        Iphone4 really? A device whose camera produces grainy pics lolz and with lots of issues? It is a device purely for status symbol but there are far better devices out there in the market. Sorry Apple but people buy iPhones for bragging rights not for its features.

The unfortunate things is, because IOS does not multi task like Symbian or Android does then it's not true multitasking, just a bunch of conformists. Iphone has the edge over other mobiles because Apple dare to do things differently.

                  I used nokia for years, I'd still have my n95 if the software weren't so crap. I hated iPhones until I caved in and got the 3GS. Now I can safely say I'll never use a nokia again. People are on about all these duel core phones making the iPhone obsolete , ur forgetting one thing; apple don't have to compete. I've never heard Steve jobs say that the new iPhone is a htc beater or a blackberry killer, bcos they don't have to say it. It might not be to everyones taste but I gaurantee people who use iPhones love them because they don't let you down. And to say that every device that gets released these days gets compared to the iPhone I think gives it the credit it deserves. All the people that hate iPhones have never owned one so stop whingin an give one a try - u might like it

                    The N8 is just fail....
                    Just that slow processor is fail by itself and symbian is really an unfriendly OS to everyone who hasn't used a smartphone before. Better yet it's unfriendly for people who haven't used Symbian before....
                    All the options are in wrong and stupid places and the UI looks retarded...and better yet it looks REALLY cheap.....

                    iOS looks alot better and as some people allready pointed out you can organize all your apps the way you want!! Just make some folders and it's alot faster and easier to use than all the other systems combined!

                        Not entirely true, most of apps freeze because they dont do anything at background, but apps what needs more function has them, like navigation, playing music, downloading/uploading files at background etc.

                            iphone has just 4 major drawbacks:

                            1. No Multitasking: iphone does not support real time multitasking. it just allows the user to freeze the apps.

                            2. No customization, too dependent on Itunes: compared to android, ios allows very little customization of the UI. also its too dependent on itunes unless u jailbreak.

                            3. No Bluetooth or flash: you cannot transfer data between two phones without internet connection.
                            also no flash means less interactive web experience. other than videos there are many features in websites

                            4. overpriced: iphone is way too overpriced for what it offers.


                            other than these all the features are almost perfect in iphone.

                              Come ed everyone this is just a award and its just a phone!

                              Me yes I have a Iphone 4 and to me its the best phone out there and I dont even consider any other phone anymore as the Iphone does what I need and more and is perfect etc.

                              1) I probably have 2 gripes and 2 gripes only. When texting emailing etc I sometimes press the return key which is annoying. But that may be me just texting or emailing fast and not taking care.

                              2) Also no biggy but I find it annoying playing games on the phone with the touchscreen buttons but same again this is what other touchscreens will be like anyway. I know this will never happen but maybe a slide down control pad could be better for me when playing games.

                              With regards to everything else I am more than happy with the operating system as fast and smooth as a babys bum no longer need to restart the phone after it keeps crashing or freezing like i have done in the past with other makes of phones!

                              One thing I dont understand why do people who prefer other models always seem to be wanting to slag the iphone off lol. We all know why as they want to knock it either cos they want the iphone and are unable to get it. Or to jusitfy somehow how there phone is better than the Iphone when deep down they know its not haha. Its like a school playgorund in here non apple phone users slagging it off but why we all know why lol just admit it guys lol.

                              If it wont the phone award just accept it I have its won it cos its the best all round phone and does everything better all round than any other phone.

                              Nokia N8 please do people even buy that phone its a mess bad operating system crashing bugs spend more time taking baettery out to restart the phone than using it!

                              Samsung Galaxy is ok I suppose but please again it looks like a babys plastic toy!

                              Only other phone I would consider but would never get is a HTC of some kind but same again will not need to as I am happy with the Iphone!

                                    So you say that microsoft approached nokia for help rather than the other way round ??? LOL....u made my day....thats so funny to hear that u live in a fools paradise.... FYI Nokia is just an OEM to Microsoft now, just like Samsung and HTC.....
                                    The biggest gainer from this is to Microsoft alone....


                                    "why microsoft kicked samsung htc and joined nokia"


                                    You probably have no idea what your talking.....Samsung and HtC are going to continue making WP7 phone. Now Nokia is JUST AN OEM to MS like samsung and HTC.


                                    "Eric Schmidt says Android's door still open for Nokia"


                                    Yes.....that means Google is ready to provide assistance to Nokia if they are falling behind or unable to keep up in the race.....
