Why can't you accept that iPhone 4 is not a perfect choise for everyone? Apps make a smartphone for you, not for me.

We have the top maker of mobile phones again offering last year's specifications in what looks like a New Old Soap design!
The resolution is same as Nokia 5800 xpress but the width is pretty much more!
I wonder from where are these chaps getting their parts from? So big and antiquated!!
Cant they for one moment check what the Japanese are doing?
Customers don't mind a great copy in terms of design, if that is ranking with the best!
Nokia And Sony ericsson deserve to lose their positions very soon.
European designs are famed in everything else but now seriously biting the dust in this segment.. How long should we customers keep paying for the increased inefficiencies of these companies?
Added to that our friends are giving it more than 6 on all scales..
Well, I am now switching over to the smartest ones rather than choke cos of loyalty!

I'll be honest with you, I have flash disabled 95% of the time on my N8, cos most of the time the flash ads only slow it down, but there are times when I need to enable it, and in those times I won't have to curse Jobs for making the decision for me.

[deleted post]Bluetooth file transfer is intentionally disabled on iph to attract more apps developers since piracy is hard on iph.
n8 capabilities is constant as it is based on hardware. iph abilities are unlimited as it based on apps. can u read comic book n8? can u play fifa2011 on n8? can u listen as much radio stations as iph? can u play monkey island and sonic4 on n8? can u rent tv shows on n8? can u use windows remote desktop on n8? can u read as many newspaper as iph on n8? I know u can shoot better photos but who cares when we use mobile photos on social sites. Can u have genius playlist on n8? can u have pes2011 on n8? can u even multitouch map? can u use parrot drone (real flight control) on n8? Parrot drone is wireless flying replica can be controlled by iphone

Anonymous, 09 Oct 2010little secret about n8 is that it uses same CPU and GPU as ... moreIm pretty sure the N97 didnt even have a GPU. I'm perfectly clear of what the N8 has and it runs the device and Symbian^3 beautifully. I've owned the device over a week now, I'm pretty sure I know more about it than you, thank you.
You can tell yourself that all it has over the iPhone is the camera, but your fooling yourself.

However, that's not the only one. I have decided myself that I won't buy any phone nowadays if it doesnt have USB OnTheGo. Stuff like accessing memory are all so basic things, but cos Jobs said you are not allowed to do it, you won't do it.. I don't want that from my phone

It's a great device in few areas, but in overall balance and capability it can't really match the N8. But the thigns you can do on iPhone 4, it does them REALLY well.
But as said, the people who are here most likely don't even consider iPhone cos they are not satisfied with it's overall capabilities, thus they look for something that can provide em, thus they do not want to read about the iPhone 4 here.
If we wanna discuss the iPhone 4, I promise that we'll come to it's page.

The disadvantages of n8 are the softwares support but ovi store is growing fast affter nokia qt sdk, hardware of n8 is complete and excellent which you can change with softwaaare update
no matter how good iphone ui and software is , you xcant change the iphone hardware, it is a shame,
apple now have advantge like app store, the apps in there are not that impressive,but the games are,
the apps there are fart apps, good ones are thegoogle earth, and tomtom, , dont forget ovi maps is the best satnav app
games iphone win hands down, but ovi store is growing,
thank to rovio for ring angry birds to ovi store, bounce battle and ovi maps challenge,
let us go to contact iphone games develpers to ask for symbian version of games, because nokiausers are mpore than iphone users and android users combined

AMANITA, 09 Oct 2010What abt this ? - Main disadvantages of iPhone 4 - Hardwa... moreit has true multitasking. It just pause game when u go other apps. Who want to run games when going to other apps? 16gb is more than enough for storage. FM radio?? Iphone comes with data plan which is unlimited to listen radio. ipod never has radio as no one wants radio quality music. One of the reasons ppl buy idevices is because of itunes. It helps organising and its close nature attracts developers to create apps. No mp3 player outsold ipod yet and no single model high end smartphone outsold iphone. Blackberry slides its share after iph4 launch. So are htcs. Symbian well it is even a common os in western world for high end smartphone. Symbian smartphone share from low end phones
