i have the best of both worlds, an ipod touch and a proper Nokia phone for doing all the phone stuff;)

I also won a new ipod nano yesterday and found it easy to sync it with the same pc and now have an ipod for the car too. i'm happy.

After seeing the iPhone on the gadget show though, gald i went for the touch now and not the phone as the touch seems to have all the best features and none of the hassle of the phone.

iPhone - Great Design, No Features.


yep agreed, it is a good design but unfortunately it does .... Well not much really and everything it does do my n95 does better, just wasn't the phone for me unfortunately. Hopefully they bring a more feature packed version out in the not too distant future

That's not the best of both worlds, it is both worlds.

The best of both worlds would be something that is a combination of the best parts of two things - like the music features from the iPod touch and the phone features from a mobile phone. ;)

I had a little play with a iphone today, nice bit of kit. Although i don't like the plastic bit on the back cover iirc the ipod touch is all metal.

I would like one if they were not so daftly priced with shitty contracts.

As a result I will be sticking with my XDA Exec until they get an iPhone out with the features I need at a more reasonable cost with better contracts.

I actually want one I just dont want to lose certain features I am used to having an use often.

There are a few of things I envy on the iphone regarding my N95.

One is the internet is quicker, I'm assuming that's down to RAM and how quickly the page is processed.

Another if the funky scrolling and zooming, but that's just a gimmick I'd get bored with tbh.

And lastly the fact that youtube is so good on it. Its brilliant and very quick.

Other than that, I prefer GPS (and yes its good GPS dont believe anyone who says its s**t), I prefer a decent phone camera, i prefer a flash for my camera, i prefer 3g, i prefer stereo sound, i prefer 30fps videos, i prefer MMS Support, i prefer speed dialing, i prefer TV out, etc etc

However receiving mms is easy. Sending not so easy.

My Phone:

Proper internet? Yup
Proper Email? Yup
Decent Camera? Yup
Google maps? Yup
Wifi? Yup?
Touch Screen? Yup
Navigation? Yup
Decent input device? Yup

But its not an iphone and its not costing me £1000.

PS N95 Gps is rubbish compared to a decent sirfIII BT GPS.
iPhone as good as it may seem, is simply a gimmick with phone functionality. Come February when the SDK is out and apps are developed then things will change. (Unless other people move the game on cough Nov 15 cough)

I bought my iPhone on Friday night and after a crap 3 days awaiting o2/Apple fixing 'iTunes Store is Busy' problems I finally got it activated today.

So far I love it, will have a better look at it when I get home from work and sync it with my iMac.

Hah, Apple just can't do the heat thing. My MBP used to COOK me. :(

Then again, it wasn't 4 foot thick with fans the size of a windfarm on it either. ;)

Swings and roundabouts, you make it thinner then you have to accept that there is less thermal mass to help cool it.

damn your making me want one now, might just wait til the end of the month and go to france!

Wonder what Iphone2 will be like, 3G would be a huge requirement for me and also push email.
 
  Rav4
yer, IMAP, true. but does not work properly according to some forums, not too sure, cannot comment as I don't have one.

3G, of course it's good, quicker than Edge, would make a huge difference in speed performance.

Such a handy phone, really enjoyed using it on Saturday at the mac store.

It's just that long contract :s

The unlock is nearly ready for the uk iPhone so you are better buying one of those in a week or two rather than the French handset which is rumoured to cost a lot more for the unlocked version.

Heh, what are you going to do when the software needs updating or the phone breaks though? You really think Apple will update/fix it after you have illegally unlocked it ;)

I work at O2 and our staff discount was upto £70 off of the handset but still paying the full tariff price, and for what is a essentially a sh*t phone but a damn cool ipod...
I'll wait for the Sony Ericsson W960 thankyou please http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w960-2008.php

Indeed. Esp with the phone features that are unique, ie:

Visual voicemail
SMS conversations
Ambient light sensor (auto screen brightness)
Proximity sensor (screen goes off when you move it near your ear)

Despite Edge being slower than 3G, the faster UI of the phone means you can do stuff like plot a route in Google maps faster than an N95. ;)
