Nokia N97 mini VS Nokia 5800 xm

At first look the little brother n97 mini looks about the same as the
first all touch from Nokia. After a second look however, we see that
Nokia did try not to duplicate too many things. Yes the screens are
the same dimensions but, the mini’s screen is way more sensitive. Is
that software or hardware?

The Nokia 5800 is all plastic, everywhere. The n97mini has a metal
battery cover and brushed metal trim all around. Funny enough it’s
thinner but heavier with it’s slide out keyboard. Most of my mobile
gurus loved it’s firm feel and the way it slides/flips up on an angle.

The menus are the same but the home screen are vastly different. I
don’t get why the 5800 xpress music doesn’t do more with the album
art. At least the mini gives you a thumbnail on the homescreen. Having
facebook on the homescreen is handy but having twitter by default
would be killer. The Lil’ n97 has way more space for music too…
Weird.

Overall the N97 mini has the 5800 beat when it comes to storage, feel
and function but I think it would be a tie if a software update came
out for the 5800’s homescreen. Have anymore questions about these
devices?
