What if the battery fails? or reaches the end of its life? Is it too much to ask to be able to swop it out oneself?
I concur that the cpu/ram in the N97 is poor considering that this is their current flagship N series device, BUT firmware can improve the performance, by optimizing the current device hardware/software.
Lets not forget that the cpu/ram on the N97 is similar to the pre-3Gs unit, and yet its performance is not that far behind the 3Gs.
iPhone Apps has had 2+ years of evolution so it deserves to have loads of apps - lets face it a lot of the apps are 'gimicky' [nothing wrong with that!]. Symbian/nokia has only just woken up to the fact that individuals wish to/can make their own apps and make them available to the world. Give it another 6-12 months when a more accurate comparison can be made.
Multi-tasking can be as simple as having music playing whilst you deal with email/twitter/facebook.
I am not anti-iPhone, in fact I still rate it as a design classic which has set the benchmark for others to chase. Competition is good as it keeps everyone on their toes!
