Mmmmmmm me want

Nokia N97

[jj]

We are lucky in the UK all phones are subsidised by the network operaters.  Some of the more expensive ones like the N95 initally had to have high tarrifs, but that doesnt last long.

The only phone i know that doesnt is the Iphone, but its not a phone I would want anyway.

@ bloodline

I kinda like the idea of the slide out keyboard.  The decent camera, and as you said the video.

As much as you are an IPhone fan, you might have guessed from this and previous conversations we have had, i am a Nokia fan.

In my opnion there is nothing an Iphone can do or has that I want or need.  That might chance when they catch up to the rest of the smartphone market.

Not sure if that will happen though, the Iphones market share is laughable compared to most.

If nokia thought a handset would only sell as many as the Iphone has I doubt they would bother to make it.

Price fixing ahoy, its the apple way.  I hate the way they decided would only use one phone operater also.  Though again hopefully this will change.

This was another major reason not t o get one.  Beeen with my operator for years and after using all the other networks I dont want to change.

@ boodline, so you can get the iphone free now ?

What got me about the Iphone was they released a 3G version to much fanfare. God what complete idiot didnt think people would want 3G in the first place.  I have had a 3G phone for 5 years.  I live in Wales, hardly the most upcoming place in the world. I live in a small mining village and we have got 3.5G.

All I am saying is Iphones now have 3G.  Next will be a new must by version which actually has a decent camerea and does video.   Seen it all before will apple.  Its just a way to make people keep buying new hardware, hardware thats all ready way out of date.

I mean the Ipod is not the best MP3 player and never has been.  Style over content.  The interface until recently was liscenced off creative, which incidently do make the best Mp3 players

[jj]

I only wanted to show people the new N97, didnt think it would start this rabid fanboi and hater convo.

I neither love or hate Apple.  I do not stick top one brand for anything.

I do my research on products and buy what I feel bvest suits my needs based on research.

Its why I own and xbox 360, a sony tell, a creative mp3 player, a nokia phone, a PC and lots of amiga bits.

Plus lots of sega and nintendo retor consoles.  God even bouight a PS2 not so long ago.  Though wont be buying a PS3.

For all peoples microsoft hating the 360 is by the best console experience ever, and the online stuff is just right, especially since dashboard update

[jj]

Interesting

And factually wrong.  The N95 has an accerlated 3D gpu  :-)

[jj]

Could have bought one.  But the media centre capabilties and intergrations with PCs and media centres wastes the ps3.

The online functionality is much better than ps3.

The gamebase for the 360 is much better.  

Blue-ray player, no need for one until blue ray dics come down in price.

Much rather have a 360 and buy a cheap blue ray drive for my pc.

I wouldnt be surprised if microsoft released a blueray player for the 360

[jj]

Yes you have to play to play online games not for everything else.

xbox360 outselling ps3 in japan of all places at the moment.

I would be surprised if sony win this console war in the shortterm. They are still making ps2 games so alot os people not switching.

Anyway you prefer the ps3 i prefer 360. all personel choices.  neither of us is wwrong or right.

[jj]

You can only run one app at a time on the Iphone ?

Really, honestly.

So you cant for instance, be playing a game with the sound off, listening to your mp3s and switch to a browswer and then switch back to the game.

If not thats seriously rubbish and limiting.
