Nokia vs. iPhone - The Real Problem

Bosxs — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:34:59 +0000

I really, truly hate mentioning the iPhone on this blog. I hate that I’m now just like everyone else talking about the iPhone. However, I also hate that I’m the only one (that I’ve read) that sees the true effects of the iPhone on the mobile phone industry.

Let’s get something straight right now. There is *NOTHING* revolutionary about the iPhone. At best, it’s evolutionary, and only because of the touch interface. However, the features and capabilities are NOTHING NEW. If you can’t agree with that, then stop reading here.

Let’s compare, for instance, the iPhone with the Nokia N91, which first went on sale over a year ago (both in the US and abroad)…..

Both devices have 2MP cam with no flash/autofocus. Both have WiFi. Both have EDGE (at least in the US). Both are available in 2 capacities, 4GB and 8GB. Both can sync with iTunes (assuming you’re not stupid enough to purchase DRM’d tracks from Apple and are just ripping them from the real CD). Both can browse the full internet.

I will make a few concessions. The N91 is fugly and lacks GSM 850 (this was before Nokia stopped being retarded with tri-band GSM devices). But there are several other S60 devices that are sexier and have all the right fequencies. S60 lacks the touch-interface, but I don’t think that’s as big of a factor as others seem to. However, the iPhone cannot do MMS, and you can’t add your own apps to extend functionality. You also, apparently, cannot swap the battery or the SIM card. So there’s the recap of the two products. Overall, they’re pretty much the same.
Now let’s look at pricing. The iPhone is $499 and $599 with a 2-year contract from AT&T and (presumably) a special data plan. The N91 is currently $394.99 for the 8GB, with the 4GB being cheaper than that! And that doesn’t require a contract at all! So what’s the deal? What are the SIGNIFICANT differences? Why is the iPhone so hotly anticipated, and S60 devices struggling in the US?

Promotion. Apple has marketed the iPhone like no other. The ads that came out the other day are sexy, and simple. The last Nokia ad that I recall seeing (other than on YouTube) is some hill-billy sitting on his bed “jamming” out to the Dukes of Hazzard polyphonic ringtone on his 6102. Where’s the mention of the sexiness of S60 devices and their capabilities?

Place - Where can you buy the N91? Online, and (I think) through the 2 Flagship stores in the US. TWO. That’s it, for the whole United States. Pathetic. Where will you be able to get the iPhone? Through any of thousands of AT&T retail stores, and the Apple Stores. Yes, Apple has a TREMENDOUS retail network in the US, and they’re still able to keep that “classy” feel.

The Nokia N800 is better that one iPhone?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2007 15:26:21 +0000

It sees 10 justifications for this

1. Price: the N800 costs US$ 400 approximately, while iPhone cost between US$ 500 and US$ 600, as the model

2. Operational system (SO) of open code: the N800 brings Linux as SO, while the competitor of the Apple brings the one X, that is proprietor.

3. Applicatory of third: As what it was said above, iPhone will not allow that you it installs softwares not authorized for the Apple, in contrast of the N800, that will liberate such procedure

4. The N800 does not demand contract with definitive operators: in contrast of iPhone, that it only can be bought if you will be (or to want) to be customer of the Cingular

5. Storage: The N800 brings slot for cards SD, miniSD, microSD, MMC and RS-MMC, allowing to extend its memory in until 4GB. Already iPhone has a closed HD, that it does not allow expansibilidade.

6. Audio ampler video and support: The N800 is capable to read the most varied formats of audio and video. iPhone is only compatible with MP3, AAC and MPEG4

7. It is not a cellular telephone: according to blog, the N800 is not only one mobile telephone and yes a minicomputer, that you can leave in house when she will want. Already iPhone was conceived as a cellular one and that it will be always with you to bother it and to the others. (this point is relatively arguable)

8. Compatibility with VoIP system: beyond the possibility to install others softwares, the N800 supports Skype, Google Talk, Gizmo, among others.

9. The N800 brings webcam: with this resource it is possible that the user carries through videoconferências. iPhone does not offer this functionality

10. Already this for sale one: you can find the N800 in specialized store or saw Internet. Already iPhone, only in authorized store of the Cingular or.

The N800 brings slot for cards SD, miniSD, microSD, MMC and RS-MMC, allowing to extend its memory in until 4GB. Already iPhone has a closed HD, that it does not allow expansibilidade. 6.

After the cited reasons, you it finds that the N800 can for cellular of the Apple pra eat dust? Or iPhone goes to justify the fame of innovator of the company of Steve Jobs? It gives its opinion!

Photo comparison: Nokia N75 vs N76

admin — Mon, 14 May 2007 23:32:29 +0000

In case you’ve been wondering which Nokia clamshell device is right for you, Nokia N75 or N76, the following photos (found thanks to Darla Mack) may be somewhat helpful. Both Nokia N75 and N76 are powerful smartphones (”multimedia computers”) and run Symbian OS with S60 UI on top of it. Furthermore, both devices have very similar specs, with the only difference being in the size. RAZR fans will most probably go for the N76, but then again N75 will also find its buyers.
