It's cool, it's fast, it's awesome.
The cameras give decent imaging, and app switching is smooth. Get wifi and you're set.
It runs well on 3g too; although a bit expensive unless you have an unlimited plan. Apps that use gps run awesome. Not to mention touch screen games, and those based on tilting your phone.
Because of its built in ipod it beats nokia phones easily: or at least those that promote music. Unless nokia gets bundled with something else, e.g. free music, I don't think I'd get it. And I did not.
The touch screen is smooth, unlike others. Previously I was a nokia user, totally refuse to change to other phone makers as nokia was reliable not to mention durable and have nice designs. Until of course nokia began to lag with its newer phones, and crash whenever the phone is pushed to certain limits. It began to become expensive, and with that amount of money, rather than risking it on nokia I went for the iphone, and I'm not regretting it yet.
Spend a few bucks on a bumper and your signal woes are over.
I applaud nokia's acts thus far; but if you have the money to invest, and the time to learn it; then the iphone is for you.
however, if you dont have time to fully learn the apps and such, then I think you shouldn't bother with this. buy a simpler phone, rather than going for these so called "smartphones". blackberries look nice.
oh, yeah. the iphone acts as a nice replacement for the pc when you dont wanna get out of bed in the morning, but still need to check your mail and read the headlines.

Sonia, 09 Nov 2010Thank you Engineer man for your co-operation & support you sound very helpfull person :) a... moreTo be honest Sonia you are asking the wrong people for advise this engineer man hates the Iphone so much that he actually fails to see the pro's of owning one. It is true the N8 is a good piece of kit, it has an amazing Camera, USB on the go which comes in handy, bluetooth 3.0 though you won't get the full benefit of this until the rest of the gadget makers catch up. But that's where the positives end. In my opinion it doesn't look as nice as people say it does, The operating System "Symbian" lets the phone down badly. A few Iphone4 users suffered signal loss, but a whole lot more never did and it was determined that weak network signal was to blame. Now unless you live in very advanced country, we all suffer signal. I can't use my phone when am in the house and am in the UK.
N8 on the other hand you need to be a bit of a techie type to get the full benefit of using it coz just like N96/N97 it crashes a lot, it needs to be reset a lot and that involves soft rests and hard resets. Hard reset means resetting back to factory settings and you have to start all over again reinstalling all your contacts, settings, pictures, apps etc. It is hard work owning a Nokia these days.
Industry experts are recognising that a new category has emerged "Internet Phone" and I feel this is exactly what the Iphone, Android, are, Nokia phones are simply smartphone that don't even do the job right.
Updates and hot fixes take forever to come with Nokia and if you go to youtube and watch what people are experiencing you will notice that it needs some kind of update a.s.a.p but whether it comes soon only Nokia knows.
Personally between the two I'd go for the Iphone 4. Currently used the HTC Desire, which I will be upgrading in the New Year and defiantly not touching Nokia phones
Go to Nokia discussions and Apple support to get the full scope

Sony Ericsson have suffered major loses for choosing Symbian Os in the end they've decided to dump it. Samsung have dumped symbian too limiting damages and both have to decided to concentrate on Android, Bada and what ever else they do.
If symbian is such a great OS why is it getting dumped by the two major players out with Nokia?
Inevitably things got so bad that Nokia have decided to take back control of Symbian.
Quote "Nokia has taken back control of the Symbian operating system, 18 months after it set up a non-profit foundation to oversee its development.
Nokia will control the future direction of the the world's most popular smartphone software from April 2011.
Analysts said the move was inevitable as firms abandoned Symbian for rival software such as Google's Android." end quote "BBC"
So there you have it Nokia and Symbian FANBOYS that is the state of affairs.

1st wifi,it best if you able to find a stable wifi else good luck to you.
2nd,camera i seldom use the back i always use secondary is so useful.
3rd,applications.
things to dl are -
whatsapps - able to msg like msn and send picture
flashlight - you able to get flashlight application
facebook - you know what is it huh
bus guides - check bus timing n where it will leads to
alarm clock - wakes u up in the morning
iphone 4 casing - those dun hv free bummber,dl that if u hv one month of it using..within a month go and get tat application and dl it and fill up the details in it etc,2 weeks later you get free bummber :)
radio - able to dl the stations :)
for SG is "me radio" and "radio 91.3"
skype/pingchat - know what is it right but need use wifi..
games - tap revenge 3/n.y.z(new york zombies)/etc...alot more if you hv the money.. :)
songs - is the same as iphone 3gs
design of course is better.
if you want to have better internet usage use wifi.
if you at home use wifi,outside if lucky use wifi.
else you can go sleep come back still nt finish,slow thats why.
As for casing there:
hard case back area only - scratch yr iphone side part
rubber case - absorbed the vibration
front and back - double protection
Overall if you know how to take care of your phone everything is fine.But do not hold it while you sleep,confirm drop you cry... :P

Look at this way.
The differnce between S^3 & IOS is very simple.
In the IOS building imagine a long corridor full or rooms which look the same with not much going on & some boring people.
In the Nokia bulding imagine a long corridor full or rooms which look difference. In comparison their are many beatiful girls & partying going on wth lots of fun.
This is the difference between having a good time with Nokia or Apple.

Sorry I forget to mention it depend on how you need to hold your phone with & without bumper cases & whether you want some versaility if it drops more than trice time. Also whether you want your phone to automatically drop calls due to crazy erratic iphone behavior LOL ok. Also your phone if an iphone might also drop calls without the antenna issue, this time it's a sensor that thinks your ear is not actually hugging your phone & call drops btw, this is not antennagate issue but close :)
Also do you want the ability to bluetooth files across to other bluetooth computers or phones, such as PIM information, or other data. Do you want Videocalling to work on 3G as well as WIFI. If you do, then please don't buy iphone, it's no good for you.
Also do you want to be able to have individual ringtones in which the OS doesn't care which one you use whether mp3, wma, wav, aac, etc...
Also would you like an FM Radio on your phone , then please don't go for Iphone4, it won't have it tbh.
Thanks Sonia & pls we Nokia guys welcom your questions, by all mans pop over to hte nokia forums & we'd be delighted to help you.
Alternatively if you must require it here in another DOMAIN, then we would still be delighted to allow you to know of a phone which will do all those things & more.

Hello Sonia,
I see there aren't many helpful Iphone 4 users here willing to help you yet. So I may aswell advertise & help Sonia. Nokia guys are nicer so.. ¬
It depends on what you want to do with your phone really! Please tell us what you would like to do with your phone, your uses with it, then we can give you a general assumption of what both brands & platforms can offer you.
Thanks.
