According to the articles i have read, the n95 beat the iphone. sure the iphone may have a touchscreen, but it is not an all-around device.
as far as samsung innov8 go, it does not amuse me. Again, I prefer the slide qwerty keypad.

Untill now I still dont understand you people out there why thinking gsm as a camera. If you want a camera why not use a real camera it does better than gsm cam. GSM is a phone not a f*cking camera.

Too bad your camera is not as good as the Samsung i8510 innovate, which as it uses Symbian, works exactly the same as your obsolete phone, it must be disappointing for you to not have the best camera anymore, although my N82 which my son is using does have a Xenon flash so the N95 hasn't really been up to par for a while now.
I suggest you replace the browser on your N95 with Opera Mini even though compared to an iPhone the browsing is still painful, are those little dots on the screen supposed to be a mouse pointer?
The way it slowly jerks around the screen... urgh!
Maybe Firefox will improve things.
So why don't you upload a 5 Megapixel photo to Facebook from your phone and see what size it ends up.
Don't forget to exit the browser when you've finished, you wouldn't want to run up data charges with it running in the background.
Anyway I've got some free calls to make using Fring on my iPhone.
Having MacOSX, which is based on UNIX as an operating system has really led to some excellent applications coming out.
I tried a java version of Spore on the N82 vs the iPhone version it was hopeless.

It is an all around phone to take for a vacation at the conveniency to carry a one device.... n95 is a camera, video camera, internet...all-in-one device.
I prefer a device just like the n95. Other all-in-one phones such as HTC touch pro, Sony Xperia, omnia...etc...are my in my consideration.
If the next iphone comes out with a powerful flash for the camera, I just might consider it again.

I purchased the iphone one week ago, and it is awesome! A lot of positives:
1) The touchscreen is so easy to use, it is well designed. You will be amazed at how much you enjoy the touchscreen. I previously owned a Blackberry, which was four times as complex to use, and not as good.
2) It is stylish, everyone who sees it will want to play with it. Looks very good. Go to Amazon.com and buy a leather case and accessories.
3) It is a great size. It feels good in your hand while you are talking. It is good for making/receiving calls. It is slim and fits in your pocket easily, not too bulky.
4) Call quality is outstanding. Volume easy to adjust. Excellent speaker phone.
5) Email very easy to access. Blackberry is known for it's email system, yet iphone is much better for email and texting.
6) Best feature of all-the 3.5 inch screen, which is very bright. I considered buying the Nokia N95, and while I am sure it is a great phone, it only has a 2.8 inch screen. This may not seem like much of a difference, but the larger screen makes a BIG difference when surfing the net or reading email.
7) Internet safari system very easy to use. You get full web pages, not the condensed ones you see on a lot of phones. Almost as fast as my cable modem on my home PC. I don't care what anyone says, Iphone internet is much better than Nokia N95.
8) GPS system good and so easy to use. You can even get a satelite picture.
9) Battery life has ben very good. I have always charged my phone every night anyway, so I don't see a problem. I am not sure I need to charge my phone every night, but I do anyway.
Camera adequate, although not great. An AT&T manager told me you can purchase software for videotaping. I purchased the iphone to use as a phone, not as a camera. I have a Canon 8mp camera, and a Sony videocamera. I recently went on vacation, and even if I did own a Nokia N95 or a Sony K800i, I would not have used them for pictures/videotaping. You want to know why? Because my Cannon camera and Sony videocamera are much better!
If I walked around all day with the urge to take pictures of evrything I saw and email it to people, I would have purchased the Nokia N95. But, it is more important to me to use the phone for web surfing and to check email.
There are so many features on this phone I have yet to explore, such as the games, itunes, and application store. I cannot wait!
Bottom line-you will not be disappointed if you purchase this phone.

if your phone doesn't have a 320x480 16M colour touchscreen it is rubbish.
What m... moreExcuse me! Symbian OS capabilities are high also.
You are lucky that there were bright lights at the party to take photos. Otherwise, the iphone's camera is useless.
Iphone is more of toy because it is targeted towards children, teens, and young adults.
Who cares about touchscreen! I prefer the slide qwerty keyboard.
Blackberry storm..no wifi..not good. Samsung innov...the color display looks like from the 80'S.
Watch out iphone....DELL is coming out with a phone!! I heard that the screen is bigger, more features, etc....Hopefully the DELL cel phone has a great camera with a flash included and has slide qwerty keyboard included.

What makes a good phone is a subjective issue, depending on how you use it.
I've had phones that had video and bluetooth file sharing and all that stuff, it's a toy for kid's I used a couple of times.
Who wants to waste time by letting people leech files via bluetooth.
Have you ever seen what Caribe or Cabir can do to a Symbian phone?
There is zero chance with an iPhone.
If I ever get a sudden desire to do these things I can just put my SIM in one of my old phone's.
Maybe I'll get a Samsung i8510 Innovate next, after all they are the current best phone, there is nothing really close to it.
The Blackberry Storm's looking pretty good too.
Mr j9@V,
there was plenty of light at the party I attended, it was a housewarming and the photo's turned out sharp and clear.
Like I said, when you upload to Facebook file sizes are shrunk, the camera's megapixel's make no difference it's just like when you send an MMS, the resolution is made smaller.
