it seems u're HTC fans huh? must be excited with your current phone. 

I thought TyTN II slider is like the nokia N97 sliding mechanism?

TyTN II is a two action mechanism. You slide and then have the option to tilt it whatever angle you want but up to 45 Deg (approx.). With the N97, have no choice. Once you slide, it'll go up automatically.

Actually its not really complicated to have that tilt feature. It was probably patented though. Thats why Xperia X1 had one angle in an arc while the N97 has auto-tilt bracket. But its great to have the choice of tilting up and down. Not sure about reliability though. But I think N97 is more vulnerable. Just look at the bracket that tilts it. One drop, one of those plastic pieces might come off.

hmmmm does zitron guarantee against damage caused by accidental drops?
cuz it's best to buy the original if u're gonna invest in sumthing this effin expensive...

haha good solution! i love it.

i am sure a 8megapixel means a bigger sensor, bigger sensor means bigger phone. bigger phone with qwerty means THE BIGGEST PHONE. I think it's just getting silly with all these MP race among phone makers. 5MP is good enough, heck even 3.2 MP is good enough for a compact cam.

Omnia is 8MP? Not 5MP? The bigger the sensor, the better. Anyway, there are pros and cons between CCD and CMOS. CMOS tends to be less noisy at higher ISO range. Or am i mistaken?

that's so true. Another thing to note is that do we even need that much pixels? I mean, even with my DSC-T200 (8MPix), i find it excessively large and it takes up my hard drive space pretty fast. I'm pretty happy with 5mpix.

HAHAHA.. when you said resigned to buy. I thought you gave up buying already. Anyway, I do secretly wish for something that would able to snap indoor photo properly. Forget about the megapixel count, a proper flash might be something more hopeful in this high end gadget. I find that many times when I wished to take out my phone to snap some pictures, I gave up the intention after remembering the crappiness of it's indoor quality.

haih... so long the wait. might as well buy the Tube huh?

i do think tube shouldn't be placed into the 4 digits series.. 

without a mechanical keypad or keyboard. Tube doesn't deserve the N-series name tag.

anybody know where to find comparison table between n95 and n97? afaik n97 dont have infrared.

y infrared so important? u can bt or wifi it right?

oh yes yes very kuno wan.. ahahaha.. tq for da link booooster... im using infra red for remote control my tv in my bedroom. very lazy wan to bangun2, sometimes pakai kaki to switch chanel.

ok another wan. what is the most u like about this coming n97. for me its touch screen, NSeries and its look stylo milo..

another thing, do you guys know abt the processor. n95 hav - Dual ARM 11 332 MHz CPU - 3D Graphics HW Accelerator.. is n97 hav the same or better?
