Have a nice and long weekend by the way ;)

What the!

The bad: The N95 lacks support for U.S. 3G networks; standby battery life is poor; and performance is somewhat sluggish. The hardware feels a bit cheap, and the sliding mechanism could be more secure. It’s also very expensive.

The bottom line: With a 5-megapixel camera, advanced multimedia capabilities, and GPS, there’s no doubt that the Nokia N95 is one of the most feature-packed smart phones to date, but poor battery life and sluggish performance make it hard to justify the high price tag.

Well yes, from that point of view I agree, if you take a look at iPhone as on internet tablet than it is clear winner, mainly due the great high resolution screen but from the futures stand point it sucks competently, you can’t make it better than it is, make a simple table, compare with N95 for example, feature by feature and you’ll see how it looks like, actually it is shame even to compare with powerful smart beast like N95 is!!!!

You can say that iPhone is better than the Nokia N95 only if there is no synergy between your brain and muth!

He warned that unless there is a “meaningful improvement” to the user experience before the phone is launched, it could fail to catch
on and become profitable.

“While the device looks great, we think that the software that runs it could easily end up being a massive disappointment,” he said.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Details of Nokia Corp.’s upcoming riposte to Apple Inc.’s iPhone are beginning to emerge, but analysts cautioned that while the touch-screen gadget is bound to look snazzy, its operating system could disappoint.

iJah420 says… Hello World! Apple is BACK!

FYI

The General public does not need a 1″ user manual to work an iPhone…. and iPhone will only get BETTER iPhon is @ rev. 1.0.

DUH!

You are speaking and writing from YOUR frame of reference. MS Windows Mobile, Symbian etc….. NO synergy between hardware and software….resulting in a vast array of apps & features that are hard to get to, hard to use and if you do get to them they are pretty much useless and CLUNKY.

Take a GOOD look @ the mobile web surfing % of users and tell me what you find..What did you find APOC’? Need I say more?

Very OLD School thinking Apoc’. You fail to realize the importance of the OS that IS the iPhone. Do you have ANY clue as to how many apps and “KILLER APPS” will be developed & available for the iPhone?… from file management to games to enterprise apps to customized iPhones for enterprise deployment…..

Mark my words with this new 3G iPhone all others.. like N O KI A I wanna be like Apple will become Creative MP3s…and drown in the iRiver…..

My best example I can give our readers…

ZUNE! the iPod KILLER!!!! GO MSFT!!!! YEAH!!! MSFT is Gona Take iPod OUT!! GO GO MSFT.. RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH MSFT MSFT BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS YADA YADA YAH!!! YEAH OK!

Does anyone have sales figures on ZUNE! sales.. THE iPod KILLER.

WHAT a #^$%&% JOKE!!!

iPhone 3G 2008 = iPod 2001 x 10 or maybe even x100.

Apple is 3 years ahead of the others…AND THEY AIN’T SITTIN’ STILL….. Did anybody ever ponder the fact that Blackberry is a proprietary OS… HELLO! Not many seem to bash RIM for wanting to maintain CONTROL over their OS.

As far as price for iPhone… that is what ALL the NAYSAYERS said about the iPod.. its too expensive.. it this… its that.. its this… no this too and oh it does not have THIS!!! OH what about this BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! YADA YADA YADA..

Give me a break!!!!!

iJah420 is sick of the NAYSAYERS!!!!

Good Grief..

iJah420 shakes his head…

Anyway, Nokia intention is to kill iPhone by the features so don’t blame them because of the UI only, in my personal opinion adding the touch option to S60 platform is the great move and it also important o say that there will not be the code break and 5th edition will be backward compatible!

Speaking about iPhone, well, it was already discussed numerous times and I am not interesting in opening the same discussion again, it is completely pointless, its hard to say something about phone that lacks file manager for example, phone that lacks cut/copy/paste feature or isn’t capable to process crappy MMS format or record video in 3gp format at least, or phone that has BT but can’t send a files over it, will stop it here as I haven’t enough time to count all cons, crap is crap and that’s it.

We all know that iPhone is nothing but the crap, but general public won’t know that and most of them won’t even realize that when they actually buy one.

The iPhone brings nothing new to the market, except multi touch of course, actually, if it brings anything new, its the look, and honestly, slim and sleek design has been seen before, and it will be done again, Prada is nice example and it going to be even better and better equipped phone with more features.

Price, size, weight, height, width, design, brand, OS, who really care, features before all and in terms of features it simply *, it’s a piece of **** with nice screen over it and extremely good marketing behind it. . .

You should read my S60 5th gen related article for more about interface itself:

u all suck with ur crapy pictures

Apple iPhone for life…. 

Cruch Gear …. some advice… If you keep posting images such as this…NO K I A WANABE!!! you will place your site on the list of Irrelavancy sites for wirless and mobile handset reviews..

The more I look @ that image and with the other 2 reviews I think MS paint is giving it to much credit…

Get me my box of CRAYOLAS boys and I bet I could do better.

GOOD LORD!!!!

iJah is now a history student….

I am probably the only person on the world that have touched this thing without putting the signature on a NDA contract.

And the name Tube is really awful. I thought that was just a codename or something. Really bad branding.

Might be a great phone though. Despite the rantings of someone who has clearly been “pulling tubes” a lot today, Nokia’s certainly go the design and engineering skills to pull this off. And with a Symbian OS (right?) it may be a really nice alternative to the closed system of Apple.

All I can say is this…..

This is the same thing iRiver and ALL the rest did with the iPod KILLER!!!

NOW THIS IS THE iPHONE KILLER!! OOOOOHHHHHH!!!! WOW!!

NOT!

It feels like Déjà vu….

I MEAN REALLY Come ON!.

It took AAPLE 5 YEARS!!!!! to develop the iPhone….and they WERE AND ARE THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS…

GOOD LUCK….. NO…. Kan’t Innovate ANYTHING!!!!

iJah420 gone from here…
