The announcement of Apple's new iPhone was heralded with the massive levels of hype that have often accompanied new product announcements from Apple. The iPhone extravaganza was bigger than most and quickly followed by countless articles in the press, most of them glowing over the ?tiny wonder?. In fact, most of these articles were little more than a rehashing of Apple's own press releases.
Now that we've had bit of time to look behind the smoke and mirrors, we believe the iPhone will nether be as revolutionary nor as useful as Apple would want us to believe.
As a Symbian S60 3rd (aka: S60) edition user I started wondering how this thing really would stack up against the likes of the soon-to-be released Nokia N95 and N93i or even the currently available N91 8 GB or 4 GB and N93. I read an article over at www.symbian-freak.com comparing the iPhone to Nokia?s offerings that really got me thinking. I came to the conclusion that Apple?s iPhone is their attempt at putting together a phone, with some rather dated specs (and in many cases even missing a few key features) in what is little more than a nice and shiny package.
Coming from something like a Motorola RAZR it might look impressive, but owners of for example the now out-of-date N70 will not find much to talk, users of current handsets like the N73 and N93 will find this a joke. Most of these features have been standard for more than a year on the Nseries and since than they have moved on. I just don?t see what all the fuss is about, read on to find out why.
