    Well, for me and for the all out there iPhone stands nowhere if it even comes to mess with n-series! listen people, iPhone - who wants a phone that only has a touchscreen and not even enabled for video recording with the 2MP camera with in itself! No need of comparing N96 and that piece of plastic so-called iPhone! Go for Nokia if you want to get all the features that ease of use for our daily routine! Go for NOKIA!!

    iphone is flat and is easy to move it in your pocket! the battery is better than n96. so the i phone is the best!!!!!!

    In my opinion the iPhone is the better phone here. Personally I expected better from Nokia when it comes to battery power, 2.5 hours of call time is frankly not enough from a phone manufacturer that has been in the business for so long and is aware of the consumers needs. I can accept that the iPhone is a letdown when it comes to its camera. The 2 megapixels and no flash are no match for the nokia’s 5 megapixels. It is obviously beaten by the nokia here. Overall however the iPhone is definitely the winner for me, longer battery life, both call time and music playback make it more suitable for long days out.

    Combine these two phones with the best features and you got a winner. For me the I phone lack of things like stereo bluetooth for headphones, 2mp camera, DRM restriction with music type files just isnt good enough and frankly overated. Sure it looks great, the browser is awesome but after a week who cares! The N96 is the superior product here.

    There's no comparison, they are two different classes of phone (seen in the price difference). N96 is a much better device to have in your pocket than the iPhone.

    Mac OS and iTunes are counted as benefits on the iphone? lol!

    I'm not too sure Youtube or similar sites would be pleasant at dial-like speeds.

    It seems when an Apple Product is compared its always in the best of light as with others its clinical in the result. Easily the Nokia kicks the iPhone in alot of area's. So why not state it!
