I once did a test with my n97 and the iphone by displaying the same image on both phones at the same time and for whatever reason the n97 screen changed the hue of the image and it wasn't as bright even on the highest setting ;(.
What makes you think the iPhone's display was presenting a true image versus the N97? I've made this mistake before with PC monitors. Unless you have an image that has been viewed on a professionally calibrated monitor meant for media (imaging and video heads know what I mean, even if I can't think of the proper term right now), you have no reference for how the image is supposed to look.

I found the N97's screen to be far better than the iPhone, but I prefer a cooler color pallette. Its a preference. The iPhone is warmer, but it made reds too vivid, and not natural.
