Whoa, I was just catching up on the last 5 pages of posts and the 5800 is getting absolutely axed. One post that caught my eye was regarding whether to get an iPhone or a 5800, and people were offering their various opinions and someone said that the 5800 was just a trial device for the N97, and I think that is the defining point between Apple and Nokia. What's the point of releasing a phone that you know you yourself as a company are going to outdo?
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Nokia phones. Admittedly they make some brilliant ones and I sell a lot of them everyday. I just bought on for a friend a few minutes ago, but what gets me is they have a massively loyal fanbase, yet they continually push rubbish phones into the market for short term sales gain.
Nokia didn't get to where they are by mere fluke, they did make the best phones, yet they are throwing it away when they need to be trying their hardest.
I don't mind waiting for iPhone OS 3.0, or a new iPhone for that matter, because I am confident Apple will work at it and keep working at it until it is perfect. We are in an age where we want everything right now, and aren't willing to exercise some patience to get what we need.
The band Muse are currently recording a new album, and they are refusing to set a date to release it. They want it out this year, but they know if its not ready, then they won't release it, because they owe it to the fans to not make rubbish music for the sake of 'nowness' and I think Nokia needs to adopt that policy as well.
Lol, I guess I've gone on for a bit of a rant, and I know Nokia will probably never see this post at all, but meh, now we shall just wait and see what the N97 brings us.

Admittedly, the N97 hasn't been pushed out, and is being kept until perfect before releasing, but there seems to be an air about the whole matter that it will fail again. *Shrugs* I'm not going to make an opinion til I use one for myself.

Mm, 27 Mar 2009Ifans always sacrifice little things to buy iphone!
Fm radio is great to have! When you are... moreWell, you win some, you lose some. I don't know of any phone out there that has every possible feature imaginable. It's all about what features really matters to you. As for you, since it seems like you cannot live w/out FM radio, then the iphone is obviously not the phone phone for you. Honestly, I have other better things to do w/ my iphone than listening to FM and customizing themes and ringtones. As for its 2mp camera. It's really enough for me. I always bring my Canon camera with me, either in my car, or in my bag, but honestly, for random fun photos, the iphone's camera is good enough for me.
If you compare the iphone's home screen and the N97's widgets, the iphone has 20 apps just on its home screen. That is way more than the N97's, so I don't know how the N97's widgets can beat the iphone's. If you think that OVI is good, sorry, but it is nothing compared to the Apple App Store. Nokia Maps is not really a great map app. I know because I used to have the N95, and it was a pain to use compared to the great google maps on the iphone. W/ 3.0 OS, app developers can now develop turn by turn gps. So I really cannot prefer the N97 over the iphone. I think if you're the type who prefers a hard qwerty keyboard, loves listening to FM radio's ads, regularly BT files to every one you know, and loves customizing themes and ringtones all day, then that would justify your preference for the N97.

Anonymous, 27 Mar 2009When i go and buy an iphone 3g
i well tell him give me an "iphone OS 3.0"
or what plz help ... moreWith the operating system updates you plug your iPhone into your computer and iTunes will update it for you, the iPhone OS 3.0 update will not be released until June, Apple released the SDK (software developer kit) and a beta version for testing the other day.
The beta version puts an iPhone into field test mode (can't be undone) and may have bugs so it's not advisable to use it.

CRITIC, 27 Mar 2009Im sorry, but have to say it by my own word... I am an iHater... It's because i have tried usi... more1 thing you forgot, which iphone users enjoys...
its the speed which iphone users paid for..
nokia puts everything to their phone like high camera, high memory, vedeos, games, and many useless features, then it hangs out, slow to use, lags and restarts because after putting it all, the phone slows down. iphone is so responsive and react fast to whatever you do. i am watching a video, nor playing game, music or browsing the net, my friend calls, phone respond fast,no problem at all. i use a nokia before, when you use multitasking it slows down, even hangs and restarts. 5800 has a recall because of many faulty error in the software, thats another big example,and that gentlemen simply will not do,
not if you expect nokia will beat apple,
and not if you expect nokia to survive at all.

Nokia, 27 Mar 2009well said, i am with you! nokia is unique
Nokia has many killing applications like
1.Offi... morestantum's invention of their touchpark is built for resistive touch, and not for the multitouch. it makes the resistive respond that great. but dont be too excited, the material they use is related to that cheap resistive, and for that it has a price to pay, you only sees the good sides but definitely it has a bad side. using a cheaper material is not going for the best. stantum built it to beat the multitouch, but do you think apple does not know about stantum invention? and knowing apple, they just surprise you with something like the iphone surprises the whole mobile world. they are not like nokia who brags their phone 6 months before the release. and by the time stantum's invention is available, apple will have its own new lcd for their iphones.
you said future of the nokia is good because of the stantum's touchpark?? haha do you think touchpark is made for nokia only? all the touchscreen symbian phones will be compatible with the touchpark, sony ericsson will also be getting that.. sony ericsson symbian phones are better that nokias. definitly bad for nokia.

"Most of those applications can be installed on any Symbian phone's such as the Samsung Innov8 and Omnia HD, they also have DIVX support and better hardware.
Nokia is struggling to keep up with Apple and the other real innovators."
Paper specs is useless when the OS running it is crappy and slow. So many phone out there with greater specs then the iPhone but none was able to be the "iPhone Killer" everyone expected after its release. NONE!
Apple released 1.2 phones in 2 years (I say 1.2 because the 3G is basically the same with just a few added hardware and both runs the same software) while Nokia, SE, Samsumg, HTC, all released many many touchscreen phones all claimed to be "iPhone Killer". and what happened? Well, they're gonna release MORE phones trying to kill the iPhone...
Yes, iPhone OS did missed some "stuff" but 3.0 will add most of those in, for FREE! With others, you'll have to buy another phone just to get new "innovations."

Anonymous, 27 Mar 2009Games = Applications?
i can tell iphone users like gaming!Not all of the 27,000 Applications in the App store are games, most of the functionality of your list is covered by App store applications.
That functionality is set to explode when iPhone OS 3.0 is released.
There is also a strong likelihood of new hardware, we'll just have to wait and see.

Nokia has Carl Zeiss len which no other brand can beat. N86 len is wide angled len that can beat other 8/12Mp camera phone. its aperture is variable! WOW and then len is with a good len cover:) FM radio of course.
future for nokia is bright
Stantum Precision Multitouch on resistive screen, it is much responsive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can detect pressure!!!!!! imagine what games should be created based on this feature?
can wait to see another touch screen phone from nokia, it may be from E-series.
