I have the nokia 5800 since 3 weeks but I am not happy with it:
-Toy build
-Fragile screen(finger and scratches easily)
-Camera is dull in low light,people look like zombies.
-Battery life is about 30h max
-Screen not fantastic in sunlight
...
I am very seduced by the look of the Iphone 3G and it's speed(50x faster than 5800),its UI,its apps and games with high graphics...
I am just afraid of one thing: internet via Safari!
1st my Wap connection would not work with it!
2- People are saying it's a data vacuum! while with my nokia I can just use 20mb per month for Msn messenger and Facebook only,I don't like to surf alot on phones.
So if I want to use Safari without Wifi I will have to pay double per month for a GPRS pack.
Please help me choose! Should I keep my 5800 or throw it and take an iphone? |

Bluetooth will be opened thanks to ibluetooth
Sms forwarding and deleting is already cracked
The only thing that I will sacrifice is the ''internet on the go'',I will only use office and home Wifi because as I told I only have Wap on my line! No 3G in our country nor Edge,just 40mb of GPRS for 30$ per month!
If only Opera make a version for iphone... |

Steve is living in some kind of Nokia reality distortion field, where mobile nirvana in 2009 is somehow summed up by the N95-8GB. It's just typical gadget-hound, tech-blog nonsense from someone who's swapped between so many phones, they've forgotten what any of them are actually used for.

@Boinng  So true mate.
That guy really is a complete nob-jockey. His head is filled with specced-out nonsense. What makes a good phone in his book? One that can do everything?! Deluded. Should be focusing on what it can do, rather than what it can not. |

Mind you, he does make some good points...if jailbroke process was more difficult, i would label the iphone has a seriously gimped device...even with jailbreak, Apple should by now have provided most of that stuff...its unexplainable why they lock the potential of the iphone

@ares Yeah, he does make some good points, of which mostly all are valid. Surely Apple know by now the jailbreak process the Dev-Team have been going through for well over 18 months with 2 different devices, so if they really wanted to stop it for good, they would. In a way, they probably see it as a way to not have to bother writing the stuff themselves, and leave the door open for the hacking community!
@Vegetaleb, Just go for it dude, if you really didnt want the iPhone then you still wouldn't be weighing the idea up! It's obviously what you want... i say just go for it - you wont regret it when you've got it in your hands |

Know what, I like the iPhone's camera, it's ready to use in a second and just points and shoots, nice and simple, exactly what you need in a phone. A flash would be nice but that's literally all I'd add, and even then I'd want to be sure that worked when it needed to without slowing anything else down.
5mp, autofocus, xenon flash - it all sounds great but I've never once seen a camera on a phone that delivered great picture quality worthy of all that and was fast and useable at the same time. Essentially the old truth is still true, if you want top quality pictures you carry a camera, anything else is for snaps.
And as for Steve, yes obviously some of his points are fair, but others are certainly coloured by an obsession with specs. For instance multitasking - he argues that because apps are closed on the iPhone, switching between them is slow. In reality that's nonsense. The iPhone's actually quicker at switching between apps then most "multitasking" phones I've used, due to better memory management and much lighter, faster apps, but like many people Steve ignores that in favour of the traditional view that multitasking = speed.
