Between Iphone & Nokia N95 8gig

bin thinkin on buying one of these new toys recently, got an offer for the iphone @  N105k frm a friend that just got back but then i spotted the nokia n95 8gig @ park n shop and it was smashing! the big screen was a major attraction since i have alot of imaging and gaming needs. reviews have read shows the iphone is indeed a beautiful piece of work (status symbol), very good interface and navigation  but not very functional ( no bluetooth, infra red, sms forwarding, 2 megapixel cam etc). the n95 8gig is however more functional from the reviews have read about it (its about N95 k). am seeking opinions frm anyone currently using any of these phones on their experience with it. am thinkin more on in nokia line . thanks

even if you really want to go for the iphone, i'll not advice u to purchase it for 105k. The standard nigerian cost is 80k even tho its sold unlockd for $400 internationally. At slot, it costs 100k. Tell your friend that he's a . . .

That aside, what good is it to get a phone that limits you? Unlockd phones can't enjoy firmware upgrades from apple, so bye bye to new features. 2MP camera witout flash, wats that? A co worker bought it at 80k and sold it off at 52k within 2 weeks.

Dont do somthn u'll regret.

You don't even nid to think, go for the NOKIA N95.

both are technological misharps. _{at least for now}
capiche? 

n95 does not have nothing, it has something, in fact everything. only problem i see which isnt a problem to u but is to me is the . . . u know now, the money!!! kai! 95k. add small on top i go buy another Dual Core 

The latest price 4 n95 probably shouldnt be more than #87k.
Coz a friend of mine told me he got his 4 #85k.

@neoteny, shut da fcu!< up. The iphone sucks, no matter what.
 That phone is way 2 complicated. . . . . . , what if i don't hv an internet conn, then the phone wuld be of no use because i can't download songs to my phone using itunes.
 Nokia rocks. . . . . , and it's the best.

Infobaba, beware!!!., , , your friend can betray u and sell u a fufu phone. . . . . . . . . , infobaba, don't say i didn't warn u.

k.

You took those words right out of my Butt 

calm down neoteny. your blood dey hot

i was enjoying your post until it got to the stage where you compared it with Nokia's first symbian phone. . . men, that's bullsh*t. So if i decide to go into laptop manufacturing today and make one with 2GB hard disk, you'D say 'well, its his first one. . . lets buy it and hope it gets better.' DUH!

the iPhone was meant to be a business phone. that's why it incorporates a comprehensive email client that supports IMAP. That's blackberryish  . Your rants about 2MP camera and other sub-features being enough for you was the same thing i heard from my co-worker who bought it sometimes ago. I guess you know the end of the story.

Nobody is telling anyone not to buy the iPhone. Believe me, if the iPhone went for 50k or much less, then i'll have nothing against it. At least, i don't complain when people purchase Samsung handsets . The poster asked a question comparing the iPhone with the N95 8GBwe answered and adviced. Now, will you still go ahead and advice him to buy the iPhone even after he stated his likes and dislikes while comparing both phones?

Put some reasoning

@infobaba
touche. you might be surprised o. no be by megapixel. That just depicts the size of the picture with in turn increases the amount of detail that can be seen at 100% size. by the way. the N95-1 has a problem with the way it renders images due to the 'edge enhancement' algorithm it uses. This makes the pictures look unreal. For instance, if you take a picture of someone standing in a feild, the result would look like the person was cut out and placed on that background. I guess this issue as been corrected in the N95-3 tho.

@naijafan

it was exactly my reasoning i put up which you seem to have prob;lems with, but i guess its due to faulty comprehension on your part. my rant was directed at all the folks who insist on comparing the iphone to highend business devices.

iphone is part of apples digital life revolution as an extension to iLife (not just the suite). of course it has imap! that doesnt make it a business gadget since it doesnt support enterprise mail servers. try it out with MS Exchange or BES and goodluck.

its got imap because of yahoo push email, and its got pop3 support but then even nokia series 40 phones have some basic pop support. so having email support doesnt mean its target are the business suits, ok. business types don't want to sync photos and tunes and videos and podcasts. they just want to edit office docs and get corporate emails. 

remember its a widescreen ipod with phone built in, and the ipod is a mass market consumer entertainment device and and that is apple's niche: digital enetertainment.

once you are able to grasp that point, you will understand further that blackberry and iphone occupoy two different market sub segments.

sure im ok with 2mp. maybe its because i have a 7mp cybershot. or maybe im not really into taking photos with my phone.

also thge iphone may not have gps. but i don't see how that is a loss. i have it on my e90 but i can't understand what i have it for. i don't go hiking and latitudes and lontitudes and what the heck they mean aint my worry.

these are my opinions.

so if you want gps, 5mp camera, bluetooth FTP, the dated series 60 interface and plastic buttons then go for the N95.  but if you really want great digital photos, lovely videos, fabulous music, a cool user interface, desktop class aplications, a sweet browser and a work of art go for the iphone.

if you want a portable windows experience (with all its crashes and bugs) buy a windows mobile 6 device.

if you want corporate email, buy a blackberry.

if you just want to phone, dammit, then get a 3310!


and just in case you are wondering im a member of apple developer connection registered as neoteny. check the members list. i work with Cocoa and dashcode.

@tope

the iphone is very easy to use. if you find it complicated then i suggest you get a brain transplant. i don't think you even own one.
