phone as an ornament! In terms of multimedia capabilities, I see the iPhone having a slight advantage for watching videos and Nokia smartphones for using the radio and MP3 player.
Well, let's wait for the release of the N97 and N98 in stores and then insert some more details.
