what's worst with iPhone is for being way too expensive for a phone where you can only do limited things here. you can only do here some what high-end Nokia phones do, that is if you're going to put some applications and blah blah blah..

it wouldve been reasonable for its price if at least its convenient to put applications on the phone..

i'd rather choose Nokia N95.. with its features, there's nothing more you can ask for.. or might as well have the Nokia 5800XpressMusic -- definitely the 'iPhone killer'.. more features w/ less price.^^

    The iphone is an awewsome phone except three things one being that is cant send mms or recieve unless you go on the net and not being able to set up hotmail unless you subscribe to it and last but not least the ringtones, you cant put ringtones on it!!!!

      I don't know why many people hate on the iPhone. It's a great phone.
      I like both the iPhone and Nokia N95 but I personally think the iPhone is a little bit better.

      Firstly, the iPhone has a huge touch screen which makes everything fun. It has a fast internet browser, it's a much better MP3 player, it has crazy resolution, Google Maps, screen rarely gets scratched and so many other features. One thing that can get annoying is that it's a fingerprint magnet. People also hate the camera. So? Who cares if it's only 2 MP? It still surpasses all the other 2MP phones out there. The camera looks spectacular on the big screen. Sure Apple could have improved it but it's good enough for now.

      So I don't understand why people are hating on the iPhone. I think I mostly like it cause it's a much more fun phone to use than the N95. Plus I think the N95 is badly constructed and a little fragile. But it still has great features.

            !, 17 Nov 2008I agree with nick and average user. I prefer my n95 and n93i over my iphone iphone user... moreWho says the N95 is lower?

            The iPhone is different, with different functions there is no such thing as best regarding phones.

            A Tarago is a better car than a Ferrari for a man with 5 children.

                  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 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.

                                  iPhone you press home button and on/off button at the same time.

                                    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.
