  "The iPhone generating so much hype" may also be due to Nokia's ignorance to customer care. I have lost about $60 since my GPS voice navigation ceased to work after half the subscription term. Nokia refuses to refund this amount. wbear_1@hotmail.com

  You forgot Wi-Fi Infrared and the ability to send file through bluetooth Also The n95 is microSDHC compatible so you can put up to 8GB memory card (32GB coming)You can use the accelerometer to rotate screen in The new version OS of the n95 plus the "MAC OS on the iphone isn't real and i am sure that S60 is better

  First things first I own both of these devices & feel I have the appropriate experience to comment (I own the N95 8G & iPhone 3G). The N95 is an awesome mobile phone incorporating turn by turn GPS, an amasing 5mp camera with Carl Z lens & flash, not to mention a great phone from the leader in the OZ mobile phone market. For me the lack of a touch screen for internet browsing is a big thumbs-down. As an MP3 player it has many short comings, and is also a bit brick like in its thickness. Whilst the iPhone has a much bigger screen & touchscreen, the lack of bluethooth for file sharing, inability to MMS, 2mp camera make the device a little inferior. HOWEVER, the app store and developers have made many of these short comings fade into insignificance for the iPhone 3G, BRING ON iPhone OS 3.0.... At the end of the day when deciding which is the better way to go, the function that you will most likey be basing your decision on needs to be aligned with the right device. For me the short comings in the iPhone are minimal and the functionality and ability to have 4 devices in 1 win hands down FOR ME. The OS upgrades in 3.0 are a bonus ...

  You can just get apps on the IPhone to do half of that stuff that they gave it an 'no' for! IPhone all the way.

  Having purchased one of the first mobiles nearly 35 years ago & up dated approx every 18 months I have purchased my last Nokia product as they offer the worst service and back up of any company that I have ever supported. Despite many emails for a simple quote for a repair estimate,all one gets is a constant demand for ones personal data so that they can bombard you with their hype. they have no regard for the time of day and I struggle to find one nice word to say. If you need service beware as my experiance is that here is none and I only purchased the top expensive models at over a thousand dollars. They are aware that my company purchases 12 unites at a ime eery 18 months yet they do not care

  i just want a freakin' phone that gets signal all the time. Would trade all the gimmicks for just that. By the way, Nokia will never get my business again as they have weazelled out of honouring their new phone warranty on three different nokias i have owned by claiming they had evidence of being immersed in water which they absolutely had not been. Just give me a phone that people can contact me on and stand by your warranty and i'll buy it. you can keep the rest.

  There is an interesting talk called "Global Mobile" at Stanford Univ. on Oct 21st, where Device Anywhere, MoBlast and KPCB's Cyriac Roeding are on the panel. This may be a good venue for some of you to ask them questions about how to build and test applications on mobile platforms that can run anywhere in the world. Goto www.vlab.org for more details.

  Both are good devices at various things. But I cannot do without the fact that I can take a 5 Megapixel photo with a N95.. It takes a great quality photo with autofocus. I no longer carry a camera with me and I can catch some spontaneous moments. Otherwise I surf the web, and play all my music and videos with my N95 8GB. Sorry to iPhone but its easy interface does not outweigh its lact of useful features in my case.
