If the N80 is anything to go by the N95 will be awesome. The battery life is great (although the wifi function does kill it but what do you expect I mean some laptops only run for an hour or so using wifi). It also has great functionality, I currently use the tom tom software installed on the symbian OS and connecting to a Bluetooth GPS and its flawless. (And believe me i'm well travelled so it gets some use. Europe. Asia, USA). Until the kinks are ironed out of the iphone this will be my choice any day.

Granted no GPS and not as high of resolution camera, but personally I think the other advantages (price, dimensions, interface, features) outweigh these facts. The iPhone has both maps and a camera.

Or at least, they have a Mac keyboard hooked up to something else. More likely a Dell flat panel hooked up to a Mac, as there is OS X running on the panel. But the interface for the phone just looks awful. Everything done through a "d-pad"? Yuck. If I had money and the desire for a phone, I'd buy an iPhone because the interface really is revolutionary compared to this demo. Certainly the Nokia has more features, like the camera, and that'd be nice to have on an iPhone. We'll probably see an iPhone model that does have a camera someday. Also with GPS. Never buy a 1.0 Apple product, they say. Those that do, though, will pay for the better Apple iPhones that will appear in the next generation. Which I won't buy either because I don't want a cellphone (Won't someone think of the Bees!?!?) and I don't have money to get one even if I wanted one. Certainly couldn't pay for connectivity. Just one Social Security recipient's views. Maybe Apple can work out a deal with Medicare? It looks like the computer in front of whoever is demoing the phone is a Mac.

Either via USB or Bluetooth. I'm compiling the resources for anyone who wants to know how difficult / easy it is to get your data syncing between computer and handset.

But this N95 has a GPS, maps and a camera/videocamera. Those a re pretty awesome features that lack on the iPhone. I'm torn, but I'll probably pick iPhone for it's compatibility with my Mac at home. And the touch-screen. But I'll rant often about the lack of a camera. I agree that the iPhone just seems like a lot more fun and also seems more intuitive.

The N95 looks like a great phone, but price-wise, unless the iPhone's reception suck @ss, there isn't enough bang for your buck. The full touch screen keyboard, the iPod interface (w/ Coverflow), larger screen for browsing, simplicity in creating emails. the list goes on. I know it's not out yet, and like I said, no one knows how apple's first run out in Cellular territory will be in the most important feature, call clarity, will be, but for that price you should never_ever_drop a call. This Phone's bells and whistles look more like pops and fizzes compared to what we've seen with the iPhone. For the $750, I’ll take the iPhone, even just from the January demo.
