I don’t think its miles ahead .. i have tried the n95….and I am not an Apple fan…but iPhone has been amazing. N95 has GPS - but having it integrated with Google Maps for the iPhone is amazing. The keyboard is easier.. of course than any of the Nokia phones..

For India, the prices are too high for the iPhone, but then again the N85 is quite high too for a phone.

Atleast in the US its affordable which also makes a difference…now I hear that they are going to slash the iPhone prices again in the US.. so it will be even more affordable. But anyway… the post was interesting.

Poonam: Have you used the latest N series phones - N95 / N82. They are miles ahead of iphone, when it comes to features. I own a N95, and I love it. I agree iPhone is more user friendly, but it is not a value for money product IMO!

Devesh: Yes, both Vodafone and Airtel are releasing it in India. Don’t know who is gonna do it first.

A friend of mine here is a telecom broker - he just got a news bulletin that apparently in India, Bharati Telecom is releasing it?

BTW - I still love my N95 - have you tried any of the accelerometer apps?

The iPhone in India does not have GPS? The iPhone in USA does. Interesting. Hmm…camera quality.. its really not that bad at all…definitely not comparable to the 5 that you get on the N95 - but if you take decent pics.. you can’t tell when you upload the photos to the Internet (I can show you if you don’t believe me ). In general, I hate Apple. I hate everything they make… other than the iPhone. There are so many features that are extremely easier to do rather than to do in any other device, including my Nokia N series. The biggest thing that we use it for is the calendar/to do feature. It is so much easier & quicker to use a “keyboard” rather than trying to click on 7 three times to get a letter. There are things that I like my Nokia for, one is the loudspeaker. iPhone louspeaker is not loud enough. One of the smart things that Apple has done is open it up to developers. There have been some very interesting apps that have been made for FREE - and that means your iPhone won’t go obsolete. Even though there is already talk that they are coming out with a newer model to replace the iPhone as soon as June this year.

Monty: Yes, when it comes to phones - there are very few companies that can beat Nokia. E61 is a fantastic device at the price it comes for.

I own a N95 and my friend has an unlocked iPhone. And, believe me, he hates his device, and regrets having spend 30 grands just for the looks!

Manpreet, I couldnt agree more with you. I’ve been meaning to write an article on the Iphone in a long time, but it never really happened.

Okay, my first impression was that its a really cool device. When you actually play with it, you like it. But for how long? Its very easy to zoom in/out pictures, very easy to goto the next pic.

All said and done, nothing extra ordinary when it comes to the techie features. Infact I’d say my E61 can do most of the things that an iPhone does. So big deal !!! Just over hyped!
