doesnt have N-band would be a disadvantage, but not the rest of it...a rational iPhone 4 user would know that the antenna issue and glass shatter issue is not a myth, and would get a casing edi... USB OTG and HDMI Output i suppose really rare usage...
iPhone's advantage over N8 would be:
-more fluid performance, way less lag compared to N8(yeah, it still have lag, i wont deny that, only iFags say their iOS totally no lag)
-the browser is so much better then N8's
-Resolution and color accuracy. Despite AMOLED having nicer color, it's actually overly vibrant, IPS provides more accurate color..as for resolution, the word speaks for itself
-the number of big titles/apps available...i don think games like Crimson Gem Saga(ported from PSP) or Chaos Rings would come to Symbian platform.
-default sound quality. I own both phones, so i have compared both phones with both loudspeaker and earphones. N8 is a lot louder, but the iPhone's speaker is more bassy...same goes to earphone. I think this is just a software adjustment issue
-way better text input despite the missing of swype. N8's keyboard layout is just hard to adapt...and on portrait mode user are forced to use T9 input...don like it, sorry
the above is the reason i chosen iPhone 4 over N8..
there's another point worth mentioning, N8 supports .avi videos natively, and i do think it's very convenient, recently iPhone had a solution with VLC player, however i still think N8 has the advantage over that cos not everyone knows the app's esrxistnce
@Aspire: there's always pros and cons and there will be no perfect phones, but by comparing, we can find more good and bad things about phones, don forget, there are other people reading this, so they can know all these without going into too much deep research
Haha...
It's considered luck or what also I don't know. Had Steve Jobs himself not being overly too arrogant, maybe IPhone already reached another milestone. Let's just wait for Meego release. I don't think I would be surprised if it turns out to be more desktop like.
