Which phone is better? Blackberry Curve 8900 or Nokia N97?

by clintonjeff

I’m considering export a new phone and have lessened down the choice between the Blackberry Curve 8900 and the Nokia N97. I am leaning more towards the Nokia, but have been told negative things about it and read a couple of not so excellent reviews online…

Any additional information and a comparison of the two would be very helpful.

I essentially need it for (as well as the standard phone features such as phone calls, texts etc.) photos, music, emailing, social networking and diary keeping.

Thanks for any help

N97 for the younger age
8900 for grown-up/ more business type people.

SLOW

no themes
no hotmail for e-mail client
no sparkle

can’t save bluetoothed files to external
when your writing an sms and press “o” the curser goes up (glitch)
incapability to remove defaults
500 max texts to hold
turns off sometimes without warning
battery life is dodgy (basically charge it each nite)
no 3.5mm headphone port

!!GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE KS360!!

Really cheap price
QWERTY keyboard

GREAT photo editing function (then again so does a computer….)
Shows you the picture of the person that’s calling you
