    Anonymous, 13 Nov 2009That list is nowhere near as pointless as yours. Website... moreIphone safari does not reflow text, it simply has pages loading in phone mode, sometimes looking and providing totally different contnent than the original page used to have.

    This is just like sync and push wich iphone doesn't have.

    In both cases there are more ways to solve a problem, iPhone simply has the weakest method of doing it.

    So if you want to send a copy of anything to somone next to you, YOU eMAIL IT?

    It's like going to the post to send a letter to somebody who lives next door... d'oh...

      Websites look a lot clearer on the iPhone it adjusts the text to the size of the screen it has anti-aliasing so it looks much clearer and it has far better zooming abilities, sites on the N97 and 5800 are almost unreadable, it's almost impossible to select links.

      It's got a kickstand whoohoo! Let the pidgeons loose celebrations are in order a crappy plastic hinge is one of the greatest acheivements in human history...

      ...a kickstand???

        They sit around sending documents by Bluetooth???

        What line up one at a time???

        You can email a document and cc it to everyone in the room at the same time as well as anyone on earth with an email address and a way to access it, oh if they are Blackberry users they have a limit of 4MB, iPhones don't.

          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Well, he said business n00b...

          So:
          bluetooth: sending recieving documents sharing them with your partners
          camera: bigger and better camera sensor you can actually use OCR (optical character recognition) for documents and business cards

          I think that's quite a lot the iPhone can't do since the rest of the features are quite the same on both devices.

            Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Does not have 32gb internal memory
            -it does have 32+ via micro SD, as many 32gb memories as you wish

            Does not have 3.5 screen
            - but it does have a higher resolution and looks much crisper (360 x 640 pixels) + a wide aspect ratio like all movies are beeing made today.

            Does not have capacitive touchscreen
            Does not have a glass screen
            (theese two are pretty much the same, capacitative = glass, glass cracks)
            -so year, barely touching it won't trigger unexpected responses.

            Does not have multi touch
            -totally true

            Does not have 600mhz processor
            - but it does play in-browser videos, and films just as good as iphone, so... what does iPhone do again with 600mhz? last till noon?

            Does not have as much RAM as the iphone
            -agreed

            Does not synch with itunes
            -that's sputid, it syncs with it's own service suite.
            -Does iPhone sync wit OVI or sony media center?

            Does not have oleophobic coating
            -does pretty much, it's not glossy

            Does not have the best music reproduction
            -neither does iPhone: http://blog.gsmarena.com/nokia-where-is-the-next-nokia-n91/
            -and it certainly has superb music reproduction on the stereo speakers

            -Does not have access to the app store
            comes with music, ngage, ovi, need more?

            Does not Have touch to focus
            -does have professional photo key with two action times like real cameras

            Does not upload videos directly to youtube or facebook
            -sharing services can be configured for almost any website including youtube and facebook

            Does not have digital compass
            -does not

            Does not have 7.2 mbps hsdpa
            -does not

            No geotagging
            -it's hard to find faults when you've never even had a nokia isn't it? = it does have geotagging.

            Does not come in white
            -white is smudgy and white iPhones show cracks in the case after a ew months of use - this is somewhat irrelevant

            Does not have safari
            -does have flash, plays almose any videos out on the web, can do fine witout any 3rd party apps for that.

            So out of a ridiculous unsorted list that mixes apples with oranges how much of what you postet is either true or relevant?

            And for the last time, the only way flash is a vulnerability is just like if you would click on an application you download that's packed with viruses...
            There are no viruses for iphone or symbian(via flash) or even pc in this day. Perhaps tomorrow?
            On the PC the main flash engine is simply untouchable.
            Aka no deleting replacing or modifying is possible.

            Phishing is actually a much more viable hacking source if you'll check some AV statistics.

                Your 5800 does not even have the internal storage. It's labelled a music phone yet it does not even come close to the iphone's music reproduction levels. It's cheaper than the iphone, yet still it did not sell as many as the iphone.

                  The 5800:
                  1. was released before iphone
                  2. ~costs 150$
                  3. it does almost everything on that list the same or much better + most of the stuff that iPhone doesn't do.

                  It's not the problem of who hates iPhone or what phone beats it.

                  It's the problem that an expensive phone should at least in theory beat cheaper phones.

                  What? is iPhone a bling bling carp like vertu but made for the masses???

                    I DO NOT NEED TRAILERS! I said full movies and shows and they can pe seen either via tv-out or on trips in a TGV or anywhere you don't want to cary a laptop around.
                    Am I going to pay separate for each site to get its personalized app because iPhone can't handle flash?

                    "plus it would drain your battery power"
                    -Yeah iPhone doesn't even last a day, bu they sure advertise excellet battery life too don't they?

                    ". No such thing as choppiness? Look at demos for the great n900. When the reviewer was showing how its flash support works, it was choppy and grainy."
                    - I actually have and it's not grainy at all. It is choppy if you don't let it buffer for a few secs, and all that was in the prototypes.
                    - Only wrong thing in that phone is the keyboard.

                    "The iphone does not want flash support because it will make your phone vulnerable to hackers. Most especially that the iphone is used by its users to pay bills, financial management and banking as well. Unless you tell me that adobe flash can never be used by hackers to get personal information :)"

                    So please show me news abot hackers that hacked your bill while you were watching a video?
                    Or show me hackers on bluetooth 2.0 PLEASE!

                    You are full of manure and lame excuses!

                    So here's your device, 5800, a phone reseased back in 2008.
                    So please start making up what iPhone does, 5800 doesn't.
                    Or will I see the iDon't list with 5800 as a title?

                        There are lots of free apps for the iphone that would let you view movie trailers. Also, there is youtube app. So the absence of flash support on the iphone is a non issue. You said movies? Sorry, but I think you should save movies at home or your laptop. It's no fun watching it on a cell phone, plus it would drain your battery power, plus, flash support on phones are usually choppy and does not provide good movie quality. That's impractical really. No such thing as choppiness? Look at demos for the great n900. When the reviewer was showing how its flash support works, it was choppy and grainy. So please.

                        The iphone does not want flash support because it will make your phone vulnerable to hackers.

                              Hello..i want to know if a seperate keyboard can be used with i-phone..thanx

                              All these apps i keep seeing on my tele is there one for the night sky ie like a planetarian app where you can scroll and see stars and names..Since i -phone uses wifi it would be good if it could link up to an outside windspeed/humidity/temparature gauge and stream results to i-phone..To me it looks a boring device with just a button but what it can do is superbly done,,i wish they would bring out a gadgety version that looks like a high tech device with LED status lights etc..I think thats wat puts most people off it looks dull like most touchscreen but it hides wat it can really do..Anyway thankxs for listening..

                                -I need it for free video sharing sites that stream everything from clips to shows and full movies.
                                A friend if mine has 5800, the cpu is the only thing that should be inferior, but it doesn't feell like that, video sites load a bit slower but there's no such things as choppyness.
                                -If it doesn't handle flash, it's certainly not the "most advanced browser", why advertise it like that?

Let me know what your device is and I will also tell you what functions it's missing. What fake advertising are you talking about? What's fake is that blogsite that you have given us from an iphone hater. That's filled with lies and silliness. And what most things are you talking about? Gosh, it's so frustrating dealing with dense people. You're the one who needs to stop. You're very low iq is nauseating.

First of all, if flash support and bt file transfer is a big deal for you, why did you buy the iphone? Second, phones with flash support do not really work smoothly at all. It's choppy, it hangs, and quite disappointing. 3rd, why would you need flash support on your phone? There are tons of games available for your iphone that would have better quality than web games using flash. Also, there are several apps for videos for news, movie trailers, etc. There's also the youtube app for the iphone. So I really do not get it.
