with the app store rapidly adding applications all the shortcommings will be met.tom tom is soon to release an app for navigation.the options are endless.you basically have all your interests at the end of your hand.you can make a very personalised phone.

    excellent phone.it suits my needs perfectly.the iphone has set a new standard.this is what all phones will become soon.i guess iphone will increasingly take a bigger chunk of the market.its a phone for the massess.i guess iphone will take over the mobile market the way microsoft overtook the computer market.with clever marketing and lowering of price iphone will force all other phone makers out of business.i'm sure the big 5 nokia,samsung,SE,motorola and blackberry will be highly worried.an excellent phone.basically an apple computer in your palm which takes calls.

          lol great response sue.

          im from the UK and i think america is an amazing country and i love it so take that back mr anonymous below me!

          charles darwin has got to be the most dull man alive, but if he was alive he would have bought the n95.

          me and darwin are alike in that sense, we both have N95's

              just ordered my 3g iphone 2 days ago and waiting for it to get to my door...

              I have no idea why people are still COMPARING iphone to N95...it's 2 different things totally...

              one has touch screen and one doesn't...
              one has 5mp camera and one doesn't...
              one has 3.5" screen and one doesn't...
              one has.......blah blah blah
              they have their own advantages and disadvantages so there is no need to hate them...

              for me i have a HTC P3600 and i'm totally happy with it...it got everything i needed and i'm fine with it and why i still order a iphone 3g???

              bcoz...for $199 i can have a piece of technology and i don't see why not...

              N95? nah...dun wanna pay the fk $500 for that...

              and u guy see the differences...PERIOD

                Wow!

                I was just about to get this phone, but some friends have bought it and are little disappointed and I can understand why!

                Images can't be attached to an email while typing the message, the only way to do this is by selecting the option in the photo gallery, and most settings for the individual applications are only located in General Settings, so you have to exit an application to change one of it’s settings, then re-enter the application to continue???

                Aggrhhhh!

                  Definitely not a business phone, no full, physical QWERTY keyboard is a big disadvantage. Bet Mac bring one out next year that has that. I heard you can only use Bluetooth to connect to a hands-free headset, so no A2DP stereo Bluetooth, file transfers or internet sharing???? WTF…….

                  And the term 3G becomes part of the iPhone's product title?????? How long ago did 3G come out – I can’t even remember!!!!!

                    I’m don’t get the fuss? Again!

                    - No navigation software, only Google Maps.
                    - Dismal camera features
                    - Disappointing battery life
                    - Counter-intuitive menus and settings

                    I thought the 2nd gen iPhone would be way better than that 1st brick. Seems like Apple are playing catch up! But they’re marketing is brilliant, and they know exactly how to keep bleeding money out of you.

                      the iPhone gives you more control on the view and makes browsing much faster. Being able to enlarge and decrease the screen with such ease is great! having control over the key board is also very useful. Changing to landscape as I am typing is helpful. The camera is not the best but is good enough for everyday use. The large screen makes movie and video watchaing awsome!! tapping and double taping to use the map is helpful when driving. This phone needs shortcut buttons and a dedicated camera button.

                        this is a very hightech phone with lowtech features.... it is a good music phone. not an all around phone. if ever they upgraded the camera, put in vide, 3g calling, mms, evrything coz' why are you going to sell something new without upgrading the most important features????

                        if i looked at it its like my money is used at a useless thing. IMHO

                            if your gonna get the iphone 3g, ur dumb. the reason is because the htc touch pro is amazingly better. it has accelerometer just like the iphone. It has the same stuff, and its beter. has a video camera, has auto focus and a 3.2 camera. it has amazingly better features.

                              Over hyped phone for what it actually is

                              got an iphone 3g as a birthday present, it's definantly the worst present i've ever had, a pair of socks would have been better than the iphone. In this day and age you would expect apple to actually put a better camera, mms and amongst other basic handset features into the iphone.

                              For the people keep comparing iphone to nokia, we all know which company and brand is the global market share leader by far......of course it can only be nokia

                              the iphone did impact the market, but this is just a consumer phase, just like camera phones were, people will soon get bored and go back to the brand they were using.

                                  MAYANEGYPTIAN, 15 Jul 2008Poor camera (2mp)with no flash, No video recording, No office applications (Edit word, exc... morei am a proud owner of N95, got it probably two weeks after it hit the shelves, and am very pleased with it. I also have a BB curve 8310, and I am double pleased with it, as far as typing and mail management is concerned... i intend to keep both phones...

                                  BUT..

                                  I also intend to buy iphone 3g all the same.

                                  All small talk below attacking or praising iphone is so stupid and even tiresome. Why compare it to other phones? Why so much energy is put in explainin iphone is not matching N95, or SE whatever number, or HTC Diamond, or Omina...?

                                  As a BB and N95 owner, and a satisfied by both phones one, I immediately admit that I am aware that both phones are probably far better in operation than iphone. Still, I am buying iphone as it is DIFFERENT... in away which is truely APPEALING compared to other phones... no less, no more...

                                  all i can say about apple is that in an environement where everything changes so FAST (image what phones were considered top-notch a couple of years ago), and people get so BORED with anything quite soon, providing something so DIFFERENT is a key to market success.

                                  and all you (we) Nokia, HTC, SE, Samsung, etc, fans, should be quite thankful to apple, as their iphone put so much heat on other producers, that i expect we will see the best still coming...

                                      "apple iphone is the only phone that makes nokia users bitter and say so many nasty words full of bitterness against this marvelous device."

                                      yes, i notice the same. everywhere i go the most prominent anti-iPhone people are bitter Nokia users. are they upset because iPhone brought certain features and technological aspects to the forefront in ways Nokia has failed (like the App Store)?

                                      i've never seen the Nokia people so disgruntled.

                                        Poor camera (2mp)with no flash,
                                        No video recording,
                                        No office applications (Edit word, excel, ppt)
                                        You can not share anythig through Bluetooth

                                        It's sad how people only buy what tv and market tells them to buy... and never make a complete analysis of a device.

                                        Im a proud user of The N95 8gb, the best all-in-one device. :)
