Poor guy getting so confuse.
Let me do a comparison for you.
N97 vs N900 70% of the hardware are identical except for the processor, ram and OS.
First ask yourself what is the purpose of you getting the phone den only find the phone to suit you.
N900Fast processor
Fast 3D graphic accelerator
Fast RAM
Limited Software and games are found at the moment ( Future there will be more)
running on Linux Maemo so the unlimited possibility is even possible
Support H264 video codec
Currently only support in landscape mode
No MMS support at the moment
Support Flashlite 9.4 aka u can use browser to load flash
Full Screen view
Capable to multi task
More expensive compare to N97
1320 MAH battery ( so powerful but lack of battery life)
Better Animation
Support INFRA
Comes with Bluetooth 2.1
Higher resolution 800 x 480 pixels
3G support up to HSDPA, 10Mbps; HSUPA, 2Mbps
N97Using Symbian OS so alot of games and software available to download
Slower processor
Slower ram
Lack of 3D graphic accelerator support
1500 MAH battery ( Alot of juice to last all day)
Average animation
Phone is laggier
FM Transmitter
Limited outdated codec support so always need to convert
Features Identical N900 with N973.5 inch screen
FM Transmitter
QWERTY Keyboard
Resistive touch ( Iphone running capacitive aka must use finger only)
Dual Speaker
32GB Internal Memory expandable to 48GB with SDHC memory card
Both also heavy
Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
- Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
And for your GPS question Garmin have more features and flexibility compare to other GPS softwares. And Garmin maps are the most up to date from MFM website compare to other maps due to lack of mappers.
