The only thing that bothers me is this new security framework to prevent piracy and cracked appz from running. It is becoming very painfull to use them because of that. So if I had to buy one phone now I would go for Windows mobile because of it flexibility and easiability to run pirated stuff.

N96 is told that its is a step forward, but I Dont see anything forward in it. N95 has a dedicated gaming GPU (Hardware acceleration), N96 doesnt have one. N95 8Gb has a ARM 11 Dual processor architecture whereas N96 has ARM6 which is primitive when compared. N96 has the advantage of only higher memory. Dont know what the use is of having higher memory without any performance. Both Phones have same features execpt for the TV functions in N96 where you can get a third party application for N95 I own a N95 8GB and I must warn you that it is the best gaming phone ever made.

N95's are still sold as brand new in stores. Both models too. Mine was built in January '08 and it was the 2 gig version. The 5800 prototype screen was the exact same as the mass production model screen. If you wish to remain as a blind ignorant Nokia fanboy without even trying the other phones, I'm not stopping you. Fanboys come, fanboys go. PS. This post was written with iPhone from my bed. :-) Sigh. N95’s are still sold as brand new in stores. Both models too.

How about N96, N85 or E71 instead. ;) And since it was prototype, the screen is most likely updated few times since... Brand new N95? :o

I swapped my brand new N95 for an iPhone 3G this year.. and guess what? I don't regret it one bit. Sure the Apple lacks a proper camera, but the OS is simply way better than anything else out in the market. Using Safari with your fingers is so much better than any browser for Symbian, that you just do not know it until you try it. Trust my word on this. One thing that scares me about new Nokias is their choice of touchscreen technology. They use resistive screens which are VERY easily scratched compared to capacitive screens. My friend who's a programmer at Nokia had gotten his 5800 prototype scratched beyond repair in less than three months. Imagine how it would be in one year? Nokia has done the mistake of simply ignoring their hard-to-program Symbian and just focus on adding more and more bloat on their software. Until Nokia ditches Symbian and creates a new phone OS by scratch, all I'll do is piss on their phones. The quality of Nokias is also not very great. My N95 slider had a pretty nasty amount of play in it and the plastic squeaked horribly when I squeezed the phone in my hand. The iPhone has none of that, it's rock solid. My advice: before being a fanboy of either device, try them both out. Then give your opinion. Mine changed by doing so.

The plectrum "tail" is just so cool and it works like a charm. :) It's suppose to be a cheap phone and that's far from being flagship model, but it feels so great and has awesome features!! Have you tested the new S60 v5.0 user interface? Old interface was slow and clunky, but in 3.2 and especially 5.0 (touch ui) is just awesome. And the better yet, all my old software (3.X) still works in 5.0! * Nokia has the best optics. * Nokia has the best GPS HW and SW. * Nokia has the best games. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqwoYNYE4_w) * Nokia has the best selection of software to download (google s60 or symbian!) for free! * Nokia has the best ùsability and battery life. * Nokia has the best price. It's ridiculous how much features iPhone is missing, that other devices has been having for years. I wouldn't call it a phone really, but a cheap toy with high price tag. How come, that Xpress Music 5800 is half the price of iPhone? And how about the thing, that Apple decides which software are allowed to AppStore, meaning that it dominates whatever software in its phone. Ex. Apple wants no competition for Safari. Now, how would you like the idea about not being able to use any other webbrowser, except Internet Explorer in Windows? In S60, you can download any browser you want, like Mini Opera (which is great), and for free!! I bet that N97 will be great, since it has features that no other phone can even compete! PS. And even BATMAN uses nokia! =D I like my Nokia, especially new Xpress Music 5800.

Nokia lets see touch HD has no flash, the camera sensor n lens of lower quality and ya its WIN MO... umm which something i would like to stay away from till the time Microsofts rumored phone isnt out... there is no keys for camera so your focus or capture is only via touching the screen so it also means once u touch the screen u have to take the picture .... as there is no cam key ummm with good screen pixels n only 65K colors HD takes hit under the sun.... It has no TV out... and... most important personally it has no keyboard.... i remember my old htc touch once its touch screen stopped function i was left with no option..... so Keyboard is a must for me.... @33 HD umm owns… Nokia lets see
