Sorry I forget to mention it depend on how you need to hold your phone with & without bumper cases & whether you want some versaility if it drops more than trice time. Also whether you want your phone to automatically drop calls due to crazy erratic iphone behavior LOL ok. Also your phone if an iphone might also drop calls without the antenna issue, this time it's a sensor that thinks your ear is not actually hugging your phone & call drops btw, this is not antennagate issue but close :)

Also do you want the ability to bluetooth files across to other bluetooth computers or phones, such as PIM information, or other data. Do you want Videocalling to work on 3G as well as WIFI. If you do, then please don't buy iphone, it's no good for you.

Also do you want to be able to have individual ringtones in which the OS doesn't care which one you use whether mp3, wma, wav, aac, etc...

Also would you like an FM Radio on your phone , then please don't go for Iphone4, it won't have it tbh.

Thanks Sonia & pls we Nokia guys welcom your questions, by all mans pop over to hte nokia forums & we'd be delighted to help you.

Alternatively if you must require it here in another DOMAIN, then we would still be delighted to allow you to know of a phone which will do all those things & more.

Hello Sonia,

I see there aren't many helpful Iphone 4 users here willing to help you yet. So I may aswell advertise & help Sonia. Nokia guys are nicer so.. ¬

It depends on what you want to do with your phone really! Please tell us what you would like to do with your phone, your uses with it, then we can give you a general assumption of what both brands & platforms can offer you.

Thanks.

works just fine as it is.
The only use for the bumper is to protect the phone in case you drop it.

Here is how Apple is going to be soon the LARGEST company in the world and how Nokia is slowly going down the drain :

We recently updated the Trefis price estimate for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) from $365 to $400, in part to reflect higher expectations for the iPhone and iPad. While tweaking our model, we thought it might be interesting to see what drivers could justify a $500 stock price based on where we feel potential upside to our current estimates exist.

We considered how Apple currently stacks up versus competitors such as Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), RIM (NASDAQ:RIMM) and Motorola (NASDAQ:MOT), and we considered the outlook of the smartphone and tablet markets. There are two key areas that could drive meaningful revisions to our estimates and drive a new $500 price estimate: 1) iPhone market share of mobile phones and 2) the number of iPads sold.


+$55 from Higher iPhone Market Share of Mobile Phones


IDC recently published that as of 3Q10, Apple holds 4.1% market share [1]. The Trefis community forecasts that Apple’s market should rise from currently around 4% in 2010 to reach 14% by the end of the forecast period. If Apple’s mobile market share were to reach 17% by the end of the Trefis forecast period, that would imply $55 of upside to the current Trefis price estimate.



Given the popularity of the iPhone 4, Apple’s access to large new markets such as China and an expected lift from the iPhone’s widely expected distribution agreement through Verizon (NYSE:VZ) in the US, Apple will continue to gain market share in the mobile phone market.

The company’s share increase could come at the expense of players like RIM and Nokia (NYSE:NOK). We estimate that RIM will have about 8% mobile phone market share by the end of the Trefis forecast period; however, this may prove to be optimistic if business customers increasingly opt for iPhones or Android-based smartphones.

For Nokia, we expect that the company will continue to lose mobile phone market share both in emerging and developed markets. For emerging markets (accounting for about 50% of Nokia’s value), we expect Nokia’s mobile phone market share to decline from nearly 40% today to under 34% by the end of our forecast period.

+$45 from Higher iPad Unit Sales


Following the successful launch of the iPad, the tablet market has blossomed and Apple controls a large part of this market. Despite the flurry of new tablets coming to market, we believe that competitors will have trouble catching up to Apple’s lead due to the iPad’s popularity versus other devices and the support of its well known and easy to use App Store.

iSuppli estimates that iPads shipped will reach 12.8, 43.7 and 63.3 million for the years 2010-2012 [2]. By increasing the forecast below to reach iSuppli’s estimate of about 63 million iPads sold in 2012 and keeping a slower growth rate beyond 2012, our analysis suggests that iPad units sold could reach nearly 90 million by the end of the Trefis forecast period. This would imply $45 of upside to the current Trefis price estimate.



Based on our current $400 Trefis price estimate for Apple’s stock and the $100 of additional upside attributable to the scenarios above, we would reach a $500 Apple stock. In the $500 Apple stock scenario, iPhones would account for about 51% of the stock and iPad would contribute about 18%.

If you're in the market for an iphone, better wait for the iphone 5 which will come out early 2011. The iphone 4 has plenty of issues.
