Prizefight: Apple iPhone vs. Nokia N95



The winner is…




Total points
Apple iPhone: 59
Nokia N95: 56


Winner: Apple iPhone!



This was a closer fight then we expected. Even with all the hype that came with it, the Apple iPhone barely beat the powerful Nokia N95. They each won a couple of rounds--and there was even a draw. But ultimately, the iPhone's lead in the design and multimedia performance rounds gave it the extra points it needed to trump the N95's superior features and call quality. Both phones succeed in different areas, but in this case, the iPhone took the prize.

Check out the individual reviews to find out more about the two phones.

I actually agree with the judges call on this, having owned N95 8GB before having the iphone now for a month. Both are good handsets but iphone just is a little better even its not 3G. It just works well enough. A N95 is like having a alienware gaming laptop but all you do is to use word on it all the time. How much of its functions you actually use. So not having 3G loses nothing on the experience. The maps works, the stocks works the safari works. I also suspect that some people who does not like iphone do not have the full experience of it, may it be they have a hacked model or on a expensive network that does not fully support all its functions because its not officially launched in that country??? Alas it has an ipod in it.

Actually there's a very comprehensive Viewty and Secret blog, at viewty-resource.blogspot.com

There are several tips on optimizing the screen resolution for the viewty screen, as well as some other application downloads and game downloads as well. In fact, when I first received my viewty, I wasn't able to connect to Google Maps. A visit to the blog got it up and running.
For the phone manual download, try www.lostmymanual.org which is another free site that lists all the user guides and manuals of all phone models you can possibly conceive. Impressive, I must say.

I would prefer N95, cuz of the amazing camera vs the mediocre one and lots more features and 3G support

I'm no fanboy of Apple or nokia. N95 is quite a different phone from the touchscreen iPhone. iPhone should be pitted against those from HTC or Omnia. And to some of the responses, I'm pretty sure for those 'non-iPhones', their "maps, stocks and browser" work too. And there's no need to hack those phones. To some people, the phone is their essential PDA, PIM, workhorse, whatever, and yes they need their alienware.
