@area: You missed out the most important criterion:
"finally, a great bargain price."
...give me a call when the 8GB N95 hits 35k price tag... sometime in 2010 maybe?

Opera mini on iPhone? Steve Job said no 3rd party applications except online applications!

the interface is very sleek..bout the opera mini...no 3rd party apps..but the safari browser is great...w900 & w950 USED to do the job..they've long been sold(w900i is still the best phone ive used to date)...!@chuksy...got someone to buy it from yankee...but this was b4 the software update..and i unlocked it using the iphonedev teams open source software....but u can get them on ebay.com...(com..not co.uk)...@ AYA..its an excellent ipod for starters..the browser is currently the best in the market(..althouth i never tried any of the opera mini's..)....if you could let me kno which features you are intrested in i could test them out and let you kno |

Unfortunately, browsers don't work in isolation. The iPhone browser is of no good to me without an adequate text entry system e.g. A QWERTY keyboard. Text entry on the iPhone is crazy, especially if you have to post on a forum like this, or do some of the more advanced stuff I do with the E61.
This cramped data entry issue should limit emailing and SMS on the iPhone the same way.
Plus any device that does not allow use of Opera mini or provide the same compression technology and versatility is suspect. Without Opera mini, my GPRS bills will hit the roof.
Finally, the lack of 3rd party apps - java or otherwise - just places the iPhone in a box. Why its called a smartphone by some beats me.

Not even JAVA? how boring can that get?
On my little W810i I have like 8 java applications that make the phone tick. You mean I'll buy an iPhone for $400 and not be able to pimp it up?
W960i where art thou? |

Simple and short.
I'm in search of mobile broadband. Any news on 3G? The CDMA guys making noise about EVDO are not offering full mobility i.e. Direct access and usage on mobile devices, and their coverage is still pretty limited. Starcomms EVDO, for example, is not available at my location. Help!

Following this report by Punch newspaper, 3G roll out is not far off, probably this quarter.

@ AYA i have to fault you on 2 things..the entry is in no way cramped..touchscreen qwerty with large buttons is much better than p990i tiny qwerty buttons. and about the compressing of data..the iphone was not made with nigerua in mind...its not apples fault that mere gprs cost a fortune..for thier wider mkt(wich i doubt countries like nigeria with poor services will make up to 1%)...they dont have rip off gprs cost..most have unlimited data plans available so technically lack of opera is not a problem...for those without gprs or egde is still very available..so the 2 points really dont knock the iphone from bein a smartphone...bout the 3rd party apps..ur spot on for that..but no phone is perfect...and apparently something is in the works officialy by apple..although u can hack(which is not that hard) your iphone to put 3rd party apps on it(limited to a few) |

I am directing this post at the diehard Nokia loyalists on this forum.
My boss's wife just got an E65 and I had to transfer contacts from her old N70. She had no computer and no data cables so backing up via pc was not an option. I proceeded to mark all entries in the phonebook and send via BT. I couldn't believe my eyes as the Nokia connection began to send the contacts one by one via 736 text messages. I was thus forced to open each one in order 2 save them. Each text took approx 7seconds to open & 2secs 2 save. this same operation on an SE would take 1mim & 1 text. someone pls tell me what makes these phones smart? |

@amby: Haba! New nokia phones including the E and N series have an advanced data tranfer facility that tranfers contacts through bluetooth. I've used it several times to move contacts en bloc ftom one nokia phone to another. And it is fast. Read the E65 manual.
