Everyone is making such a big deal over Apple's new iPhone. Now don't get me wrong, it's nice.....real nice, but not nice enough to win me over from Nokia.
I am a mac user and love Apple, so let me get that point out first. If I would have had an Apple phone first, than I wouldn't be writing this post. One of my biggest complaints with my Nokia phone has been that there is no mac support. I've dealt with it though and that's the only reason I use my regular pc for. I saw the iPhone and was really amazed at what it could do. In just the past week, I have been on Ebay, looking for an 80 GB iPod. So I was pretty curious about it when the news came out. Before viewing the keynote, my thoughts were, "finally I can have a phone that will sync with my mac". I read the reviews and looked at the demo several times and was almost caught up. Then reality hit me.....Do I really want this phone over the N95? I don't think so! The N95 is what I have been waiting for.
Secondly, I'm with T-Mobile and refuse to switch to Cingular just to get a phone. My experience with Cingular was not that pleasant. I've already read where so many S60 users are preparing to jump ship and get the iPhone. Right now, that seems to be the biggest debate in the forums, The N95 or the iPhone?
Well I'm staying put and can't wait to get my N95 (even though, I haven't heard much about it this past week). And the N800 looks really interesting to me as well. I guess I will have to get my hands on that as well. The iPhone is a VERY nice phone and if possible (if there ever is an unlocked version), I will have one along side my N95 and N93 (hopefully N93i soon). I am not taking anything away from it. It's just not enough though to win me from the N95. I just hope that one day I will be able to use my Nokia phone fully with my mac.
Again, what's all the hooplah about???
I check your blog every day . . . I'm looking forward to that one day in mid June when there's an entry that reads, ‘I bought an iPhone!!’
Honestly, I dearly want an N95 too, but the iPhone is in another class. The one thing that might decide it for me is the camera, will it do video?
