Sorry, but you are not making any sense. No matter how you rotate the screen, it will still have the same area, same number of pixels, so the amount of text will be the same.

Really! Wow. If you'd combine this with the magic insight that the N97 is very much like the N900 maybe we should all simply buy a Nokia 5800 right now!
In fact, I would suggest just that. Unless you really want real keyboard or Linux, go for 5800 now.

Fortunately, one of the nice areas Nokia N900 shines is that it has a OMAP3; much more powerful than either a Nokia 5800 or Nokia N97.
A gadget is only as powerful as its applications are. So, I would not get particularly ecstatic over that OMAP3. Not until you see how it is used.

There are many more differences no matter what marketing guru naysayers would want to make you think.
Thanks for helpful Wikipedia links, but in reality it is just this simple: both phones have roughly the same hardware, same screens, and same software. The only differences are the keyboard, the fake silvery coating (vs plain black plastic), and the price.
