yes nice intro but comparing this devices is pointless i mean the iphone is just terrible as a phone the only good features are ui the screen and the processor all this you can find in ipod touch besides nokia are going to release a phone with multitouch based on symbian by next year but if you cant wait the best thing to do would be ipod touch 16gb + nokia n95 8gb

Looking forward to a friendly fight between N95 and iPhone!
by the way you should consider changing your blog's name from SiMO to PhoMo (Phones in Motion), just kidding! :)

Very nicely written as always, Zach. I look forward to reading more about it. I'm truly looking forward to the SDK release in Feb.

Keep up the good work buddy!

Hey Zach! A great post. Though I haven't had the luxury of picking up an iPhone yet, I can well imagine what you mean with the Mercedes S-Class analogy. Nokia really needs to sort out their build-quality woes on a priority basis. As it is, I've grown sick of the chrome peeling issues on the N73!

Secondly, I'd really like it if you could add something as exquisite and revolutionary as the HTC Touch to the fray. I remember you did an excellent job comparing Active Standby with the Today Screen. Some real life shots would be a nice addition too. Keep up the good work!

Confused as to why you would choose to compare the iphone and the N95. They are two totally different phones that cater to two totally different sort of mobile phone users. It's like comparing apples and potatoes? As an example I am a fairly typical smartphone power user. I need to record video of cable runs to send to my engineers, take photos in low light levels, get about central London with a GPS system, install third party apps and download large files quickly to my phone. One of your phones is perfect for me and one is utterly useless. Someone who uses all the features of the N95 couldn't live with an iphone and someone who wants the features of an iphone doesn't need an N95.

I'm afraid you might not have finished the post Greg - you basically mimicked the sentiment in my last paragraph:

"This is merely a comparison between two very popular high-end mobile phones that people love to put next to each other and bicker about. While most will continue to argue over apples and oranges..."

For your purposes, I certainly wouldn't recommend the iPhone. The statement, "Someone who uses all the features of the N95 couldn’t live with an iphone" is far too broad though. I am certianly not your average mobile user and I would doubt that there's a capability that the N95 has that I haven't utilized. At the same time, I very much enjoy the iPhone in many respects. At this point, I wouldn't want to lose either handset...

Hahaha. I love your analogy of using the iphone being like taking a relaxing vacation. Then it's back to work I guess? Can't stay on vacation forever right? Can't wait to read the rest of your comparison.
