Nokia N95 vs iPhone
Things in the UK are a bit different when compared to the US. For example, in the UK, you can get a Nokia N95 Smartphone for free once you get a subsidized plan. As of right now, Americans have to pay $650 for the privilege of owning an N95.
With the iPhone coming to the UK on November 9th I have to wonder how the demand is going to be for the iPhone. In terms of raw features, the N95 trumps the iPhone. With the N95, you get HSDPA, a 5 MP camera, 30 fps video camera, A2DP Bluetooth, and GPS.
If you had the choice, would you be willing to forgo an iPhone and get a free N95? With the price of the iPhone set at £269 I’m sure a lot of people are thinking the same thing.
Personally, I prefer the user experience of the iPhone. The iPhone GUI makes navigating and getting things done seamless. Plus, it’s arguably one of the best iPods available. The N95 has your average cellphone interface.
But given the cost issue, I sometimes have to think that a N95 + 8gb iPod Nano > 8gb iPhone.
