I'm calling you out on your lame posts. Is anyone else over this guy? Every post is the same, discussing kool-aid and the all caps "LOL." This guy claims to be a wireless phone user for 10+ years but if you are 13 years old, isn't that impossible?

My theory is this; average joe is just your average joe and he cannot afford the iphone even at the new $300 & $400 price point, which is understandable and not worth being negative about. However, he is so angry about it that he quit his job at Pizza Hut, moved in with his parents, and has dedicated his life to bashing the iphone, maybe the most revolutionary wireless handset ever. Poor little fella, I almost feel sorry for him. Not really though.

PS I can't wait for his response it migh...

Ya, I don't understand what his beef is with Apple and the Iphone and the people that want it. Who cares if someone wants to spend the money THEY earned on the Iphone. It's not YOUR money they are spending.

Dude, you really need to get over this whole Iphone bashing thing, it's old and tired and we are sick of it. If you invested as much time and energy into starting a business as you did bashing the Iphone, you would be a damn millionaire!

So please, stfu about and get a life! ๐Ÿ™„

Symbian is an open operating system meaning that there are literally thousands of 3rd party applications available for it to accomplish multiple tasks. It is also 3g and wow, it can actually record video clips at 30fps. The iphone can record 1 fps you just have to slide your finger as fast as possible accross the screen to create the animation from pic to pic lol. Like flip book art. And for me, I like having buttons so I guess that is an extra bonus as well. And from what I've heard, the iphone gets average RF while the n95 gets amazing RF reception.

BUT the 3G N95 WILL be subsidized bringing the price into iPhone territory once again.

I really would like to know from an iPhone buyer where the iPhone is better then the N95 enough to discount the myriad of areas the N95 Smokes the iPhone.

Here is some help

N95 3G
Better OS (open source)
Real GPS not "Google Maps"
Better browser for Wifi
Removeable/replacable battery
30FPS Video
5MP AF camera
MMS capable
Yes you can cut and paste
STEREO BT
Shows up as Drive on PC transfer of files drag and drop
FULLY implimented BT
Can be used on any GSM network without hacking.
Email push

I do not believe any of the above is on the IPhone

I believe after the subsidies The N95 will be the same or again maybe $100 more then the...

Thats right. All those bleeding edge of technology folks drooling at the coming iPhone. Did not even know the N95 existed for $100 more you got a whole lot more.

ITs far more then I make it out to be. Do the math.

Tell me where the iPhone is a better phone

Reception? NO
Screen SIZE? NO
Operating System? NO
Battery life? YES BUT you can actually replace the battery in the Nokia
Camera? Not by a long shot
MMS? NO
Smart Phone Features? NO
Blue Tooth Implementation? NO
Video recording? NO

Oh but the iPHOne has that cute little touch screen and iTunes.

While I find this entire thread to be quite juvenile, I've got to say this...

Don't forget that the iPhone doesn't have expandable memory. What are you going to do with 8 GB? I have the 30 GB iPod, and I used up 8 gigs with my music and 10 gigs with my movies and TV shows and I'm still not done. With pictures, ringtones, wallpapers, etc, the 8 gigs gets eaten up very quickly. If a phone has expandable memory, you can get Micro SD cards and switch them out when they're full. I hate the iPhone. It lacks so much and people drool all over it. You can't even sync it to work/corporate email. Just get a Blackberry Curve, Blackjack or N95. Screw this device until it comes with MMS, expandable memory and all the other vital features it lacks.

My understanding is that the only new feature not available on other phones that the iphone has is that you can view who left you voicemails, on the iphone, without calling voice mail. The internal battery thing I know they had 6 years to fix so I'm a little befuddled that it is still internal. Other than the memory there are other phones with the same features.

pepsijunky

Sep 11, 2007, 4:59 PM
I agree with you but aren't we all just becoming feature whores? The iphone is put together so well and so easy to use. To me so far, the browser is insane, the way the phone moves through pictures, music etc is excellent, touchscreen is flawless, I guess I just enjoy the apple make-up even though I am not an apple honk. I do not own a mac computer, I do not bow to Steve Jobs, I just love phones and I think this is a good one.

However, the way mms is received is obviously bad, having to log into another website is lame. Also edge is bad, but the wi-fi has been doing a good job of making up for it. The edge on my iphone is twice as fast as the edge on my blackberry curve, I don't know why but it is.

Yeah that's another thing edge sucks but I guess if you're at starbucks you can latch on to their wifi. I'm a bit puzzled why apple went with cingular when there are faster networks.

Coincidently on the news section of phonescoop I think it just recently said that apple is buying an fcc spectrum so maybe they'll try to start their own network? hehe no idea what they'll be doing there but it's costing 4.6 billion.
