Differences between 5800 and N97?

I have preordered a N97, but now my old N93 is literally falling apart. I need a replacement now. I either wait for the N97 to become available and use my old Nokia 6310i in the meantime, or I could order an 5800 right now (which Nokia Sweden claims is "in stock"😉.

So, what does the N97 have that the 5800 doesn't (apart from the higher price)?

- The widget UI
- Qwerty keyboard
- What else?

Also, does anyone know if the 5800 has 3D hardware like my old N93?

Definatly no 3D chip.

Smaller screen (though 3.2 is nothing bad mind).

Lesser camera - 3.2 as opposed to 5mp.

No onboard mass memory. Just the 8GB card it comes with, though obviously able to take any HCSD cards - the 16GB is currently the highest.
