With the release of the iPhone, you may be spoilt for choice. Should you be getting an iPhone or stick with a Nokia N95. Here are some background information to help you decide.
Apple has often regarded the iPhone as one smart phone—yet there are a lot of competitions. One of the strongest contenders is Nokia’s N95. Which one is better? Actually, the choice rests upon you, but this comparison can help you make a decision a lot faster and easier:
Why N95 Is Better
One of its best advantages is its GPS network, which permits you to navigate very easily. This built-in program is the secret to finding addresses, locations, street names, and even postal codes.
For a minimum fee, you can upgrade this service so you can use voice instructions through a handset. It also supports a lot of push-email programs and can synchronize along with your Microsoft Exchange Server. This allows you to view any MS Office document through a program called QuickOffice. It will also optimize these documents so you can read the texts more effectively. This is one of the most important features used by business users. Unlike the iPhone, it is equipped with a built-in FM radio. The headset allows you to access your radio and can also function as a tuner.
Why iPhone Should Be Your Choice
First of all, the iPhone isn’t only a phone. It’s also an iPod. You can play all sorts of media files, as long as they’re in acceptable formats. You can listen to music, watch a movie or a TV show, or listen to audiobooks. Its 3.5-inch screen further maximizes your viewing experience for full entertainment pleasure.
The phone also has full capability to accept Web-based e-mails even in real time, as long as it’s in HTML format. You can configure your Yahoo! Mail for that.
The iPhone makes use of a web browser called Safari, which is highly advanced. You can actually view those web pages as is. You may also zoom them in just by a simple tap of your finger.
Apple wants to make sure that you have a mini-OS right at your phone. This means you can enjoy common desktop applications, along with its basic phone functions. Expect a calendar, a Notepad, and an address book, among others. You may even do multitasking as you can surf the Web as you’re downloading your e-mail, allowing you to save considerable time.
Perhaps it’s the phone’s user interface that the iPhone is famous for. It integrates the touch screen technology, which means you don’t have to use any keypad just to send in your text or make a call. It utilizes instead virtual QWERTY keyboard, which only appears when they are to be used.
Which one is better, you say? It’s still the user’s viewpoint that matters most.

Nokia N95 Review
May 1st, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
Nokia N95 aims to be in the league of the latest cell phones that are all-in-one devices- cell phone,camera, music player and computer. With multiple connections options like Wi-Fi and 3.5G (HSPDA), this phone also ensure that Internet is always accessible. This phone also comes with a GPS which will allow you to find your way around.
The phone cover slides smoothly and the keypad is huge with its buttons providing good feedback. The screen is bright, making reading and scrolling through the menu easy on the eyes.
The phone’s media playing capabilities with Bluetooth A2DP was clear and crisp when used with the Jabra BT620s headset. It also comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack, using normal stereo earphones is no problem here. If you like, you can also hook it up to a TV via the Video Connectivity Cable so that you can watch videos or do presentations.
There are certain smart features here. To watch videos, just pull down the sliding cover beyond the keypad and the screen automatically switches to landscape mode. 4 buttons appear under the cover to be used for accessing multimedia files. When you silde the phone’s cover to its “closed” position, the phone automatically switches to the portrait mode.
The high price tag is mainly due to the GPS function. Using the NAV-Fone Pro software, the GPS showed my position accurately but it certainly took some time to lock its GPS location. Something I believe will vary depending on your location.
The good:
The Nokia N95 cell phone boasts a 5-megapixel camera that produces good-quality photos and videos. It comes with advanced multimedia capabilities and has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Symbian smart phone also features integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and an innovative two-way slider design.
The bad:
The N95 lacks support for U.S. 3G networks and standby battery life is poor. 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. If you are one at the cutting edge of technology, this is the handphone you would appreciate and pay for.
