> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-06-20 16:21 from uExuYa it is ready bad for not having MMS.

"Only until now, Apple add in support of MMS in version 3.0 (I know some will said can jailbreak and add on the third party MMS support, not all people knew and use jailbreak)

Actually the version 3.0 is the only version that made iPhone a complete handset which add on which previously don't have features but it is so common in normal phone by others manufacture."

Good Point, actually the version 3.0 the MMS doesn't work for iPhone 2G, only for 3G model.

    No but I can show you a $2 keyring that has three LED's and does a better job of lighting up a scene than most camera phones.

    Now, show me one Nokia phone that has a touch to focus camera...

    ...and any phone at all that has visual voicemail.

I would gladly bow to you and said none. But instead you chose to put "much, much more" stuff that's of-cos I ask which phone has that "much, much more"? It is fair to say that? I m not blind to what's happening, If you read all my posts only blasting at those with baseless comments. and you at that time with that "much much more" comment was quite baseless don't you think?
      as for now, answer to your questions, No iphone yet have multi-tasking capabilities and no LED/Flash video/photography too. As for video recording, I do believe the current 3.0 update does have it, and the gps turn by turn thing is only available for the 3GS model.
      So does that answer your question?

        Did you know that this is a public forum and your IP is tracked and it is not particularly wise to discuss "free" music which may or may not be subject to copyright theft.

        Yes, I know, I know, I admit I buy everything from iTunes, what a sucker I must be ;p.

                  Why is everyone saying that it's a good thing that Iphone is locked to Itunes? For me, it's a con. I don't want to donate $$$ to Steve Job's new life!!!

                  People should have a choise what they want to do with their money, not depending on how much music they download. Luckily Iphone is the only locked phone this way, as FREE music is rather simple to DL to other MUSIC phones.

                      N95.. original
                      N82.. Xenon
                      N95 8GB, obiously the 8GB and Larger Screen
                      N96 built in 16GB and DVBH and Navi wheel (or supposed to be) FP2
                      N85 FM trans OLED
                      N86 - N85 but 8mp and built in 8GB

                      while it seems apple has done the same, just increaing GB and a better cam but you have to note that the N95 series is really old now and

                      with such a fast paced industry having 8GB and 16GB back than was a huge deal along with 5mp, but nowadays its nothing

                      this is why the N97 is confused as its specs are "OLD" for a company "Flagship"

                      the iphone however is not bound to any rule, they fit in into all the areas.. Businees, Kids, Teenagers.. etc the only prob is that in each area it lacks basics..

                      cause who would buy their kid a 600 dollar phone to play games on.. on top of that you have that exact phone to email and show off in office..

                      while every kid on the train has it..

                      both the N97 and iphone are confused devices.. N97 is tray be all "touch" and "Business" and "Facebook" which is what the iphone has been doing for 2 years

                      in the end it all depends on the user."

                      Actually, Nokia improved the N97 a lot hardware wise in different ways. It was the FIRST phone worldwide to have a 32GB internal memory, as well as the new FM Transmitter and Magnetometer. It was also the first phone with touch-screen in the Nseries.

                      Those who saw N95 8GB as a huge upgrade should be very satisfied with the N97. And indeed, many N97 owners are happy with the hardware they got. You need to try it before you can judge.

The only problem would be if your phone was LOCKED to a certain provider. Using another SIM would require you to unlock it, jailbreaking it in the process. Syncing your Iphone with Itunes after jailbreaking/unlocking will undo the unlock. IF you must unlock, put all your apps and music and stuff on ur iphone, AND THEN jailbreak and unlock it. Unlocked Iphone would still be better though.
