Yes, but nokia at several spice on their os too.
1. Can you see FLV video beside from youtube? I'm a frequent visiter to symbian-freak, paultan.org and several web site that have video on the page with iphone you can't see the video.
2. Nokia browser can display web pages better, some web pages displayed incorrectly with iphone.

That's 2 things is more importantly than pinching your web site to zoom.

    P%nm, 23 Jun 2009So how many Nokia phones do you have to buy from different ... moreUnfortunately the foreign language input method in nokia phone is market depended. That's mean if you live in India you can have one that can write india character, if you live in singapore/hk/china/aspac you can have one that write chinese character and so on.... but if you need other language/character than the one you have in phone, the nokia center can change it for you (it's just a software upgrade), or when you buy it, you could ask them to change it. You could also change it yourself with Nokia Software Service (NSS) + Nokia Software Updater (NSU).

    the keypad to write these character is the same keypad as numerical keypad. no change.

    it's really unfortunate for nokia/motorola/lg/samsung and other about this.

    but i really wondering if your iphone can really write chinese character? My sister bought her iphone in USA and can't read/write chinese character. I'm really sure about this, because my family can read/write chinese, and this is one of the first things we always try when having a new phone.

        And if the person who post about legality in music really bought a legitimate DRM-ed material than he won't be woried at all about it. Unless he has un-legitimate material, but trying to looks clean.

                LoL, 1 million copies of this phone has sold in 3 days.

                OMNIA HD is tearing this phone up, and it's sales number are less, less more, and it costs the same.

                Its just shows, the most of the people are completly ass holes, and drived only by this phone fame, and not the real aspects wich make phones better.

                    A lot of stores sold out and there were hundreds of thousands of preorders.

                    The iPhone 3Gs has only launched in 8 countries so far there are still 66 more to go over the next two months.

                    In spite of all the detractors, Apple has proved once again that there is no other phone like it.

Iphone 3G sold millions.. yes, you can say it was mass hysteria, like contagius disease. Supposed if nokia only have 1 phone that people liked, and then they released the 2nd phone, I'm sure it would be pretty crowded because the owner of previous phone would also told all their friend how good it is and they all start buying it.. But look at 3GS sales, that mass hysteria wasn't happening anymore. you just can't compare the company who produced just 3 items with nokia, samsung, or even blackberry. if apple has produced more than 100 items you can speak to me. in the meantime just play with your toy. yeahh apple is just a kid company and almost all their user are kids.. no matter how old they are. Lol. we don't look back of old success and talked about it all the times. I'm sure nokia have hundreds of that kind of success in the past, but they just keep marching forward.

                        You are aware that the S60 web browser is based on WebKit which was developed by Apple.

                        The iPhone OS 3.0 update also included improvements to Safari.

                        Can you open a link in a new tab like you can on the iPhone?

                          Then you'd have to memorize which key goes with which symbol as their isn't enough room to print them on the keys.

                          Face it the iPhone is simply a far better smartphone than any Nokia, selling a million in the first three days proves that.

                          BT file transfer is a pain I used to transfer whole movies to a work colleague the way Nokia handles it as a message going to the inbox is such a bad idea, especially when the phone memory fills up.

                          Where is the Visual Voicemail on Nokia's?

                          This is such a great function I use it every day on my iPhone it's such a great time saver.

                                It's a fact.


                                "Nokia does not even have their own OS, so how can Nokia be above Palm, Apple and BB? You are an unreasonable person. People like you have low IQ =)"

                                Nokia have 100% of symbian foundation.
                                It used to only have 30%-40%, but nokia manage to buy all the share
                                and then make the os on the symbian foundation and open source it.

                                IT's you the one that wrong.... or may I say you just trying to iFUD me.

Off course he defended his own self image and his intelligent choice (he thinks..) of buying iphone so any threat to apple will hurt his inner self and he'll defend fiercly.. you see, there's no point telling him that BT is important. you hurt his feeling and all your explanation just put salt on his wound. let him play with his iphone.. okay? and also for the rest of isheep.. just let them alone eating grass peacefully on apple backyard, can you do that?

I've been accepting email since the Nokia 3650 day. I'm one of the early adopter of Nokia 3650 the first S60 edition.

                                      For the dumb device such as S30 it can't receive e-mail until now (the ovi mail), but some semi dumb such as S40 have the ability to receive mail.

                                      It just funny when you said you can mail the pic, etc, but can't bluetooth. Is the person sending with email doing less piracy than the one send with bluetooth?

                                      This like, when you bringing pizza to my house, you can't share with me, but you must call fedex, give them the pizza, then they deliver to me, just to avoid piracy...
