            In my 5800, I listen to the radio or music player, at the same time I am playing a 3D game and also in the background my GPS is tracking my journey on Garmin XT, I am online on Skype as Fring is running too and Opera Mobile is downloading a music video file from the web. Also, my facebook page is open on another tab in Opera mobile and Skyfire is loading up a flash video on Streetfire (Topgear) so that I can watch it later. There is no lagging or crashing and switching between tasks in very fast. Like to see you Iphone, with its "Efficient and productive multitasking" do all that parallely.

              I believe apple didn't make themself clear, it is actually a fake multitasking. What I mean fake is that apple actually freeze running app on background (short tearm pause) while you need to urgently send an email in between your game playing and you didn't want to lose your game when you can't save at some point. The pause app is not running under background. unlike computer multitasking when you can actually run a web base flash game, example FB farmvilla, growing crops while watching movie that is multitasking.

                  Crap... another handicap phone(you have to agree on this part even when i am using it). Seriously is just buying of the brand than technology because what they claim to release, are technology years ago. Apple has a good marketing strategies and that’s true.
                  An OS with a bright future maybe Google android, but who knows when the win 7 phone is release.

And hey stop talking about next iphone. Just be real. Why do you iphone lovers keep saying 'go and buy a iphone'? Why should i pay for a logo what doesn't even support any multitasking (right now), what doesn't even message delivery report! Ha ha ha! What a joke! Go get a life and don't try to compare iphone with the other brands. Apple's technology is at least 2 years backdated. You guys better make a party because apple is giving multitasking (o my god! Multitasking! Although my 2006'S LG phone does have multitasking and bluetooth oh of course i can use any picture as homescreen wallpaper. Leave it that doesn't a matter)

The screen dual resolution of the next iphone would be higher than any phone that's out there, so how can you say that it's already offered by other phones? The physical design of the next iphone is not revealed yet, so I don't know what you are talking about, lol. The reason I know is that a friend of mine works for Apple, and even he won't tell me what the design would be like and only told me that it's beautiful.

                            I have nothing against Nokia. They're entitled to make their own business decisions. Unfortunately for them, iphone is selling more than its Nokia direct rivals like the N97 and the N900. And don't give me that marketing excuse because Nokia is way more popular than Apple.

                              I really doubt that next model of iphone will have totally different design,

                              apple would never add more buttons to homescreen, they may copy htc hd2 ideas

Like a human being can really multitask effectively, lol. Can you demonstrate to us how you could compose an email and play pacman at the same time please, lol. And again, it's not a new feature on the iphone. 3g and 3gs has it already, they've just improved it in 4.0.

                                  No wonder Palm Pre still couldn't outsell the iphone, lol.

                                      Anonymous, 09 Apr 2010AS i have said before, what you gave as iphone advantages a... moreLies? I am not lying at all. The iphone is indeed a locked device (supposedly). It's a business decision from Apple that works well with their walled approach. Where's the lies in that?

                                      Read the review of the iphone 3gs here in GSM arena as far as music reproduction is concerned. They even backed it up with tests. So please.

                                      Yes, movies from itunes is mainly our option, but you see we didn't really buy the iphone so we can use it as our primary TV, lol. I personally refuse to watch movies on my iphone or any phone. I've only downloaded music videos. Why? Because I'd rather wait to get home and watch movies on my 51 inch flat screen TV. If I'm on the go, my laptop. But never on any phone.

                                      Burst into flames? Check again mister. There are several news as well of Nokia phones exploding. JD powers awarded the iphone 3 years in a row for customer satisfaction and best customer service. Enough said.

                                      The iphone's shorter battery life is mainly because of users who can't seem to put it down for a break. Again, customer satisfaction surveys clearly shows that the iphone outperforms Nokia devices. You are one of the very few Nokia owners who never experience lag on a Nokia device, lol. But hey, I am happy for you for having the perfect version of a Nokia device, lol.

                                      A 5mp camera phone, or even an 8mp camera phone would not let me give up my Canon camera. Photos download faster on facebook with the iphone. I don't need a 5mp camera for that purpose. Any photographer would tell you that 3mp is good enough for that purpose. And is it LED flash that you are boasting about? LOL. Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick to my Canon when taking more important photos. For day to day photos, the iphone is good enough.

                                      Flash is not the way to go. It's unsafe and use too much power. Again, it's a business decision. We're happy not having it, but hey, if you cannot live without it, we don't care either.

                                        hope they bring me more decent phone with good user experience and good spec

                                        btw nokia screw their n97, the manager in charge should be fired and be replaced by n900 !manager
