A summation of my thoughts after 2 days hands-on with the Nokia N97.
I wanted to like this phone. First, I spent a lot of money to buy it. I could have bought a new IPhone 3G S and paid AT&T's early termination fee for what the N97 costs.

I've had the unique privilege of buying 4 blue tooth headsets in the last year. Not because I wanted to experience the gamut of what the market offers, but because my wife has lost, broken or outright mangled every headset I have given her. We started out a few years back, with a cheap 20-40 dollar Motorola that came with the purchase of every phone. The phone worked great, and the headset was worth what we paid. What it did do extremely well though, was to open my wife's imagination to the potential of hands free talking to people. After a week of not having to burn the side of her face off from exposure to an over worked cell phone battery, we were ready to push the limits of bluetooth.
