I don't understand why the mini is much more expensive than the regular N97. It's just much smaller and portable IMO.

I've tested the phone in the store, well I can give thumbs up on the GUI for being faster and much more multi-task friendly than the classic N97. It feels more solid and faster than the classic N97 again but without the camera lens.

Time is limited.

RRP is RM2250 and the RRP for Raoul Edition (1000 units only) is RM2550.

The sliding mechanism has been improved over the big brother, tad feels much more solid and stable.

Does the retail package includes the stylus pen just like the one that is in N97?

Definitely now is the good time to grab one, I've been tempting to get one. The design is like I can't help myself.

Does the keyboard light up when we use the keyboard?

I'm planning to buy this phone in mid-April, should I take this over the original N97? The only beneficial thing I see is just the 32GB and D-Pad, reviews stating that the performance of the phone is very sluggish and terrible. Any advice?

Maemo is a whole new league of mobile OS, it's way advance in any way than Symbian. You can expect desktop class applications from it. Symbian has been around for years and it's really straightforward usable and functioning.

Finally, got the white version. Was planning to get the Cherry Black but it's not available. Build quality is awesome.

Been using the Ice White model for 3 days, a touchwood piece as well. Anyone wants to change their Cherry Black with mine?

I notice that when ever calls coming in, I can't use the two touch sensitive button? Where is the settings by the way?
