Hi all .. I'm here to explain to you what a SmartPhone is incase u forgot :)
Smart:(SMART is secondary because a phone should act as a phone to start with)
1.Multitasking (real multitasking), GPS, Camera, Office word, excel, powerpoint (Reader or editing) etc..
2.Internet browsing, email, etc..
3.Youtube, facebook, twitter etc..
PHONE = COMMUNICATION which means:
1. Phone calls
2. Video calls (not just through wifi and both devices should be identical, it kills the whole purpose) e.g.: lemme sit at home and video call my cuzn while he is at home, unless u have so much time and just figured to waste ur time)
3.SMS
4.MMS
5.Bluetooth (Sharing with other smartphones is a part of communication, not just which to devices of the same brand)
6. Infrared (which is dieing slowly but still used in some devices, which is considred under communication) NOTE: Making all communication types in a phone is good because u can share with any device old or new.
7.Wifi
8.Battery life (battery life is under Phone because as long as u have battery u can communicate)
9. USB (Micro, or any.. As its considered a good idea for charging ur fone on any different fone charger other than ur brand)
A smart phone these days have been forgoten for multimedia which doesn't serve in functionality, if a smart phone is not so smart and can't communicate what's the use of it ?! If a smartphone can't serve me and just would let me play with its touchscreen and download games and apps for it then what's the use of it ? U want apps ? Get Ipod touch, u want games get a nintendo DS..
A huge company like Apple had nothing at all, they got consumers by a brilliant marketing strategy which affected lots of people, their marketing strategy is good because they have no functionality so they just did something that looked good and felt good and to a viewer is just nice to see but has no functionality what so ever, and that marketing strategy includes:
Making a big deal out of nothing, and making their brand look the best:
1. Steve jobs kept on saying its the most beautiful and precise thing out there several times and saying isn't that cool ?? (which shows the way he wants u to think abt the product and make u think that its the best, to get excited and go buy it.
2. We have video call (only on wifi) isn't that amazing ?? We had dreams abt it since the Jetsons..(See that's making a big deal out of somthing while its already out there for years)..
3.These r examples of what he said, and go to the apples website, ull see a banner saying the "This changes everything. Again" What did change ? Phone calling ? Touchscreens ? Everything was out there they just polished it to look good for the poor consumers who look at good stuff. Its like seeing a fresh juicy orange which has nothin inside, it's a all looks that's what fools people. There are lots of stuff but I'm just tired of typing.
4. Apple products for example, they brag about having no viruses in their systems which really attracts consumers, well u have nothin compatible to start with to get some viruses and it all feels empty, just good looks and no functions again.
This sums it up for me, a little about me.. I have used every smartphone out there (including iphones) now using a nexus one and blackberry bold 9700 .. I'm not happy till now cause functionality is missing for me, I'm waiting for the N8 which I guess ill settle with, Nokia has served me well through the years and they still do, I'm not a Nokia fan no I have used everything out there,(mostly top tier phones) u name it and ill say yes but out of all phones Nokia (Mostly used coomunicater till the E90) does serve in all SMARTPHONE meanings.
This is not bashing or critisim, this is an advice from a fellow smartphone user, I don't hate apple I approve their fine OS and multi touch features but I said, looks are one thing for the eyes to see not to produce nor funtion.

Oh ya I forgot somthing, to prove apples Weasel marketing strategty, all of u remember the iphone 4 leaking all aorund the world ? A company as big as Apple would let that happen u think :) ?
It is intended and the whole story is intended, so stupid how some people believed that.
Ull ask me why they did it ? Simple, to get people's opinions and know I'd they need to change the shape and looks of it. Why ? Because they want it to look at its best. Why ? Because that's wat they did in everything, just good old looks which serve no purpose :)
Tricky people will always trick u, ull live an empty dream, which wen the time comes and u need somthing ull wake up and say oh that's missing, oh that's not there, oh I can't run this, oh I can't charge my phone I have no micro USB while all devices have it :)

APPLE Executives sure now how to ACT, the way they create their video about their product (iphone 4, ipad etc). Its like watching a well scripted movie. These top excutives (Actors), should also try in HOLLYWOOD LoL.
They will talk as if Only they can create somthing LOL.
People beware, dont let these apple executives fool You.

"Bluetooth Yes, v2.1 with A2DP"

This phone's price tag sucks out of America. And for what? A 5MP camera, and a bluetooth that doesn't even work outside iPhones??? Don't get me started on "facetime"... sucks as heck that it can't use it anywhere else but in a Wi-Fi spot, oh wait yea the glorified americans have wi-fi everywhere!
It's such a fashion phone. Non-functional at all.

The iphone 4 - an average phone with a head spinning price tag. The only reason why people by iphones is because people buy i phones. They just want to blend in. Everybody has one. Enough with the crowd mentality. This thing is a piece of crap.

Apple, just like nokia, is entitled to make business decisions. Apple only wants to produce one phone. Some business decisions make sense, some don't. I understand what you are trying to say about nokia catering to all classes of users. But their decision to adopt several platforms is obviously not working well for them. Apple, Google and RIM only have one OS platform, and they're all doing really well. Apple only markets to the high end users, while android and bb's platforms caters to all categories as well.
And it is not about me being confused, because I'm not. But you see the majority of consumers are not like us who visit tech sites on a daily basis and learn what's new in the mobile phone world. Those are the consumers that will more than likely get confused with nokia's approach. Which has been manifested in the decline of nokia's market and capital shares.
Your comment seems fine to me. It's honest and does not really offend.

Pirate, 11 Jun 2010Hi all .. I'm here to explain to you what a SmartPhone is incase u forgot :)
Smart:(SMART i... moreSorry, but that is more of like your own personal description of what a smartphone is. There's actually no definite or official definition of a smartphone that enumerates features that it must have. Here's what a common definition of a smartphone which the iphone easily qualifies.
"Mobile phone which includes functions similar to those found on personal computers. Smartphones provide a one-stop solution for information management, mobile calls, email sending, and Internet access. Smartphones are compact in size and often only slightly bigger than standard mobile telephones."
So if you're trying to imply that the iphone is not a smartphone, you are mistaken.

[deleted post]That is more than what the iphone would cost under an official carrier. So it is wrong to say that the iphone costs twice as much as the n8.

I am really surprised to see comments from other users on the features and quality of iPhone and other mobile phones. As some of the users said, I have used different brands including Sony Ericcson, Nokia and Samsung. None of them were able to impress me like iPhone. I know what a basic phone should have and what a smart phone should have. But first thing is the user interface and how easily you can navigate through the features. I have recently used N97 and frustrated with its UI. Samsung sucks in navigating from one screen to other. Sony Ericsson is some what better but again cannot be compared with iPhone.
One of the feature only iPhone has and none of the other smart phones have is Yahoo mail. You can have only Yahoo Plus in all other phones but iPhone supports free Yahoo account even. Browsing experience is excellent. No one can beat Apple in paying music. I agree they are selling iPhone at higher prices. This is the only drawback I have observed with iPhone.
Regarding Camera (photo shooting and video recording), how often we use these features. Almost all have a digital camera through they own a phone with camera. Even the camera in iPhone is not that bad. I have iPhone 2G and the photos are above average.
