Nokia N97 vs HTC Touch Pro 2

Both these phones are coming out relatively soon. Which one would you recommend? or is there a better one that you would recommend?

if the touch pro 2 comes out with the same old qualcomm crap (i.e. not the snapdragon) i will not touch it.

n97 looks interesting and i like symbian os than of winmo so i would give that a t-r-y

I think he is referring to processors/processing power of the devices. Although aren't the HTC devices slowed down by Windows Mobile, not neccessarily the processing power?

i don't know about the snapdragon that he's talking about
but the other one is the processor. i believe the HTC TP2 is using the same one as the predecessor
i've had bad experiences with samsung. i had the d900, shittiest battery life on it. Wasn't just me, a bunch of people have experienced a similar problem (the battery would last about 3 hours WITHOUT usage)
also my girlfriend wanted to pick up a samsung f800 (i think that was the model) i tried to talk her out of it, and then the representative agreed with me, so i got her the nokia e71 (which she now loves).

Umm, Yes when exactly is the N97 comming out? For purchase local and/or import? I've read a bunch of "expected" release dates but none were that acurate or specific. I do Apologize in advance if this is a stupid question or for any inconvenience. Thanks!

It's been announced for a June 2009 release, but I don't know if that is just a particular region or if it's it's going to be global
if it's region specific, it might be a while till Canada actually gets it

Ppl on hofo who had an interview with reps from Nokia said that NAM and Euro will be released at the same time.


That's what they said.

Apparently Telus is getting the Touch Pro2 World Edition, along with the HTC Snap.
