iPhone Decision
By andy | July 6, 2008
As a happy and content n95 user, with the new iPhone (3G) available from o2 on Friday (11th July 2008) there is a part of me that thinks I should be getting one. If not just to road test the iPhone, let’s be honest – they do look pretty smart.
I have a few reservations about the iPhone, and having seen a few people rant about the features of the first generation handset fills me with worry. The n95 works great for me, there are a couple of things I’d like to see in the n95 but I feel (feature wise) the n95 outweighs the iPhone (1st generation).
As for the new 3G iPhone, I am unsure – bluetooth data transfer is a big one for me. Also I download a few podcasts each week, directly to my n95 while I am on the go (over the 3G network), then listen to them right away. My PC never gets involved with podcasts, that’s the way it is and that’s the way I like it. Hopefully the 2nd generation iPhone will allow downloads of podcasts while on the move. I wonder if the iPhone has a barcode reader / QR Code scanner?
This next week will see a decision made, stick with my trusty friend – Nokia n95. Or jump and fall in love (or hate) Apple’s iPhone!
I’ll keep you posted.

I’m going to give the swap over a go too. I’ve been checking out possibilities since my renewal for my n95 is coming up and I think I’m going to go for the iPhone.
It’s slightly against my better judgement, but I’m going to hold onto my n95 and swap back if it truely is awful. The problem is that while the n95 doesn’t look the best it’s by far the best phone I’ve ever had. Does exactly what I want it to do the way I want it done.
But the iPhone is so gimmicky I can’t resist it.
