Hello everyone...

All of you may know that the iPhone is coming out shortly in about a month and I am due for a new phone!

I love the touch screen on the iPhone and the Internet browser (safari). However, Nokia always makes excellent phones. The N95 is a lot more powerful than the iPhone but without the touch screen.

There is not a huge difference on the price. iPhone is $600 for a 4GB. N95 is about $750.

What do you guys think?

 

DAMN that phone is hot. but i want qwerty.

edit : i havent made up my mind to vote yet.

 

I Sell phones for Cingular and the N95 IS a good phone, but Its older and NOT a Cingular tested/approved phone... meaning it MAY/MAY NOT have bugs or issues as far as functionality (if thats a word :P). NOW.. If you wanna be "unique" get the N95, cuz odds are when that iPhone hits everybody and their mothers gonna jump on it. From what I've heard the iPhone will have a touch screen QWERTY and most likely hand-writing recognition text entry mode. Somethin to think about....

 

N95 > iPhone

 

and calling the N95 older than the iPhone is a bit of a misnomer, since the iPhone doesn't even have a 3g radio in it.

 

you may want to consider these upcoming puppies too
N81 and n82

There is an N95'ish phone with a qwerty thumbpad...I can't find it though...

 

get a nokia e62.

 

Built in GPS FTW.

 

surely you mean the E61i?

 

So It will cost me 300 pounds to get the n95...

 

E62 sucks... and the N95 is DEFINETLY an older phone bein that its ALREADY out and the iPhone has yet to be RELEASED.... Understand what old and new means now?

 

I got my N95 for about 3 weeks and I like it a lot. Software is kind of slow but after the firmware update (v 11). Most issue is resolved. The GPS works and it took a while (about 2 mins) to get a fix on my location. I love the 5 MP camera, it took some pretty good pictures.

 

Way to tell off this noob!!

 

i was referring to the e62, since it is out and i have used it and contrary to other people's opinions I like it. Only issues I have run into are using it with Java apps that require network access...otherwise it handles everything i need...isync, syncs with exchange, imap email, web, etc.
