Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4 – Ten Things Why Nokia N8 Is Better

Nice confrontation. The N8 is already a winner, specs-wise. Now we need to see it in all markets Nokia is active for the real impact.

i likeiNOKIA N 8

I am not a fan of Apple. However, Apple iPhone 4 has one major advantage over the N* that needs to be pointed out. It is available now and no one knows when the heck we will see the N8! By announcing the phone with no release date, and as each passes without a release date, the masses are opting for the iPhone 4 now instead of waiting.

To be fair thought you did leave out a major advantage the N8 has over the iP4. It can be used on multiple 3G networks. The iP4 can currently be used only on AT&T. We all know that. But the N8 will be able to access 3G networks on both AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S. Have AT&T & don’t like their data rates? Switch to T-Mobile without switching devices (assuming you aren’t under contract of course). Very nice!

@Lloyd
Thanks for that addition. I actually run out numbers just to point the top ten. In the US that is much of a concern but later this year lots will be going to have an unlocked iPhone 4, most likely US will get next year based on rumors.

The release date for the N8 is supposed to be August 24th-25th.

The iPhone 4 also has pentaband 3G, but instead of working on T-Mobile, it will work on DoCoMo (1700MHz vs. 800MHz). I imagine it’s probably Apple’s attempt to break into the Japanese smartphone market.

You missed a massive one (for me a least), built-in FM transmitter!

y+eh man FM transmitter very usefull for people like us who drives cars everday

plz nokia plz dont fail us dis time support your os like Apple supports its Iphone

@Jade Bryan

It was confirmed yesterday, the 29th, that the iPhone 4 will be available with Verizon in January. However, don’t bet on it being unlocked. None of the U.S. carriers sell phones with plans and all phones are configured to their specifications. One can purchase unlocked phones for use to avoid 2 yr contracts, but the few unlocked iPhones out there are expensive and/or have been hacked (voids the warranty).

I personally have all unlocked Nokia devices and currently use the N900 on T-Mobile. I have no contract and can switch carriers at will and hope to never have a locked device. That said, I look forward to the N8 and will try it on T-Mobile. However, their coverage pales to that of AT&T so I may go back. What keeps me with T-mobile is their unlimited data plan….no longer an option with many U.S. carriers.

Ooops… I type too fast. None of the U.S. carries sell phones without plans is what I should’ve said in my first paragraph.

@TED
Yes, thank you for that. But I also drop the Mobile TV as well as the FM trans on my lists. heheh. I think there are lots of features that needs to be featured again but in part 2. lols

There were phones with better hardware than iPhone 3GS and there will be phones in the future that will have better specs than iPhone 4, but one thing that they will lack are the variety of apps. I have 5530 and sick of not finding apps and not being able to download a lot of nice games and apps because my device is not supported.

E.g., there is no decent internet radio app that plays all stations, and the one from nokia labs has awful interface (you need to edit text files to add new stations) and it doesn’t support quite a few streams too.

The applications on the phone is what makes (or breaks) the popularity. Hardware can be changed overnite, but to build a solid application base it takes ages. Nokia was there before Apple, but still lacks behind in terms of popularity in Apps. You can see this in their market segment (Smartphones).

This blog post reflects a lot of my feelings for nokia and symbian:

@Irha

Well, farewell to that blog. They have made a great effort on keeping the blogosphere alive. But symbianworld is still here tho.

All the display and reception problems with the iPhone 4 should be enough for anyone to choose the N8, even without going into the hardware specifications and software ui.

after using iphone for a while, and back to nokia, i felt that nokia is a toy. like the child has.

seriously.

If Nokia phones had a more consistent UI and minimum hardware standards (min. RAM, CPU speed, GPU acceleration), maybe more developers would take advantage of this market opportunity. Aples one size fits all approach has made things much more simple and holistic. Nokia needs to start managing its software and device portfolio as ONE Team instead of a compilation of pet engineering projects all competing for limited resources.

IMO.

Let’s give Anssi a little more time. I hope Nokia would not miss this opportunity and if they will, then it’s a hell critical for them.

@jan

Nokia N8 is better device. It has 12 MP camera on Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash. It also support multitouch. The price is also lower compare to iPhone 4 which only offers few multimedia features.

Nokia N8 has an USB on-the-go, hdmi, divx playback and more.

Nokia n8 is simply amazing with its features hope it does well in the market looking forward for it.

Reception of WiFi – shame on iPhone

I think this is important issue not widely known so far.
iPhone 4′ WiFi interface seem to be extremely sensitive to ambient 2.4Ghz traffic.

I have just tried playing the Apprentice from BBC iplayer. Experiences differ my iPhone4 is complete hiccup, while when I use my N8 playback goes seamlessly.

Speedtest.net gives a clue on the nature of the problem with iPhone4 – it does mere 750 mbps download – not enough for a standard definition clip.

Indeed, at 7am when people sleep iPhone does as well as N8 and benchmarks show 16mbps performance.

Pardon Steve, What are you saying?
Oh, I need to adjust my sleeping habits to WiFi traffic… indeed.

SHAME on you iPhone!

Nokia n8 has the lowlest screen resolutions among all smartphones in the same price range…

It has the slowest CPU and lowest ram

it is not upgradable to meego or S^4

the ui is slow and lags

the apps are very less and developers are not willng for s3 as s4 will be out soon and so they are waiting for s4

The ui looks alot like the 1 in n97 and a complete rip off android and ios even the singl button style

The phne is way to overpriced as the hardWare and ui belong to th midrange department….

Here are few reasons not to buy n8 or why n8 is the worst smartphone in it’s price range or how iPhone and adroid are way way better than n8

Nokia has been manufacturing phones for more than 30 years. They make phones that work. The iPhone can’t even work as a proper phone. Fix that first Steve.

N8 is a Camera and a GPS Navigation device built into a phone. Instead of carrying 3 devices, you only carry one.

iPhone also has camera and maps but you need wifi!
iPhone camera cannot match N8.
How to navigate when you don’t have wifi??

nokia n8 has 12mp camera n iphone has 5mp…..
bad comparison….
if iphone comes with 12mp then no company could provide bettr resolution than iphone wid 12mp camera….

so frens compare wid camera of equal megapixel……

The iphone cannot even work properly as a phone. Fix that first.

There are lots of sites out there comparing photos and videos taken with iphone and N8. Most are done by apple fannies trying their best to make their iphone look better. anyone with half a brain would know that the iphone with 5 mega pixels is no match for N8 with 12 mega pixels and the biggest sensor. Nokia also uses carl zeis lens and xenon flash to make it as good as a regular camera.

iphone is only better on screen resolution. This is good if you are happy with staring at your iphone screen all day long. Nokia allows you to output your photos and videos through HDMI to your TV screen. Can iphone do this?

what nokia lacks is a decent application store . who really needs 12mp really 5mp is more than enough people . you get all exited for sepcs you really don’t need . think about it do you really need 12mp , are you all wedding photographers or what !!! , how much are you going to enlarge your picture ?????. now with an iphone i can do endless things with a picture it’s like having photoshop with me .
really guys how good is all nokia’s hardware if there are no decent software behind it

don’t get me wrong i despise apple’s way of limiting the iphone’s capabilities so there is nothing better than a JAILBROKEN iphone .

for those of you critisising the iphone please do some research before doing so , have you ever heard of sygic gps and for those of you bragging about 48gb of memory do you really need it . i have 32gb and currently using 10.2gb and i have 141 apps installed plus 1230 photos and 82 songs so please think clearly .

i am currently studying for my nursing degree and the iphone helps allot with anatomy applications and pharmaceutical apps , plus allot of cool games when bored . yes the iphone lacks in hardware and it’s extremely picky accessories are a pain but it over compensates with wonderful breath taking apps like talking dictionaries and musical instruments like ocarina and medical apps like lexi-complete ……………

now if nokia’s ovi store gets much better i will definitly switch to nokia’s n8 . but for now in my opinion apple has the upper hand .

previous owner of ipod touch 1g and proud owner of iphone 3gs.

forgot one thing no one does touch screens like apple period. if you were an iphone owner you will all understand what i’m saying .
and another thing who can resist free apps on a jailbroken iphone .
i have saved 530$ worth of apps . lexi-complete alone would have cost me ~250$.

Sadly, what Nokia lacks is decent snappy software. So what if you have the best hardware on the planet (and let’s forget the poking out camera at the back), Symbian 3 isn’t in the same ballpark as Android or iOS, nor are the miniscule amounts of decent apps. You don’t need wi-fi for iPhone maps, it simply uses wi-fi, GPS etc just like any other phone. It doesn’t have pre-loaded maps, but then again HTC Desire HD does (and better ones than Ovi maps, which is still very good). Personally I’d love to get an N8 – with a larger screen, a flatter body and a better OS / apps, but without it I’d be more tempted by the HTC Desire HD. If the N8 were offered in the UK at a £200-£250 mark, I think they’d have a real winner

all i want from smartphones is to do all things that i need everyday where ever i’am so N8 is my choice

nokia n8 is certainly a better phone, and why arent people crazy over the usb on go feature,that is very very cool…Although still the camera doesn excite much, coz to be frank nobodys out there clicking professional photographs a 5mp works just fine..
And might i point out to every one who is targeting the app market of nokia..it might not be as big as apple or android but i have always found the apps for nokia which are way cool,avi players torrent clients etc..outside the ovi ofcourse..!

Despite all the pros of the N8, Apple’s biggest trump card is its refined, polished, ultra easy-to-use user interface. Symbian’s biggest flaw since the days of the 5800 has been that. A below par UI (something which is crucial to a touchscreen phone). Even the new Symbian OS, despite all it’s functionality and features is still clumsy to use and doesn’t even come close to iOS, BADA or Android.

Got a N8 last week… touch screen is a big upgrade from 5230 and 5800.
Really like the look and feel of the new symbian os. The editor is the coolest thing since sliced bread, camera is fantastic, and the games are incredible (compared to my previous 5800)

I have been a Nokia fan since my first one in the year of 2004 and I have been using only Nokia cell phones since. I had tried one other brand prior to that, a flip phone and I was not happy with it. One of the main reasons that I like Nokia is that this brand is the only brand that offers the FM-radio free with the phone. Plus, I agree with an earlier comment by Lloyd, written on 30 June 2010. I have been with T-Mobile since 2004 when I got my first Nokia.

However, due to my job change and where I work now, I cannot get a signal with T-Mobile until I get back to the main freeway. Anyhoo, T-Mobile has a better rate plan for more minutes than A-T-T, so instead of canceling T-Mobile, I put T-Mobile on suspension for 18 months and went on A-T-T, which cost me more. Here are my rate plans.
T-Mobile=$39.99 a month for 1000 minutes, plus Free nights and weekends. A-T-T = $69.00 a month for 900 minutes, plus free nights and weekends. I like T-Mobile, so I will be going back on service with T-Mobile in March of 2011 and at that time, I will buy the new Nokia-N8, which comes with an Free FM radio and with the I-Phone 4 or any A-T-T phone devices does Not come with a Free FM radio. I have found that A-T-T charges customers more to access the radio by way of internet.

Another thing that makes T-Mobile service better is a customer is NOT forced to buy a damn data internet plan. I never use the internet on the phone and contrary to popular demand, I Never text at all. In fact, I hate texting and I think that causes more accidents that just talking on a cell phone because a person has to look down at the keys while texting. I had to fight like pulling teeth to get out of my A-T-T data plan that they tried to stick me with. I am finally on a pay per use plan, which is always zero dollars since I never use the i-net except for free WiFi.

Another reason, I like Nokia devices is that I love slider phones and I hate flip phone and I have done the research and Nokia N8 for me a better phone and I can buy it unlocked and I can use it on A-T-T or T-Mobile. The I-Phone 3 or 4 can be bought anywhere, not just A-T-T stores, but it still comes locked, so the I-Phone user is screwed and have to stay on A-T-T or try to find someone who can unlock the phone.

Nokia N8 comes in various colors. I-Phones only come in black and 1 other color.

I will be buying the Nokia N8 in March or sooner and going back on T-Mobile where I pay less money for more minutes and the Nokia N8 has everything that the I-phone has. I just wish someone could tell me what is Symbian^3? and what does it do on a cell phone? End of story. Hang in there. Miami Little Cuba signing out.

i think someones a little bit bias

For someone who is such a big Nokia fan, you don’t even know what Symbian is.

Please, some compare with Satio… I have to Know!

you are wrong james. he says he does not know what “symbian 3″ brings as difference. he does not say he wonder what symbian is. actually, i dont know what symbian 3 brings, either.

iphone4 is the best mobile when comparing wit nokia n8 or with any mobile……

R u rly saying the n8 is better than iphone ?? u gotta be kidding rite? iPhone 4 is like perfect diamond and n8 is a uncut rock… iPhone is like 2x easier 2 use n it is just way much betta than n8… dontcha just realize u talking about iPhone or even comparing it with n8 ?, thats iPhone, just deal with it…

Rainer your problem is, you buy the name rather than considering what you are buying. You are not the only one though but then you have to change your mindset. I am not saying n8 is better than the Iphone but then on your argument against the N8 you were like ‘ thats iPhone’. Which means you just like the name iPhone.
Basically you gotta stop being influenced by media. No offence

“The iPhone can’t even work as a proper phone.” Like what? Which one?… Krone

nokia n8 camera is better then iphone4 camera but iphone4 games quality is better to n8

andriod window mobile is better to iso4 and symbian 3 mobiles

Nokia N8 is better! iPhone is way over priced and biggest of the issues, its a locked phone! How many of us would always stuck with one carrier all the time or switch to it? And Apple exports iPhones to other countries! What about that? They still send a locked phone and we always need to jailbreak it to unlock it..but they keep the SAME price as Apple and AT&T would have! Nokia is the best! Forget the rest!

Though I gotta admit that iPhone 4 wins by its Retina Display and over more 300,000,00 apps available and also with more support. But I can’t understand why Apple still makes it a locked phone?Don’t they have profits already?And I heard that iPhone don’t have a FM Radio! What an asshole!

Buy a Nokia!

First of all i think phones always like me my fist phone was a motorola startac and after that one a huge record of phones nokia Sony samsung BB apple. Well i used to be a Sony fan but their phones never worth it, they always have software issues. By the same time I have Sony I tried to see nokia and I bought the n97, just one comment it was so lazy so slow then I sold it. Then Sony comes up with the satio and I think omg 12 mp amazing but no! A lot of software issues I think the worst Sony Ericsson I’ve ever had therefore the 12 mp were amazing but still a very very bad phone and the only different in it was the symbian so I change to black berry for a few time for the iPhone appears and the bb was so neutral, always working I loved the qwerty it was awesome and then the iPhone 4 comes out, the real thing is that the cost is very very high but I really think that it worths every dollar a jailbroken iPhone is awesome you can have a lot of futures and being on AT&T or t mobile I’ve never had and android but I may check them in a few time with a xperia but in my opinion the ugliest one is Motorola then BB because they don’t do anything speciall then nokia Sony and in first apple. It is my first iPhone and I really love it, the apps the speed and everything. After all my cellphone record I recommend iPhone (jailbroken) if not any other cause without jailbraking it really sucks the only problems I really hate is the bluetooth sharing and the antena problem but that one is easy to fix with a case that protects it to.

nokias are nokias..but i-phone is taking thousands of customers away from it. im still geting nokia n8 as i nwont need a camcorder now. mohammed

exactually you are wrong
because n8 has hd graphic with its processor and the quality of the games are amazing in n8

Hey Guys, I am kind of an old 32 yrs user but proudly had WInMo, Nokias, BB and Droid and now iPhone 3Gs iOS 4. I use as back office plataforms Gmail and Exchange. I have been reading about N8 and iPhone and it is interesting how people make it personal. For me it always depends on how you use it. In example, I believe all interfaces have problems and coul not find a perfect phone. I haven’t tried yer WM7.

The fact is, iOS is much more for entertainment with 100′ of useless apps and few good ones for business, WM are excellent for business and fluent with MSFT backoffice infrastructure, and for me Droids are growing but as an open system I faced a lot of hardware/software problems and Nokias is something in the middle.

Just to give an example: if you are looking for games and media, go for an iOS. apple guys have beeing doing this for years. If you use google as an e-mail, go for Droid. If hoje are a serious professional that really needs to be productive, nothing replaces MS Exchabge / Outlook and WInMo. Forget BB with intermediate softwares and extra charges for things u can get 4 free.

I love Nokias. Had a N95 than 5800, tha N97. The real great features of Nokias for me are: battery, charge speed, solid structure, best in class phone ( making phone calls), ovi maps with world wide navigation is great and free,and cameras with seis are great. What is bad and for me that kills in a smartphone is very poor calendar and problems synchronizing with MSExch, bad task filters and very very poor reminders. Lets say you forget your phone on your desk and you loose the reminder. You will never have the chance to see it again. Nokias should copy WinMo on this. Apple and BB are not great on this as well. Droid I better and WinMo is gret.

So, as I believe Nokias usually has the better balance between features an price, I would wait for a decent OS that can at least do th basics in a decent way for hard workers.

Can you imagine N8 running Droid with hundreds of apps? Just think about it. Nokia usually build the best phones but the software is los between big players doing very well on their segments. Nokia will never be big again floating in between.
For me Nokia Jagdesh

Agreed wat aTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLIO

1. Screen Rersolution cant be counted, as, with theyr equal display size, you cant see any difference from normal distance.
2. As to current announcements, a S^4 will never come to existence, but S^3 will be cept p to date, future points towards meego.
i have N8 myself, its not slow and dosnt lagg, unless you have about 20 apps open, which as far as i know you basically cant anywhere else.
HDMI, USB otg, native avi / divx / mkv playback (laggless over HDMI), and many more, say what you want, ill leave you stuck with your somanythousands of useless apps, but currently no smartphone gets to match the N8

iphone is just shit …. dont even able to take any thing from other blue tooth … need i tunes must for add some thing … N8 is just awsome … Apple all product are shit

N8 can read my transcend external hard drive – Must have feature

Know your facts well. And you better Use and talk. All are equal if the cam is 5 mp and above, No of pixels come into picture only when the photo is enlarged. When you are viewing the photos on phone, its the quality and high definition come first.. check out Samung wave 2, Sony Vivaz U5 and other HD (High Definition) phones to compare. Now see where iphone stands…

There is nothing in iphone except the touch calibration. Its the best, but nothing else in it.

Coming to apps that Apple provides is way behind what Nokia ovi store has… Nokia is emerging with new things. But Apple is coping them from Nokia and Black Berry.

If you can observe Apple is always 6 months late in launching its products..

Nokia N8 is practically better than iphone. First off all is its 12 MP camera which makes iphone a looser in front of it. Iphone cannot be called as a phone. PRANAV

network reception is very poor my sister owns an iphone an i have a NOKIA N8…i am always connected bt at times she is not !!!!

I agree with you @sayam butt, N8 is much much better then iPhone 4. I personally feel that iPhone is just a freaking trend. People are queueing up just to get the iPhone. The most hated part is the iTunes. No drag and drop. It is a hassle transfering songs man.
With the N8, totally different story.
imakerz

u stupid dick-head iphone was the fisrt phone to have a build in navigation system…u dont need a wifi to navigate…and i phone 4 camera is way better

What about the processor speed of iphone4??
Its 1GHz
Isn’t it much better than the Nokia N8??

Yes u r rite
Iphone4 is way better
why the screen resolutions and Processing speed are not discussed?? Iphone4 is best of all in them.
and what about the plastic used in iphone4, which is 30times stronger than the ordinary plastic and is scratchless

The whole post is biased

n8 is awesome…better than any iphone!!!

there is a very important thing that n8 have and iphone 4 doesn’t
it’s the fm radio transmitter , which is very useful while driving for example

The N8 is also better as it does not use iTunes so you can drag and drop music files and thus organise this much more easily, I hate iTunes and though have to use it as my partner has the iphone. Another great thing about the N8 is the built in FM transmitter and the recent addition of DAB if you buy the special headset. As for apps, well you can only use so may so does it matter that apple has so many, I have what i need for my Nokia. We have enough good games, social apps and utilities now in the Ovi store. When Anna is available for all Symbian 3 phones I believe the latest Nokia smartphones will be the best choice if you do your homework on this issue.

Edinburgh, Scotland

they like iphone because its popular they dont realy see the good quality of a cellphone. like the nokia n8 its the whole package all you can wish for all you can ever need

Nokia N8 is the best and i am also using Nokia N8. Thanks for sharing this information.

I agree with you aafreen. I feel that, N8 is best compare iphone 4. N8 is somewhat different.

price vice n 8 is good but i phone is best

I have never used iPhone and i am using Nokia cellphone two three years and for me Nokia is the best. Nokia N8 is really a good cellphone. and you have pointed some important points in this post.

In terms of download ereader so as to read which has better iphone or nokia 8

@12563e673c219112abdaa2f63ef772d2:disqus yes iphone can do this, you have to buy the adapter, and those who hate iphone are just trying to convince themselves that there is some device which can beat it, use it once and next moment you come to know what it is. Wake up guys.

U FOOOOL JUST WASH N DRINK UR IPHONE 4 

SOME FOOLS THINK THAT MORE THE PRICE BEST THE THING. 

[...] Check Nokia N8 and iPhone 4 comparison. [...]

WHAT ABOUT THE SNOW LEAPORD OS ?

nothing bu nokia and you are the worlds biggest dirtiest shit.f#*% nokia.

you dont know about iphone gaming? your like a shitty baby.

you need the best camera? buy iphone 5 on september.

ovi is moving out of nokia.

buy iphone 5 of iphone 10 but u cant’t find the featues like nokia N8…

CPU and ram only should be compared if two devices were running the same OS.

My n97 had an awesome internet radio app, free sports tracker, well ness diary, swype, all the games you could ever want.
5530 aint exactly iphone comparison, one cost 3 times the other.

I am with you on the medical apps, i hate that nokia doesnt have the espn3 app either. Still dont want a phone that REQUIRES a case.
I like to go naked with my phones. Always have, Always will. The nokias have lasted me 2 years atleast without cases. First the E71 and then the N97 and now hope fully the N9 (soon). No keys, just swipe the phone (just picture wiz saying that) Un huh you know what it is.
My friend has an HTC the screen broke with the cover on, good thing she has warranty, got a new phone, week later screen broke on the second one with the cover a week later.
All those Iphone screen repair websites must be there for a reason. You dont see a nokia fix your screen website.

Hey guys, 
Nokia N8 + iTouch = iPhone 4 in terms of $$I have 2 gadgets, i dont need to argue in terms of apps, apps for iphones are also apps for itouch.

I Sooooooooooo Agree with you man.
iphone sucks
Nokia N8 is Awesome!!!

Having used N8 and Iphone 4 thru last 6 months , I can say with confidence that N8 is far more desirable for a regular user like me .Consider the below1. Image and video quality far better WITH 12MP CAMERA – CARL GEISS LENSE 2. Sound/audio better any day 3. Basic voice and SMS better e.g. in N8 like any nokia phone , you can draft n number of SMS , in iphone you can at best retain the last typed message as ‘draft’.4. price wise N8 35% cheaper in India
Go for N8 if you have to choose. For a person like me who uses typically 5/6 hrs of talk time every day and occasional photo/browsing , N8 is very convenient and who cares about iOS better than symbian etc . these kind of topics are for geeks who have nothing better to do , not for genuine phone users.

dont worry next year there is a new nokia phone

that is right bro nokian apps is the same i rememeber 15 years ago had the same app
no news just new model but the same app

you need an adapter and power and 3 cables and a little store to make u see your self on
secreeen and a usb adapter

uday kumar chary : n8 is much much better that iphone in all features, but iphone had 1gb processor that is the only ahead in iphone, in fact that is not big negative for n8. still nokia n8 is best over iphone, am using it from last 6 months.

I bought N8 recently…. i dont know about iphone 4…… but N8 is simply amazing….
I got N8 with anna pre-installed….its great experience to explore everyday with N8…like txting, image quality, hd video, dolby, HDMI, USB onthe go, FM transmitter, bluetooth with PC, as a modem, and many more…

Really a power pack…

Cool! You will surely enjoy it!

Cool! You will surely enjoy it!

Hmm. great Ideas..

iphone 4 fanboys doing my head in sayin its better than N8. I can set a tune for ring tone and text, mass storage, bluetooth, accept most file formats for music and videos without itunes bollocks, just drop an drag. I can plug my n8 into pc to use internet. On iphone u can’t. I can record 720p video iphone u can’t. Dolby digital surround sound out of n8. Iphone sounds shit. Battery lasts along time when playing games or watching videos. Apple ain’t that far advanced. I can send a hd film threw Bluetooth to another phone

to previous comment. Iphone can record 720p video.

[...] It’s already more than a year when we compared the Nokia N8 and Apple iPhone 4. What we did was we highlighted the things that makes your Nokia N8 standout against the iPhone 4. [...]

i have owned both n the nokia is better anyday coz its not locked to that shitty itunes n is freely compatible with all my wifi /Bt devices.

What Games?  iPhone has a thousand more games than Nokia.  Gaming wise the iPhone 4 is FASTER. the HD graphics on the  iPhone 4 is also superior ( N8 640 x 360  vs  iPhone 4  960 x 640).  Game developers like me HATES your phone. its junk. Developing for it is shit.  You are comparing features of a phone that are not relevant.  Processing power is irrelevant when the OS in your phone is Bloated and Slow. 2 finger touch screen versus 10. Your phone is based is just a cheap piece of shit trying to be high end when in reality its just another dipshit phone for losers.

Symbian is the shittiest Operating system ever developed And its death is most welcome.

[...] you still remember on previous posts that Nokia N8 camera has been compared too against iPhone 4, Xperia Arc, Samsung Galaxy SII and many other devices. So were convinced that N8 is still the [...]

everybody cannot have liimited work like u & if u r saying that u only need 10 to 15 gb to work so get a cheaper set and nowadays people r demanding quality and nokia’s giv’in it so get ur i phone & keep it to u cuz n8 is far better

N8 hands down .. Battery life . Photo quality . Hdmi . 

Drag and drop media adding . Sd Slot . Call Quality . Real Video call .. Real usable Bluetooth. Can freely install apps. Love it best phone ever! previous phone was 3gs .. Such a restrictive pile of Shite . Yes i know jailbreak . But i think it’s pretty pathetic how you have to hack a device to get it to run like it should . Where my N8 does it all standard . And on another note i love the way my videos auto convert on the fly when copying to n8 .. nuff said

At first I bought N8, but I didn’t like it, because it was crashing and was too slow.. Than I bought iPhone 4 and it’s just amazing! absolutely love it
