They're not necessarily direct competitors, Bob - why have you narrowed down to these two?

The mini has a QWERTY keyboard which may help if you are a heavy texter, emailer or, indeed, poster to the EDF.

It will also be a better telephone than the iPhone, which you will appreciate if you make loads of voice calls. And the camera's fantastic - better then the iPhone's.

But its touch screen and UI is rated pretty poorly - meaning if you are a big user of things like music and other apps you may find it frustrating.

The iPhone is... the iPhone. Very good at making web stuff, pictures, music, all that, very simple and easy to use. Poorish at being an actual phone (some say) and some also struggle with the keypad/ text option.

This whole mobile phone thing has become an absolute minefield hasn't it!

I've just this morning ordered the new Sony Ericsson Satio, as it has a 12 megapix camera. Hoping it won't be a let down.

Damn! That's what I want Keef.

I've got the handset for free with t-mobile, on an 18 month contract. 800 minutes, unlimited texts and web access for ?36 a month. Not a cheap deal, but for the amount I use my phone, it's good for me.

I'll let you know how I get on with it.

I chose the Nokia 97 mini for the apps and wanted some of the same on the I phone but as others have said the whole thing is a mine field thats why I asked for some help, any advice is welcome.

You want apps but not iphone... have a look at Android Phones eg HTC Hero, excellent. N97 Mini isn't great by most accounts.
