    Heartbreak Kid, 21 Jun 2010Ah the rubbish iDont list ha ha That list is so pathetic... moreWhat experience? there is no live content and widgets and live content are the heart of communication these days.

    iPhone isn't as popular as you think. It's just as popular in the us as nokia is in EU.

    And by having screens with shortcuts, there is no user experience. User experience means live widgets social networks update and constant IM connections.

    IMHO ip4 is still a gambeboy with GSM.

      Nokia = high expecations but a major letdown in the end. The N8 will fail no doubt. Android phones are doing well but its the numbers game. About 100000000000 Android phones to just now 3 iPhones. Yet the iOS is the more superior OS. Fact.

      Even the 3GS beats all other smartphones in terms of user experience. Fact! There is however an iPhone Killer. The iPhone 4 :)

        Anonymous, 21 Jun 2010It still doesn't explain how a phone that hadn't been relea... moreHow a Nokia 5MP beat another 8MP phone?

        This is what you wrote:

        "The sensor Apple uses is the best you can get a balance between megapixels and pixel size.

        Megapixels mean nothing it's the size of the sensor that counts.

        Larger pixels = can absorb more light = better photo's.

        Apple knows this spec sheet hoes don't"

        Well the i guess that makes you a hoe then? I just love the way you karatekick yourself in the face in ever other comment, it's like you have issues with yourself or have the memory of a goldfish.

        LOL..!! keep going.. i like. :)

          That list is so pathetic, use an iPhone first and then tell me if the second rate Android or Symbian matches the user experience!

          Who cares if you have different formats, if the phone frustrates its not that good! The iPhone only frustrates knit pickers! Not the majority :)

          Millions of happy iPhone users, iphone 4 expecting to be a major hit. I rest my case.

            And, those Nokia phones have good sensors and pixels as well. That's why the shots came out with such little noise in the images. Guess what else? The N8 has the biggest sensor and pixel size available. Cheers!

              Either TIPA are a bunch of useless fools who don't know their jobs or Nokia bought the awards.

                You have absolutley no idea what you're talking do you? :)))

                  iPhone: mp3, mp4, youtube

                  Android, symbian: every single format on the web without wasting tome on conversions or needing special software to copy from pc to phone.

                  Also there's still no desktop, no widgets and no live content! boooring!!!!

                  And yes, the build quality seems to blow yet again:

                    It's why iPhones even with 2 or 3 megapixel camera's have been the most popular camera's on sites like Flickr.

So just keep quiet if can't come up with anything better tha Nokia brought the awards. Do you even know what TIPA is? Or maybe you think people can by Nobel Prize ans Pulitzer as well?

                      TIPA do ten times more in depths optical and technical testing on products- They don't need for stuff to be officially released all the time. They have access to products and products before they are released for testing.

                      Out of four phones you found on that TIPA hade before it was released, woohoo, come up with somthing better as Iphone 4G is not also yet released and yet you think it's the best camera in the world, do you like kicking yourself in the face when you talk or do just love arguing against yourself?

                      People worldwide that has the slightest interest in photography rely on TIPA to give them good excellent on products. TIPA don't just go out with pre-release unit and take some snaphots on the balcony like Mobile review sites do. They do extensive testing all conditions and lighning, then they take apart the camera module and do optic testing.

                      Not only is the IPhone 4 camera something other media phones had 3 years ago, still the sadest thing is that in all the advanced processing technology 2010, Aplles camares it still not better than the 5MP mobiles of 2007.

                      It's very easy to see when someone has been told and put in their place, your comment was the posterchild of that fact.

                              Lol, I remember the iBoys hyping up this camera, now that the proof is in the pudding, it's about experiences again. The only defense they can fall back on. heh.

                                Who cares if Nokia and Samsung will have a better camera? Thats about the only thing Nokia and Samsung can hang onto to that out does the iPhone. The iPhone is better than any Samsung or Nokia. Forget about the hardware, the overall user experience blows these 2 away :)

                                    Most of us will take pics from inside a room, office, restaurant, bar, etc., not on an wide open field. A sample of those would be more useful. Even mediocre cameras will look good under excellent lighting conditions.
