the 'i' letter is what apple tends to take very seriously as always.. i for innovation... yes.. i phone is innovative..
but as a consumer, i would like go for substance than hype, esp if the price is ridiculous.
i find n96 to be a complete multimedia device... a far better option than the iphone.
5 mp cam vs. 2 mp on iphone
24 gb expandable memory vs. 16 gb in built memory without any external slot
advanced utility tools like adding multimedia content from gallery in your message and send it as a MMS vs. iphone - NO SMS FORWARDING!
A2DP support vs. no support on iphone
also i have even heard the iphone has some serious network problems in other markets.
leave aside plethora of other apps and features available on new S60 F2 platform plus preloaded apps like wave that protects your phone and data.
top it all! speculated price of iphone between 31-38 k for both 2g and 3g models (ridiculous, making the whole country cry), while 28-35k.
the choice is simple.. even though i was planning to pocket a iphone, now i have to give it some serious thought.
what do you say folks, which one to go for?
