The e90 does have better resolution and dpi than the iphone. But still, it has a weird screen form for video viewing, and 480x320 on the iphone's 3.5 screen is nothing to scoff at either.

Anonymous, 14 Sep 2008LOL! A true Apple fanny trying to justify the missing features LMAO! ACTUALY the E90 can play ... moreWe're not justifying anything. We're just realistic enough to consider that no phone out there has everything that everybody wants. That 800 resolution that you see on the e90 represents columns, and because of the e90's unusual width, it would be more than the iphone's. But notice the second number that represents rows. The e90 only has 352, while the iphone has 480. The iphone's resolution is half VGA while your e90 is only qvga. So the iphone has the better resolution and would display videos better compared to the e90's weird screen not ideal for videos. As for web browsing, yes, it can capture more horizontally, but vertically, no. Web browsing is still better with the iphone. E90 may have the hardware keyboard, but scrolling, zooming & panning is not as effective and efficient as the iphone. The Diamond does not have multi-touch. It has touch flo. You cannot pinch to zoom in and out with the Diamond. Multi-touch is what makes the iphone so responsive and intuitive, but the downside is, it's a challenge right now to incorporate copy and paste w/out compromising the responsiveness of multi-touch. You can turn on ipod and web browse at the same time with the iphone, and have messenger working in the background as well, and also installing an application in the background. I do that all the time with my iphone. So there's your multi-tasking. If you don't have the person's number that you need to send sms to, then find it and don't let other people send your sms for you. They're your friends, not your secretary. If you want to notify 10 people all at once, you can do that as well without hassling anyone to forward sms for you. You're probably a cheap person. You send an sms then tell the recipient to forward it for you. No wonder you have that mentality, hahahaha. Cheapo =)
N91 and N81 has the best audio? Can you tell me that all N91 and N81 owners does not own ipods? Sorry, but if what you're saying is true, no one would buy ipods, everyone would just buy N91 and N81 =) And fyi, I used to have the N95 and it is not as good as the iphone in terms of mp3 functionalities and audio quality. And hello, a phone is not really for playing loud music. I think you're getting the concept of a phone in a wrong way. So your N81 has surround sound effects? LOL. Does it really sound as good as the Bose home theater surround effects? LOL. WOW, lol.
We don't need BT transfer. We have Flutter application to do that. Can your phone drag files from your pc to your phone without the use of USB?
We don't need our iphone to record videos. We have our digital cameras to do that, in better quality than any camera phones. Sorry but we won't have a camera phone do the job of a digital camera and give us so-so results.
Iphone's camera takes good pictures that look better than cameraphones with higher megapixels, because 2mp is really enough for phones.
We cannot copy and paste, but we have multi-touch that is more useful.
The iphone does multi-tasking, so you are wrong in saying that it does not.
We don't need sms forwarding because we can actually create send our own sms.
We don't need to edit documents with our iphones because we believe that those chores would be done more effectively & conveniently on a pc or mac or laptop. As you can see, we iphone users (most of us) can afford to buy laptops and digital cameras.
We don't need Java on our iphone. Gosh, makes me wonder if you own a pc at home or even just a laptop when you're on the go. I don't ever recall not having java getting in my way when I browse the web w/ my iphone.
3g signal has just been improved with the latest 2.1 update. It was already working fine for me before the update. Here in LA at least.
If you're saying that the iphone is slow, then that would make your phone very, very slow.
Iphone's gps is sufficient and fast. Better than my N95 that told us turn right on a street that we have already passed 5 seconds ago, lol. I actually only used it once when my friend drove and he didn't have a navi in his car. I don't even use my iphone's gps. My car has one =)
Iphone apps are very useful, you cannot say that they're not when you don't even own one =)
Iphone has the best mp3 player, and we don't care where they get their chips from.
Iphone already has a set of ringtones, that should be enough. We have better things to do with our iphones than going through its mp3 player looking for a ringtone, LOL. Is that what you do all day? HAHAHAHA.
The iphone is a very useful and helpful phone. It is also fashionable compared to your creaky, plasticky Nokia, although they're actually alright. Not to mention that Nokia screens easily scratches and it does not feel solid. It feels very cheap in your hands.
I guess a cheap person like you deserves a cheap, plasticky phone like Nokia =) Poor cheapo. He uses his phone as his surround sound system and uses his phone to take pictures and videos of events. How poor =)
As for me, I have my handy canon SD digital camera that takes excellent pictures and videos, then I transfer them to my iphone for my viewing pleasure and to show my friends as well. I listen to my Bose surround sound system at home when I'm in the mood for loud music (not some phone with surround sound, ewwww). As for projects, I use my PC at home or my HP Laptop when I'm on the go and get things done on 15 minutes on a chore that would take an hour on a phone, lol. I'm so blessed to afford stuff and not depend every thing on a phone like you. Ewwww, poor.

The fact that apple have left out these features could be a marketing trick - maybe its to do with keeping up their profits. think about it, the first gen iphone came out with a dozen problems with it and despite that, it sold really well but due to some of the "Problems and lackings" of the 1st phone, iphone lovers wanted more so when iphone 2 came out, with some of the problems fixed, again, it was a real big seller, now when iphone 3 comes out, apple will again include a more polished version of the phone so that people buy it again, its like the ipod - they all do the same thing but people seem to want the latest one, even though they do exactly the same! if apple released a phone with everything in it for the first time, then people wouldnt go back buying their phones over and over again and the fact that apple have now become a big player in this market due to their innovative approach to user interfacing, this allows them more scope for profits. leaving out basic things such as bluetooth werent accidently, watch, the next iphone will have bluetooth included or something else missing included and watch how many people actually buy the new version, even though they might have the first two at home, just my opinion on this.

I've heard alot of mixed opinions about the iphone but I still want it, you can say what you want about this phone but thanks to Apple all the other competitors have had to drastically step up their game, the bottom line is the iphone isnt perfect but apon its release resulted in these other cell phone makers like LG and HTC coming out with their own cloned versions of the iphone and trying to have on their generic versions the features that the iphone lacked and the fact is the overall quality of the generic versions dont equal that of the iphone, Apple still has plenty of room for improvements on this phone but I can guarantee that their working on improving this phone even more, its just like when the first generation ipod originally came out and each year it evolved more and more resulting in more features as each ipod released was better than the previous and now comparing the current ipods to the first generation would be a joke, so just like the ipod the iphone has some more evolving to do

Does iPhone supports 3rd party application...
Like Symbian OS does?
If we're going to compare iPhone's OS to Symbian's S60 3rd Edition, hmmmm... iPhone isn't that flexible.. :(
i think N81 8GB is far away better than this iPhone... :) SORRY, I'm just asking...
Lastly, does iPhone supports DEEP BASS??
I'm a MUSIC LOVER esp. BASS LOVER.
I have Ultimate Bass Test.mp3 and play it
with my N81 8GB with FULL BASS, and my SUBWOOFERS ARE IN EXTREME EXCURSION...
Please answer my questions...
Does iPHONE has an extreme sound chip to support my extreme MP3s?
NO HARD FEELINGS iPHONE FANATICS :) *cheers*

You wanna know why your precious Iphone is being ripped to shreds in the forum? ARROGANCE. Calling your phone "best" in the face of all its OBVIOUS shortcomings is really offensive. That cocky attitude about:
"having the best camera even if it's 2 MP",or
"who needs a bluetooth that really works", or
"who uses MMS anyway", or
"who forwards SMS anyway".
That's the surefire way to get your precious Iphone fanny toast. And, oh by the way, it's not that people are sourgraping because they can't afford this. They can, but they chose to buy other products, even more expensive products (read: SE, Samsung, Nokia, LG)because those truly have cutting-edge technology. Not like this dinosaur.
As poor as the poll results show: 7.4, 7.1, 7.2. Tsk tsk, this is really revolutionary. Possibly one of the lowest rating ever given to any phone. And it's all down to ARROGANCE. If Apple had just been more truthful and marketed it as an Ipod with some phone functions, then people would have been more forgiving. But calling it "the best"...LOLZ! Pathetic!

The Mac/Apple fanboys have given Apple a big ego and now the iPhone is hyped as if its the greatest breakthrough when its NOWHERE near a breakthrough. There are phones like the N81, N95, SAMSUNG OMNIA etc. . . That are far ahead.

iPhone is a professional media player, if you can distinguish between sound quality and volume level, just try earphones made by B&O (offered for iPhone)... can you find something similar for any of your N81, N82, .... N98!!!

Anonymous, 14 Sep 2008Hey, hey. No need to call people names. About your E90. Yes, it may have a 4.0 creen, but it... moreLOL! A true Apple fanny trying to justify the missing features LMAO! ACTUALY the E90 can play videos in fullscreen, so NO you're wrong. The E90 has 800x352 res SO its better than iPhone. Weird screen orientation? LMAO what an id1otic statement, the E90 is perfect for Web browsing, its screen is perfect, with a well placed HARDWARE QWERTY keyboard underneath, not some cheap useless on screen keyboard. Lol the HTC TouchDiamond has BOTH multitouch AND copy and paste so quit making stup1d exscuses.
Lol a true apple fanny lol Multitasking is IMPORTANT! Why would you be so stupid to run two games, watch a vid and send sms? Thats only an example an apple user would use because its stup1d. Multitasking is like when i run MSN Messenger, play Music, Web browse when waiting for a reply, and run Symella downloading music or any other file at the same time. Lol forwarding a text that was only made for your eyes? WTF thats the most stup1d thing ive ever heard! No dummy, there are times when you need to pass on a message if the person who sent it to you doesnt have the number of the other person they wantd to send it to as well, or when you want to notify a group of friends something and simply forward the message or send it to over 10people at once.
Sound quality? The NOKIA N91 AND N81 are at the top in terms of sound quality with POWERFULL sound acceleration hardware and noise reduction hardware. The N81 features a Sound DSP running at 235mhz and a Toshiba DAC33 Amplifier chip to double up, the N91 features a Texas Instrument DSP with the Toshiba DAC33 Amp, both these phones put the iPhone to shame at SOUND QUALITY in headphones and loudspeaker. The N81 features 3D stereo on loudspeaker to give surround sound effects. The Lab tests have been done all over the Web the iPhone cant touch the N81 at sound GET OVER IT.

I just updated my iphone to the updated 2.1 firmware. My iphone even performs better than ever. The slight lag when you open contacts has now been fixed. The UI seems to even flow smoother and faster, and is somehow more responsive. I'm just like, WOW. To think that it already had an awesome interface, Apple even found a way to make it even better. There's also a significant improvement on its 3G connection. I really never had a problem with it before, maybe because there's better 3g signal here in LA, but I notice that I get 3 to 4 bars now compared to 1 to 2 before. There's also that Genius feature under ipod. I guess that is for playlists, but anyways, I don't even think I need that. I'm loving my iphone even more. But I'm sure iphone haters would hate it even more as well, hahahahaha.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Hey, hey. No need to call people names. About your E90. Yes, it may have a 4.0 creen, but its screen's form factor is ugly, and not really ideal. And it has poor resolution compared to the iphone's half vga. Also, it does not use the whole screen when you view videos. The sides are blacked out leaving maybe only 3.0 of the 4.0 inches. And I don't think the E90 has an accelerometer. It wouldn't make sense anyway to have an accelerometer with the E90's weird screen set up. So yes, iphone's screen is still better. The iphone also has messenger applications, and more. I really don't want to be seen with your ugly E90 anyway. It's just ugly and unfashionable. That's how undesireable your E90 is. What's wrong with 3rd party approved applications? As long as it does the job. You're so bitter, lol. Yes, the iphone cannot copy and paste, but it has multi-touch feature that we would rather have than copy and paste. Can't have everything. Cannot have copy and paste and multi-touch feature at the same time. Got to make sacrifices to give way to more helpful features. If I want to send sms to multiple recipients, I can do that myself. Don't be rude and go forwarding sms that the sender intended just for your eyes only. I guess you're another victim of technology taking people's privacy for granted. And why would a reasonable person run multiple apps at the same time? Can a person play tetris and cubes at the same time, while watching a video and sending sms? Your N81 has nothing on the iphone's ipod audio quality. And if you're referring to the speaker phone, the iphone's just fine, it's not distorted. Don't confuse loud distorted sound as good quality sound, lol. No wonder Nokia phones have this creaky, lose build quality, it's speakers are too loud for its build to handle. Not to mention Nokia uses cheap plastic, ewww. And Nokia screens are also made of cheap plastic that easily scratches, ewwwwww.
