at the end of the day, the touch HD does more and actually looks better.

YES, The touch HD is more attractive than the iphone!

i am sure google voice (and google earth) will be available for the n95 sometime in the future.

Aside from the nokia gps, i also have the google gps installed in my n95.

I agree with nick and average user.

I prefer my n95 and n93i over my iphone

iphone users see the n95 lower than iphone mainly because the n95 isn't a touchscreen. also, probably some of the iphone users have not yet experience the n95. so they don't know its capablities.

the n95's functionality is great. You just have to search for applications and softwares. In the meantime, the iphone's applications and softwares can be easily downloaded through apple (with or without jailbreak). That is also the difference of the two.

iLUVZtehIPOWNZ,

You mentioned that nothing comes close to the iphone UI's interaction. I disagree because the latest firmware of the n95 which is firmware version 30 (even the firmware version 20) makes the n95's internet interaction fast. symbian UI's, as well as Win Mo's, are awesome also. How do i know this? As I have mentioned several times, I have the iphone, n95, n93i, moto q9h (has Win Mo)...etc. all are fast.

Again, it is a matter or preference.

Yes N95 does every thing you want to do.

DVD video recording. it really comes handy when you have little ones.

MMS texting is amazing.

Yes it does push free hotmail for free.Who does not hotmail?

It's a great phone too not just a PDA.

No I am not that kind of person that like to turn volume up so every body in the mall hears my phone. I didn't feel my iphone vibrate and many calls were just simply dropped. What kind of phone is this that I can't rely on to deliver my phone calls?

In general once you exeed 55mm in width it's not a one hand phone for most of us.

N95 comes with languages support. you don't have to do a thing.

Their browser is faster than Safari by all means. it's a real 3g.

NOW don't get me wrong. I really think that Apple is on the way to invent something really amazing in the near future. Knowing Apple they will fix my concerns and then I will switch to Apple.

I think you really should have hands on N95 to know what I am talking about.

This phone is not a real 3G phone, it's fake named about it, it's just using the 3G network for internet connectivity, that's all!
The 3G phone is all this phones who have the front camera for making available 3G use, like 1.video, 2.voice, 3.data communication at the same time.
3G is meant for Video-voice-data telecommunication at the same time, and of course the data speed up to 3mbps!

1. No Hotmail support.

That's Microsoft's fault, you may have noticed that Hotmail only works with Microsoft email clients, upgrade your Hotmail to premium or access it via Safari."

"Why should I pay hotmail an upgrade to premium account? I want to tell you that Fuze which is a window based telephone pushes free hotmail and does Blackberry."

The Fuze is a Windows Mobile 6 device which has a Microsoft email client which supports Hotmail "push" (although in reality the device still has to check periodically and pull new emails down), this feature is one of the main distinguishing differences between Windows Mobile 5 and 6.

Blackberry clients are available for a range of phones and also require Hotmail to be upgraded.

Yahoo, Gmail and a few others offer full IMAP and POP accounts for free so they work with Blackberry, Symbian, iPhone, Windows Mobile and other phone email clients.

Well Obviously you don't read arabic since what you are seeing is only letters. they are not connected. it's like a toddler jabbering. no sense.

Yes I did know that it does not have video recording but I can not accept having no hotmail support. and obvoiussly you don't own an N95 to know that it does support free hotmail. Why should I pay hotmail an upgrade to premium account? I want to tell you that Fuze which is a window based telephone pushes free hotmail and does Blackberry.

Isn't enough ATT charges more for Iphone data plan($30 instead of $15 for N95)?

Yes I am sorry to say Iphone in so many people's mind is more for the younger generation that cares about Fasion more than functionality.

To the new user yes I did same with my iphone and also with N95 2 years ago too. But when you are not able to browse yother language web sites and read your e mails it would have beeen perfect.

Last thing I am sorry to say it's a phone that every one around. it feels like a uniform.

1. No Hotmail support.

That's Microsoft's fault, you may have noticed that Hotmail only works with Microsoft email clients, upgrade your Hotmail to premium or access it via Safari.

2. No video recording.

You bought it and you never bothered to find this out?

It's written here about 3,000 times.

3. slips easly out of my hand however nothing happened to it very solid. don't tell ATT.

Never had this issue, then again I'm careful with my things, I suggest you use plastic cups, glass one's are obviously too dangerous for you to handle.

4. could not hear it ringing in the mall or fell the vibration in my pocket and that got me in trouble with the wife and I don't want that to happen again. haha.

wtf? Vibration very strong, are you one of these annoying people who alerts everyone within 500 metres that your phone is ringing?

5. poor battery life.

Two days is nowhere near long enough to condition a battery, which software version is it running, you can check under About in General settings.

6. I felt it does not fit my age.

huh? How old are you?

7. It did not support arabic web browsing or texting.

That is a blatant lie, I am looking at Al Jazeera in Safari it's the Arabic version, however there is no Arabic support on the keyboard or phone menu's.

8. I missed my N95 so much.

How did you access your Hotmail?

The version we get in Australia has Asian languages there is no Arabic.

Don't get me wrong I really think apple is on the road to control the smart phone market however they need to take care of the above issues.

No voice calling on the Iphone ?
Google voice search coming to the iPhone really soon
Tags: iPhone, Mobile Applications
Google have taken searching to a next level and announced that they will be releasing an upgrade of their iPhone search application, which will feature voice recognition. So next time when you are out and about - don't just type in your search term, say it.
Why they did not do it with Nokia ?
