Isn't Apple lucky that Motorola went through all the trouble of inventing the mobile phone, and all the other companies went through all the effort of coming up with all those things that a modern cell phone has these days. So Apple had to do very little, but claim to be innovators, more like borrowers

Anyway, if you read what I said, I never said that the iPhone is the best, only that due to its popularity, it is the phone that others are currently judged against. Some are worse, some are better, but it is still the iPhone that is the yardstick, or benchmark.

"A product sells very well. Therefore, the product is the best product."
In this instance, a product continues to be produced based on how much money can be made, which is proportional to its popularity. However, a bad product may sometimes sell well despite its poor quality.

Andy, 30 Jun 2010Hi everyone, my curiousity lies here:- why is it that there are so many nokia users on this pa... moreBecause, whether one likes it or not. iPhone is the buzzword for now, sort of the standard by which others are measured. If a phone is not so good, it's "Ah iPhone is better", if a phone is great it's "Wow this beats the iPhone hands down". So in that sense, its kind of a backhanded compliment to the iPhone.
Who knows, some time down the future, there'll be an Android or Nokia or even unknown new Phone X, and we'll have "Omg this phone is soo much better than Phone X" or "Phone X beats this hands down" instead.
One thing's for sure though, there's gonna be a lot more flame wars ahead.
"Hi everyone, my curiousity lies here:- why is it that there are so many nokia users on this page posting
negative comments about this phone? I haven't seen much of Iphone users post crap about nokia. why is there so much beef
between nokia and Iphone? these are portable communicating devices that can actually meet your needs, if you really know what
you want. there are things that nokia phone can do which an Iphone can't and vice versa. people are calling each other names like(stupid, dumb and so on...)
about stuff they don't even get anything for. no one will tell they get paid by Nokia or Apple for sticking a neck out one of these brands. In my opinion people should
be posting problems and solution about these products not cursing each other out like you are doing. I'm sure Apple and Nokia would be laughing their behinds off
if they could read some of the the things that are posted here... try to look at from this view point."

"At least Android phone's are stepping up to the mark, unlike certain other phone's from a nameless company based in Finland.
They will be releasing a toy camera phone that has already been done by another nameless phone maker based in Sweden."

xxx, 30 Jun 2010the a4 cpu is pen 2 cpu.So would you care to enlighten us as to how a processor based on an ARM 8 is like a Pentium 2 compared to an ARM 11 processor which I described as a Pentium III?
You have the Internet at your fingertips, feel free to show how the more advanced architecture of an ARM 8 is less than a slower, older ARM 11.
No wonder the N8 is so cheap, Nokia put in old junk components.
Anonymous, 30 Jun 2010Not true.
Maybe not untrue either.
But do you have any evidence to support your claims... moreAt least Android phone's are stepping up to the mark, unlike certain other phone's from a nameless company based in Finland.

Next you'll be telling us that riding a unicorn has more ease and comfort than driving a car.
aqx, 30 Jun 2010dude, stop comparing Iphone 4 & Nokia N8
both are high-end smartphones just like Sony Viv... moreThe N8 isn't high end.
Slow old ARM 11 processor, low resolution screen, barely any RAM, decrepit old OS.
It's hardly a smartphone more a feature phone, all it's got going for it is a camera a year behind the SonyEricsson Satio.
Maybe it would be ok for teenagers who can't afford a proper DSLR.
here in Romania without subscription , it's 3000 $ for the 32 GB model :))=))
A lot of people miss the point regards the iphone - it basically makes complicated things very simple, want a radio, satnav just download the app plus it is the 1 phone that hardware manufacturers support so any piece of hardware you want for it you can get - technically speaking there make be higher spec phones (albeit copies of iphone) but its the usability & support that makes iphone king!

[deleted post]Depends where you are. In UK it's £499 for 16GB model, and £599 for 32GB model, including VAT.

[deleted post]Question is too general. It depends really what you want from the phone. What works for one person may not necessarily work for you. I like my iPhone for fun casual games, and great integration with iCal, songs and videos etc with iTunes on my Mac. I like my Blackberry for one reason, Blackberry Messenger. In the end, ask yourself what you want to use it for, and the answer will become clearer to you.
"which one is better?? N8 or Iphone 4"
Nice phone, but not worth the price. Nokia N8 is less than 2x cheaper and better. Who would buy this? E-mail me at steve@me.com to tell me why you like this sick phone, and I will immediately arrange a meeting with a psychiatrist to visit your residence and check you for an unholy spirit/brain defect
