Battle of the smartphones 09:10am on 18 Jun 2009 Come on Guy's! Someone write a HTC Touch / Android / N97 / Iphone comparison to cheer us N97 fan's up :-)
Battle of the smartphones 10:33pm on 17 Jun 2009 But Iphone is all about the apps. The majority are rubbish, the decent ones cost money and that's what Iphone is all about. 18 / 24 month contracts with extortionate line rental charges for an over hyped phone. It has a screen that is vulnerable and non-resistive, only a 3MP camera and rubbish video quality too. It's restricted to the app store. If you want TomTom you will have to pay a high premium. If you have a load of money to burn then the iPhone is for you, but if you add up the initial cost of the phone, the line rental, cost of apps and that you won't be able to upgrade for at least 18months, it's not such a good deal. Yeh the web browser is a bit better, but then O2 coverage will never be as good as Vodafone so it won't always work. The N97 outperforms it in many areas and looks great. You can make the N97 your own, and its the uniqueness that sells it for me. 1st Place Nokia and one big expensive app (THE IPHONE!) In 2nd place.
Battle of the smartphones 9:20pm on 17 Jun 2009 Well, perhaps someone can compare the iphone and n97 to some android based phone's and explain the advantage's and disadvantage's of both. My reason's for buying the N97 are (5MP camera, DVD quality video, TomTom, good web browser, ease of texting, big and bright screen and good build quality).
Battle of the smartphones 8:58pm on 17 Jun 2009 I have been using a Nokia N95 8GB for the past 16 month's. It's been a great phone. It has a 5MP Camera, DVD quality video, 8GB of storage, tomtom, youtube, gmail app and much more. It's been a great phone. I recently visited both the apple and nokia stores on regent street to try both phones out. I was only able to try out the iphone 3g at apple. First impressions were good and everything looked nice a crisp on the screen, but once the novelty of the apps wore off (about 15min) and it took me ages to send a text using the tiny touchscreen keys I was ready to head across the road to check out the N97. They actually had a working N97 for me to try. First impressions... a very sleek, stylish phone. On flicking open the keyboard, the hinge felt solid. The phone felt very tough and at the same time, very elegant. The home page included a number of useful widget's which are continuously updated, such as Facebook, Gmail, You Tube etc. All literally at my fingertips. The touch screen worked well and the keyboard would be very useful when sending emails or using the web browser. I even used the stylus to write a text message using the predictive text function which works extremely well and recognised my handwriting straight away. The screen was bright and the camera took some great pictures, with not too much lag between shots. I prefer the phone in white, It's different and complements the phone's screen and keyboard better (less visible fingerprints too). I was offered a £15 sim card only deal from Vodafone which gives me 600min, unlimited txts and internet every month for 12months. I will be buying the phone on friday in white from the nokia store. This works out cheaper than the contract deals on offer and I will be free to upgrade in 12months time to a new shiny, improved nokia N Series phone :-) Nokia win's hand's down for me......Roll on Friday :-)
