http://www.phonesource-usa.com/cell-phone-356-cheap/Nokia-N95---In-Stock---w/-1GB-Card.php


Now it is $654.
It comes with screen protector,leather case & 1GB card.
Plus all the other accesories.
 
Exactly, although in my case I should be fine, as I don't swap SIMs, but actually have two different phone numbers on a family plan.

I'm also a heavy iPod and iTunes user, so the iPhone is a natural fit as compared to any Nokia device for media purposes (although Nokia Media Transfer Suite for Mac is really good, it's still not 100% integration).

If the U.S. AT&T iPhone experience is any indication of what is going to happen up here, it may be difficult to get a plan that can support both types of devices. Even now, Rogers has made things confusing, and it won't surprise me if an iPhone plan is required to use the iPhone, and does not provide other types of data, or vice-versa. The Rogers "Blackberry" plans are already a confusing mess in this regard for the uninitiated.

But really, half the reason I want to leave the E90 at home if I'm going out is to avoid working, both in terms of phone calls and e-mail/SMS, so a separate phone number is a good thing in these cases.
 
My E90 might just be the best phone i have ever owned couldnt be more happy with it. Only thing that could be better (pretty obvious) is the size, but like i have stated on some where else if you realy need its features you should get over the size. One of the nice suprises on it was how solid it did feel. Kinda happy that i had power to resist N95 hype (here in Finland that is)

That said i'm still trying to find phone that i could carry everywhere. Iphone is pretty much perfect for what i'm looking and i have to say that it just make me wonder why example Nokia havent made anything like that exept that wierd thing... 7700.

Waiting eagerly iphone or if i cant..... http://www.nokia6500series.com/ or the best thing Nokia would introduce Aeon and it even would be good!

Im sure its super user friendly, but the n95 did the same thing, i popped in my sim and my internet options were set and as for email all i had to do was type in my email address and my email provider and it did that too,They are both great devices and they are both great media devices, the n95 has a great music player and video player, also has amazing graphics for gamming, so its what suits your needs.Today was a good reason why i prefer the n95 over the iphone, im Mailman and it was pouring here in newyork, i had my n95 tucked under my rain coat and with my Voice dial and blue tooth headset i made and recieved calls, never ever having to take the phone out in the rain, the iphone would be useless to me in that situation. The iphone is an amazing device and has the media backing to also confirm and support it. The n95 is really only known here on hofo or from high end phone users, but i tell you this peopel are just as in awe when i take out my phone and do the things i do with it, I have the worldmate software and the woman tells me the weather at certain times during the day, without me ever having to touch the phone, i have my bible and scripture Qoutes on there, a dictionary, my radio, my office suite, my handy safe, scanr program which allows me to take pictures of documents then upload them to there website, as either a document , whiteboard or business card and then print them out, i can upload photos or videos straight from phone to flickr or voix, if it was for just web browsing or ui i would go for iphone, but if u truly want a full user experience in all facets of the game then n95 wins hands down.
 
The e90, and the n95 are very similar beast, e90 wins with better battery and ram, the n95 is better music playback, better cam ,& 3.5mm jack, both have same processor, i think n95 because of the 320x 240 is easier to convert things and get things for , its more standard, and im a blue collared worker e90 is great at a desk job, but n985 is alot user friendly to me out on the street or beat., but both amazing phones.
 
This thread has turned into an intense debating competition, even though N95 has been pitted against Iphone innumerable times, each and every spec of both the phones has been compared to its resistor size, this discussion will still probably never end until both the models become outdated.
 
It's already been concluded the typical Iphone user will have.
1. No knowledge of real smartphones/not looking for a smartphone
2. Require extremely intuitive UI with no learning curve.
3. Look for a stylish phone to make calls with and listen to songs.
4. RAZR crowd

This is why N95 is not aimed at this same crowd, because N95 can do 100 times more things than just make calls, and have a built-in Mp3 player and browse the internet.
 
You are right JerryNY, the thing is i was a casual user also, till i realized, what was out there, and ill give props to the iphone, it will open the eyes of many consumers that knew no better.
 
Well the thing with the iPhone is Apple isn't going to leave it with a static feature set. It will be much easier for a company like Apple to add apps and capabilities to do things they think customers will want than it will be for nokia to revamp its entire user experience. Apple has been in the mobile handset business for less than 3 weeks now and even if you dismiss it as all hype, which I think would be a mistake, they have managed to make their presence felt in an all new market in an unprecedented way.
 
I wonder how much (if any) of the "middle man" Apple gets to cut out of the update cycle.

Is it Apple releases an update direct to customers via iTunes, or will it be the usual "phone manufacturer releases update to carrier, who may or may not release it to the customer".
 
I posted a new thread but this seem appropriate for here as well:

www.christianlindholm.com

The Father of the S60 GUI comments on the iPhone's interface.
 
Well all things that have to do with the phone's OS go through Apple and iTunes is the conduit. If you want to check for software updates or do a restore it all comes off of Apple owned servers.
 
I see my post cause some anger among the n95 enthusiasts. LEt me clarify.

Although I liked the phone, all of what I said of the n95 is still true. Those that commented about my post really have no point of reference, becuase with no iphone in their hands, and onyl forum users to base their 'experience' on, they dont fit the bill of what this topic starter even asked. Buy an iphone, use it for a week and then come and see this topic. If not, do not talk to me about using an iphone 'theme', or how i needed to get the iphone on contract, because both are meanignless (no contract for me either). The phone is not just a pretty face, it is functional and intuitive. Who cares if it takes me '2 touches' to do the same thing that yuou have a shortcut for? I can remember how the rotating menu on the n95 would be slow and would be choppy for the first few seconds anyways, so who cares if it loads with one button tap. The iphone is so intuitive, and so much snappier and quick that I know that those who have complained about my post have not even used it. I can understand that some need the flexibility of symbian, which is fine, but do not tell me it is a better OS for the general people. Linux is a far more flexible platform then either windows or OSX, but you couldnt pay me to use it in place of OSX.


Iphones crash, but not often save for one or two peopel that find it neccesary to post it all over the forums. In fact, you show me a browser, mobile or not, that DOEST crash. I know 6 peopel with iphones, with the list growing, and none seem to have constant crashign problems. In fact in the two weeks i had my n95, i couldnt even count the number of times i couldnt open up an app, or it would just shut off.

oh, and if you cant use the browser one handed, I dont really understand why. I manage to do it all the time.

All I can say is before climbing down my throat because you dont agree with what Ive said, use an iphone for an extended period, and you will see why people like it so much. Its the combo of stability, ease of use, zero latency, intuitive functions and great form foctor (dont tell me its bgger, becuase once in your pocket it is half as obtrusive as an n95).
