try to lock your screen if u don use it,, or u don know how to do it??... moreMate, are you serious? I've worked for every single phone carrier in Australia. Optus, Virgin, Telstra.
I know what I'm talking about when it comes to phones. I was one of only a few to own a 2G iPhone when they were first released overseas, as they weren't available here.
My 3G iPhone is working fine now, but I am now without my photos, music and my apps. And before you even think it, it didn't let me back up anything on my computer, nor let me restore my old backups onto my iPhone.
So there's MY OPINION, you don't have to like it.
iPhone's in MY OPINION, are not my cuppa tea. I don't like em. But to each their own I guess.

I use the net a lot and the N82 was nowhere near as good for this purpose, tiny little screen, little lines of text, that stupid little thing that's supposed to be a mouse and no qwerty keyboard, there is no comparison with Safari, even when you install Opera Mini.
The games are nowhere near the quality of iPhone games, check the Java version of spore or Ngage version of Asphalt there is no comparison.
I use headphones to listen to music, I feel no need to annoy people around me with my music, at home and in my car I use docks and listen through quality speakers.
I use my camera mainly to upload to Facebook, which from the Facebook App is seamless and a simple process, Facebook resizes the pictures anyway so 2MP is more than enough.
I also transfer files over wireless, B-base discover on my home network and Orb-live over ANY network (the server software running on my PC let's me access any file I want).
It's not an ego thing it's more to do with choosing the best tool to suit your needs, for me that's iPhone.

Our worst at the moment is the N96, almost half of them come back,

Dont assume that majority of the anti-iphone crowd have not used the iphone. I for one have one. IT IS A JUST A DECENT PHONE, not amazing or great. i also have the n95 and n93i. I prefer the n95.
Apple also tend to be used by certain group of people with big egos.
Some people prefer the n95 or n82 because it is an all around device.
the hype and worship of the iphone is ridiculous.
peace.

Although I don't like iPhones, I do have an actual reason. I work in a phone shop in Australia, and I have had more iPhones returned to me than any other phone. A 25% rate, compared to a 5% of Motorola.
My housemate has one as well, and I use it quite regurlarly only because it has decent apps and games.
But again it's only one mans opinion.

gor those who humiliate iphone and its feature, well, youve got to shut ur stuff -off together with your nokia because iphone works more intelligently with sophistication. of course all phones had its flaws but iphone itself is amazing compared to "all other" phones. the phone we used is based on what we need and iphone suits all newly,modern and latest tech that 1 must have on the palm of is hand..... iphone is fitted for new generation people... not unless u suck with nokia a use friendly but ouch it has no brain!iphone whe compared to human is "beauty with brain"!!!!!

Nokia's tend to be used by a certain group of people. LoL I won't go into detail!
Unless you have REALLY used the device (using it for a wekk does not count, so if you used it for a day, tough luck) your opinion is worthless.

abc123def456ghi789, 22 Nov 2008why is everyone so obsessed with this phone??? whats so good about it??? its rubbish compared ... moreIf the camera is so important why would you waste your money on an N95 when there are 8 megapixel phones, if you're going to whine about camera's stop recommending second rate rubbish.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970iphone...decent camera yes. however..without a built-in powerful led/xenon flash, auto-focus, digital/optical zoom, the iphone's camera is not up to par with the n95, n96, innov8, omnia and other smart/pda phones that has great cameras.

Anonymous, 22 Nov 2008Try to upgrade your Nokia N95 :
Iphone 2.2 update :
What’s in this update:
Enhancements... morethe n95 can do upgrades to make it better and faster. the latest firmwave is version 30. the n95 can also download itunes, which is awesome.
the difference between the iphone and n95 in regards to softwares and applications is a search for softwares/applications for the n95 needs has to be done, while iphone's softwares/application can be easily downloaded from apple.
built-in features and capabilities the n95 is better than the iphone. quick response/connection and easy downlable softwares/applications goes to the iphone. again, i have both the iphone and the n95 (and other pda/smart phones).
again the iphone is more of a media device, while the n95 is an all-around.
once again, it is a matter of a preference.

I rarely take my laptop with me since I've had my iphone. I've had several high end phones in the past but I have to admit that this phone has the best browser even w/out flash support.

This phone just works. The Apps, the UI, the stable OS, the thought put into the creation of the device.
It may have it's downsides, but you have to appreciate it for what it is.
If you try to do a NOKIA with this device, well, you're really gonna hate it. I can even say that the last few posts hating on this device aren't really helping the discussions, and are trolling to be honest.
The MMS issue really is a downfall, but to me personally, MMS is a technology that needs to be boycotted. Everyone should have EMAIL working on their devices, NOT MMS. But we have happy people who swear by MMS, in that case, go for a C902 or something, they're the fastest in sending/receiving MMS.
This isn't the perfect device, but it certainly performs on a totally different level.
This is coming from a longtime Symbian and BlackBerry user, so I do know what I am talking about.
