Nokia N97 outsells Nokia 5800

It was bound to happen, but we didn't think the Nokia N97 would outsell the Nokia 5800 quite as quickly as it has. However, from sales figures that have just been released, it looks like the big fight of the summer is going to be between Nokia's two touchscreen smartphones. Join us after the jump to see exactly how the Nokia N97 outsells the Nokia 5800...

OK, so which is your favourite Nokia touchscreen device? Well, it seems that Vodafone and its customers rate the Nokia N97 as the top smartphone of the moment, with the Nokia 5800 coming a close second - even with it's Exclusive Blue Colour.

The guys over at All About Symbian have posted a neat little story pointing out the Nokia N97 is the best selling handset on Vodafone at the moment, with the Nokia 5800 coming in a close second. Now, there are no official numbers and this seems to be for the last month of sales, but it's a great start to what we expect to become a regular story with the Nokia N97.

The top ten phones currently being sold by Vodafone looks something like this:

1. Nokia N97 32GB

2. Nokia 5800

3. Sony Ericsson W595

4. Sony Ericsson C510

5. Samsung Jet

6. Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition

7. Samsung Steel L810

8. Nokia 6300

9. BlackBerry Storm

10. HTC Magic

How cool is that? The top two spots and the rest of the list pretty much made up of feature phones, with other smartphones languishing lower in the rankings. This is only one network but it's a fantastic start and is a testament to the popularity of both the Nokia N97 and the staying power of the Nokia 5800.

If you're still wondering which of these devices to get then check out our Nokia N97 review, as well as our Nokia 5800 review to see how well these devices stack up against each other.

    Wouldn’t mind an N97 but when my contract is finally up at the end of the year I’m going for an N86 8MP. I’ve loved my N95 8GB(mostly!) and don’t want to bother with touchscreens, had a few and worked out that I like real buttons. I wouldn’t even mind having another N95 but fancy an upgrade. Been laughing at iPhone adverts recently- now with cut and paste and video- wow(!) I had cut n paste and video on my Nokia 6600 about 5000 years ago!
