I need a new phone as my current one isn't going to last much longer. There are two different types of phone I have my eyes one the Nokia N97 [video=youtube;2O2Li74EYew]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O2Li74EYew"[/video] and then there is the Iphone 3gs [video=youtube;AcigqYci7Ss]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcigqYci7Ss"[/video] I use my phone alot for internet and messages, music and calls. does anyone have either or could give me advice on which is better to buy?
If you text alot, I'll get a Nokia N97... Must easier to type... Other than that... there are really no differences
The new 3Gs has a rotating onscreen keyboard. That makes it worlds easier to type than the old ones. As much as I hate to admit it, the iPhone is probably the best phone on the market right now. Try to stay away from AT&T.
Was there not some problem with power consumption? People's phones weren't lasting as long as they were suppose to be. I know they fixed it with a firmware update but still, thats quite a fuck up.
hmmm... i guess n97 would be easier for typing. thou i haven't played on the iphone 3gs my friend has the old iphone 3g and i like that thou found it hard to type with. but it does look like n97is winning.
That's debatable. The NokiaE71 is a bit harder for people with huge thumbs to type with considering how tight the keys are.
I would normally prefer the n97 but after using the 3gs for a while it seems ok but I really hate the syncing on the iPhone so I cant use it as a hard drive >.<"!
Hi there both has its draw backs what you use it for? i have the Nokia N97 in White and also the new 3gs i heard N97 is the last Nseries they will make. tell me what you want your phone for and i will explain in detail for you. -mellow
i would go for the one with the best looks so i would personally choose the nokia N97 but it also depends on what your gonna use it for..
I would choose the iPhone and here is why: - The appstore. This baby really knocks the n97 out, the appstore is a whole lot more developed meaning a lot of big companies and home and kitchen programmers are pushing their apps/games out for free and as low as 70 cents. I have seen the "appstore copy"from nokia and it really doesn't impress me. Of course the appstore from apple has been around for a while so the nokia one have to catch up but thus far the apps on it sucks and it doesn't look like it will change in the comming year. - The touch-screen. The n97 uses a touch-screen like the one the nintendo DS has, you really have to push on the screen in order to select something. I prefer the sensitive iPhone touch-screen. - Browser. Here they both have their advantage, the iPhone has the handy two finger panning for zooming in and out but the nokia has a build in flash support. It really doesn't bother me when I use the iPhone tough, I view youtube using the youtube app. - Battery life. Ok I have compared mine to the n97 my buddy has. Basicly they both sucks a lot of juice when you are going to play with your phone all day long. But hey its a smartPHONE and when you do other things then calling it WILL suck up a lot of battery, the phones have become like a mini-laptop or pda .. so what do you expect? - Camera. N97 wins hands down 5mp cam > the iPhone shitty cam - Resolition. N97 wins again. Conclusion: If you are a techie, go for the n97 since from a technology point of view the n97 beats the iPhone. But from user experience and casual use, the iPhone will offer a lot more usability and fun. Just my 2 cents.
thanks for the techie info about the phone. I realy use my phone alot, texting, internet and stuff and pictures evn thou i have a refectly good lumix. I do like the fact that the n97 has 32gb but I also have an ipod touch so i use that for music. makes things harder i guess. am aways scared i brake the iphone seems so fragile.
ummm that may be true. im using Samsung S8000 (Jet) and it has touchscreen keyboard. It took me a while to get accustom to it. Before i often mistype letters but my friend who used it before types on it quicker and more accurate than i do cos she has longer nails than me >.<
I'm using a Iphone right now and I like it but I can't really update cux i unlocked it. My ex has n97 and it's pretty nice but I would like to trade in my iphone for sony ericcson's satio that comes out in october.
I personally used an iphone. It's a great phone, but in the U.S., the cell phone provider, At&T sucks. When my contract's over, I would switch to something else. My personal issue is just the provider. The services suck!
I actually prefer the N97, personally out of the two, but i've always hated the Iphone. N97 still better, a real solid qwerty keyboard is a big deal for me
I guess you should also look at the price of the N97. This is where I bought my E71 its a good site but the N97 costs ALOT. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...205167&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-75-205-167-_-Product Read the reviews, always informative.
