That doesn't mean every model the make is gonna be perfect. Inversely, many other cell phone companies who have products at low prices ALSO have good or even better quality than Apple products.

          I'm super intrigued though how everyone who disagrees with Apple's pricing method or sides with affordability and certain phone companies are labeled "Apple haters". Am I an "Apple hater" or "loyal nokia fan" as well?

              So sick of people bashing Nokia when it's been Nokia who really puts out genuine smartphones and have for many years. Apple has put out one device and updated the same device over the years just to catch up with other companies who been putting out devices that copy and paste,mms, 3 to 5 megapixel camer and ota synching which Iphone doesn't still do yet but may the 4g will. Nokia don't copy other's strategy but continue to innovate and for that I'm proud to buy their products. Nokia have their own mapping system not like Apple or Winmo phones. Iphone only has Itunes and soon it will be caught in terms of offering users all types of content look at Android if you catch my drift.

                    all those apple haters and loyal nokia fans. ask urself this why iphone 3g which is 2 years old is more expensive then n97 and n900. simple answer, quality of user experience and good meaningful adverts.

                        Qwerty sucks! Screw qwerty keypad, touchscreen or no touchscreen. Touchscreen is worst! But wifi on the other hand would made the phone perfect. Gotta love that soft rubber keypad. Thanks nokia for thinking of my fragile silky finger which is hurting typing all these on 2730 hard steel keypad.

                          You guys claiming that a smartphone NEEDS a QWERTY, Wi-fi, or touchscreen? Yes those are many things smartphone can do, but some really aren't that necessary. Is the N86 not a smartphone because of no QWERTY or touchscreen? You'd be suprised on how many people don't care about those add-ons, and just want to multitask, run apps, e-mail and internet. In reality, THOSE abilities are what makes a smartphone, and the QWERTY, touchscreen, 5MP, Wi-fi are just extra OPTIONAL features. The C5 can do multitasking, internet, e-mail and apps. It's great for what it does, and contrary to many belief, it is a smartphone.

                              For a smartphone not to have Wi-Fi today means... it is just a regular mobile phone only, not smartphone.

                                A smartphone should come up with a minimum of the following features:

                                - Dual Sim (to segregate official and personnel calls)
                                - QWERTY keypad
                                - 2G/3G Network
                                - GPS
                                - WLAN
                                - Touchscreen
                                - 5MP Camera (minimum)

                                If Nokia add Dual SIM feature to N900, I would say it is a smart phone.
