N97 coverage?

I am borrowing a Nokia N97 (thanks to a friend who isn't migrating to it just yet) and have had my share of "this is awesome" and "Wow this sucks" moments with it in just a couple days. With the N810 getting a little "old" in the long view and with no sight of a Maemo 5 device yet, would tabletblog.com readers be interested in some coverage here?

What I CAN say about the N97 so far - If I can work out a few little bugs and still see no sight of a Fremantle Maemo tablet, I'm going to buy myself one. A white one. I miss a couple little applications of the iPhone (like Yelp and my bank's portal) but the added features of the N97 are worth those losses.

I'd love to see some comparitive reviews between iPhone and N97. I left the iPhone platform months ago because of all the things it could not do (a2dp, voice dial, bluetooth, etc). But now the new iphone OS appears to have all my gripes fixed and I once again hear the siren call of an intuitive user interface, well integrated multimedia, and multi-touch.

Iphone 3.0 does have stereo bluetooth:

But not the AVRCP profile for some reason.

+1 for N97 coverage.

Especially since the next maemo device will be quite similiar to the N97.

Someone compared the latest round of N900 leaked specs to being an awful lot like the N97 (especially the keyboard layout). So, what I'd want to know about the N97 is: what do you think of JUST the hardware? is the keyboard more comfortable than the N810's? is the screen comfortable? If it ran Maemo, would you be like it, or always be upset that it wasn't more like an N810.
