you bas . that puts the iPhone to shame.
so which one did you get? those are two separate models.
BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIN
funny thing is i bought it from india for 300 dollars cheaper.... GO KILL YOURSELF....
the 1 qb model....
that's cool. how much did it set you back?
200 dollars.... not bad....
not bad at all. have you downloaded the Lightsaber application? it kinda looks like it doesn't work all that great, but it's a cool program.
nope... i just got it today....
What are you talking about? All the people who are computer engineers and computer programmers are from India and that region. So all the people who have a hand in making the phones and other electronics/computer programs are from around there.
i'm sure usaa employee can confirm this
Wait...im confused you can only buy it in India??
no. fillmoe is being a cheap ass.
Oh ok, because I was looking on ATT website just out of curiosity of cost and I couldn't find it
isnt there a problem with the slides?
check if it aint faulty
The stereotypes beside Taxi driver and 7-11 employee is computer or electronic engineer. The ultimate indian stereotype Apu has degrees in both.
Nokia sucks.
iphone>nokia
now that's funny.
i'll take the iPhone UI over Nokia's anyday. open source apps are nice for Nokias though, but the iPhone SDK comes out soon.
iPhone over any Nokia, any day. Except for the Vertu though.
When I read what you guys write about phones and anything techy it just really depresses me! I have a much more basic phone, but I know it does alot more than what I use it for, and I'm sure if someone taught me I would use it. Is there like a cell phone school I could go to?!
i found this review out there. sorry, apple fans. white ain't always right.

Instead of making a comparison, here is a list of differences between the iPhone and the N95
Bluetooth
iPhone - May work, but is a very limited and closed system with few practical uses.
Nokia N95 - Has A2DP and AVRCP. This means you can:
Use it as a wireless music storage device in your car to transmit your music in excellent quality to your car stereo to play back the music.
Control the phone’s playback of your music collection from your car radio.
Use both cameras of the phone as an excellent wireless webcam for your PC with Mobiola Webcam.

GPS
iPhone - Cell tower emulated triangulation. Voice instructions.
Nokia N95 - Built in real GPS hardware, cell tower emulated triangulation, External Bluetooth hardware capable, Assisted GPS or any combination of all three. You always have some kind of fix. With the GPS you can:
Find your current location in a foreign city at night and find and get direction from where you are to where you want to go.
Get directions to services of all kinds.
Use third party add-ons such as Tomtom.
Use the Nokia Sport Tracker for walking, riding bikes, hiking, etc. This provides several different statistical analyzes of distance, elevation, time and distance, including laps and the actual path taken with the ability to save and compare your results with other results.

Video capture

Infrared
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Works great. With it you can Transfer data.
Control all the Infrared devices in your house and office.
Connect to your PC and use the phone as a modem.
Screen
iPhone - Very nice large touch screen. (finger print prone). Requires 2 hands to operate easily.
Nokia N95 - Smaller screen than the IPhone. A larger screen would have been nice. Easy one handed operation.
TV Out
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Works great with the supplied cable. Use it in a hotel room with a BT keyboard to read email and edit office do ents, Use it on your TV to play video games, movies, and share pictures.
Cable Interface

Speakerphone
iPhone - ?

Speakers
iPhone - Mono sound
Nokia N95 - Probably the best set of stereo speakers every installed in a cell phone.
Ring tones
iPhone - Is it even worth mentioning?
Nokia N95 - Use pretty much anything you want. Any audio track on the phone can be used. Create your own mix right on the phone itself and save it as a new mp3 or ring tone.
Traveling
iPhone - You are locked to ATT, period.
Nokia N95 - Unlocked and support for various networks across the globe. If you are traveler, the iPhone is not even a consideration if you do your research.
Sexiness (I am putting this here because CNET mentioned this)
iPhone - Sleek and cool looking, but viewed as a toy in the workplace.
N95 - Viewed as THE phone of a technologically competent professional.
Battery
IPhone - Longer lasting than the N95, but not removable
Nokia N95 - Replaceable battery. If you find yourself in the EMERGENCY situation where you need to make a call and do not have access to a charger and your battery is dead, you can just replace the battery with a spare. With the iPhone you could be stuck off the side of a cliff in a car with no power and trapped. Unfortunately, Apple seemed to overlook this MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF HAVING A CELL PHONE IN THE FIRST PLACE. EMERGENCYS! I would actually be willing to get my wife this phone if it were not for this issue.
Additional third party applications
IPhone - None at this time.
Nokia N95 - Several different office applications, programming, game emulators such as MAME (allowing playing pf 1000’s of known arcade game classics), Synch applications, Tune musical instruments, Gmaps, Google maps, Phone Guardian, GSM Tracker, ybroswer, FExplorer, SysExplorer, studio nokia, mobile web server, cCam, Carbide ui, SymSMB, Instant Messaging, VoIP,SSH/Telnet, rar files with Mobilerar, stream with Orb or TVersity, Mobiola Webcam, Mobiola Microphone Remote, Mobiola Remote Phone Control, Tomtom, NavXS and others, A ore GSM Tracker, ultimat voice recorder, really nice 3D games by the hundreds, HourPower, Digital Clock, Mobisophy InteractiveVoice Call Master, Webgates Advanced Call Manager, MobieGenie, Divx player, CORE Player, Flash 5 player, PeerBox, TextQuick, Mobile Weather, eBuddy, MSN, Mig33, ScanR, Palringo, Adobe PDF support preinstalled, MS Excel and Word support pre installed, S60 Internet Radio, VCEL, ShoZu, TypePad Mobile, OperaMini, The Kaywa Reader, Jaiku, Nokia Sensor, Nokia Team Suite, Gmail Mobile, Symella, SymTorrent, Python for S60, PuTTy, QReader, ReadM, Chords for S60, S-Tris 2, Nokia - Wellness Diary, Acala 3GP Movies, studio_nokia, MyStrands, OggPlay, JabpLite, Calcium, GCalSync, Autolock, MobileRar, Nokia Local Search, Scenetone, Tasky, Nokia DJ Mixer, Fring, WorldMate, CellTrack, Loc Bluepulse, Spodtronic, Mobixie, Hibaru, DJMixerNSeries, SafeTxt, GamesFlash, Market Simplified for Mobiles, myNumbers, Qibla Compass for Mobiles, Handylearn Counter, Weight and Measures Quick Study Guide, mS , Virgin Radio & Podcast Player.
I could add to this list for hours. Many of these applications are free. Most of these programs are well written and feature rich. These are not trivial little tidy bits. If you really want a smart phone, it has to be smart enough to know that it will not do everything out of the box and some things should be left to outside programmers to develop. The iPhone’s application list is not even a bad joke compared to the N95. The problem with comparing the two is that it takes months just to get a handle on the capabilities of an N95. Most N95 users do not take the time to respond to such comparisons, as the
comparison is not only foolish, but requires quite a bit of time to accurately list the N95’s capabilities.
