[deleted post]Also, I'd figure the best smartphone in the world would make it into the rankings of such a large worldwide site as this, GSMArena.

The "Rankings" button in the top of this page. Open it. Funny, there's not a single reference to Apple or iPhones. Could it be cos majority of this sites users do not find it the best phone? Also, check the iPhone 4s page, it doesnt really have the worlds best voting results, but that could be due to the "haters" you refer to.

It's pretty simple though. The iPhone, as most other Apple products are extremely media sexy. The iPhone 4 is very barely a smartphone when you compare it to it's competitors nowadays, but a common customer looking for a media sexy phone does not realize that. We could say that this sites users have abit above the common knowledge about smartphones, that's probably the reason Apple does not show up on those rankings.

Also, considering it's supposed to be the best smartphone in the world, how come iOS only holds 14% of the market in Q2 2010? So.. basically, iPhone has set no records, not profitwise, not quantity wise, but sure, I'll give you that it's maybe the most media sexy device, Apple knows how to do that.

    [deleted post]And the antenna thing isn't some myth. It's the harsh truth. They have obviously fixed it/worked around it in later batches that you most likely have, but just google "iphone 4 antenna" and you will see that this "myth" certainly isn't from 1 or 2 defected iPhones.

    It was a rookie mistake from Apple, and the fact that Steve Jobs knew about it beforehand but ignored the issue makes it even worse.

      [deleted post]Try to get it that your preferences are not world wide truths. You are saying that your opinion is a fact, you are trying to imply that the whole world wants/needs the same things as you do.

      There's so much stuff the iPhone doesn't have out of the box that most of its competitors have/will have. I for one have like zero interest in 3rd party apps or games. I value the cover design, real multitasking (no, the iphone does not have that), not being restricted to iTunes or generally speaking not allowed to browse the memory card on the phone, just generally speaking a phone that isn't 70-100% more expensive than it's competitors that have more features (might not be true everywhere, but here in Finland it is), ability to customize abit more freely than the iPhone allows you to, MANY things.

      The iPhone 4 is a very fine gadget, anyone who says its not is a fool. However, being a fine gadget and your favorite does not make it the world best.

      If people here wanted to know/discuss about iPhone, they would head to the iPhone page, here you will face nothing but people who dont care about the iphone, so why are you here?

              Haffi, 05 Sep 2010So i'v played wit d N900 n its awesome.read alot abt it n a... moreI've never used the N900, so take my words with a grain of salt.

              Right, so capability wise they seem about the same. N900 has been getting good words about it's OS and the internet browsing and all that. Many people, however, are bothered by it's size.

              So it depends if you are looking for a "mobile phone with smartphone capabilities" or "smartphone with mobile phone capabilities".

              Personally I rather have abit more smaller and nicer to carry with me, that still has very decent capabilities at browsing the web for example, instead of having the superb experience of a mobile device when it comes to that web browsing, but maybe even tiresome physical size.

                          23 in UK, 1 OCT other places,1 in USA, 25 OCT middle east , then in my hand will be like November 1st.....


                          so i will wait one more month for N9 with better CPU

                                      While it looks the same as previous Symbians, it's a whole new OS, basically. Havn't really heard any bad words about it (S^3) so far, only good. Naturally though it hasn't been officially released yet, but there are plenty of prototype reviews with unfinished software, and I can't point any much if any flaws from the videos about it.

                                        [deleted post]Without any further explanation you are nothing but trolling. I'd simply report you, but I thought maybe you should just explain yourself and you might make sense.

                                        There are people here who say Nokia is best and all that crap (while I maybe do agree, but it's an opinion at best), but that certainly doesn't make Nokia to suck big time.

                                        So either tell us why does Nokia suck or gtfo.
