If you went to USA Nokia official website, on the home page, you would see the price of N900 equals N97's price.
By taking a look at the hardware camparison, I see n900 is much better/stronger than N97 (everywhere).
Why Nokia gives them the same price? i think n900 should be higher than 97.......
it's not fair

having had both, they are two different kettle of fish entirely, however given the hardware in the n97, I would hate to be the Nokia Salesperson convincing me to buy the 3 year old 400mhz processor, 128mb ram POS when i tell him i need it to be responsive when multitasking, over the phone which has a f^&$ing gig of ram in it!
I will say that in the 4 months i had the n97, by month 3, it has started to grow on me- sure multitasking was never an option, but it has some pretty decent capabilities to it. email grabbing was quick, there were a few cool apps(the torrent client being my favourite), but when my shiny new n900 came in the mail last week, and after 5 minutes it was like the n97 had just been madeline mckain'd then ways from sunday.

A similar situation would be PC World selling you a PC with "8GB of memory", when 4GB of it is swap space. (Technically 'application memory' because your system allocates it to applications.)

Not everything is hardware. There are many features the N97 has that the N900 lacks.
