Just want to post something little off topic...

Today I just played with my uncle's iphone. Wow, absolutely in love with the touch screen features! Seriously, using iphone is really something can't be explained in words, better than using WM pda phones! Also the camera actually surprised me, it actually take really good pictures for what it is! Although good lighting is needed as it has no flash at all but it's doing a superb job for casual shooting! No video recording? No problem, that's just the matter of time when Apple going to put that in!

But still, compared to N95 8GB, my phone has better wifi reception and of course we have dpad and keypads which makes game playing great compared to full touch screen. But still, multimedia entertainment still no match for iphone, the screen is, urgh...Simply amazing...

Somehow I'm seriously considering iphone as my next phone (if so happened ) as I find I'm getting less use of N95's functions already, even the great camera...I find watching movie and listening music is something more often than taking pictures and GPS, even I also find I didn't quite really playing games already...

...still going to use my N95 8GB as for now as iphone still has tons of stuffs need to improve anyway...

Pigcat,

Trust me, if you get the iphone, you'll enter a different world for mobile. I did that, although I still have my N95 8gig and my Tytn II, both of which enjoys less of my time nowadays. WIndows and Symbian are good OS with their own specialities, but for GUI, nothing tops Iphone.....
When I first got it, played with it the whole nite, just like a kid getting a new wonder toy he's been eyeing for years.....

Truely agree with you! I really have to admit iphone is something "too special" for a mobile device, you really have to play one to agree!

But as I read many users' feedback, there're still many drawbacks as for now, I'm still using quite some features in N95 8GB happily that iphone simply cannot do it, for instance MMS, bluetooth data transfer...Maybe, I'll just wait for the future...

Hopefully Nokia will come out their S60 Touch devices (yes Nokia actually exhibited their upcoming S60 Touch, prove of video is available) that'll have whatever iphone can do and add tons more functions on top of that! Although I'm not going to put high hope for S60 Touch as Nokia haven't been doing great with quality (say, LCD screen colour richness and sharpness compared to iphone/ipod) although spec wise it's truely great.

Who knows maybe one day I cannot tahan liao then suddenly become iphone user...

same here. But then again i hope that mr.jobs will make the iphone available officially here in malaysia. Or when the SDK is available this month so i heard, then i might consider getting 1. Hopefully the price will go down alot like in the US. The price there is amazing compare to what the non-authorized sellers.

But don't put too high hope for that loh. Maybe like US you have to tie to Maxis/Digi/Celcom to use it, or pay a premium for unlock version. And then if looking at ipod's price, USD 399 is selling some RM1500 here, so probably USD 499 will be something like RM1899 or RM1999 gua...

Let's hope lah, have to admit I fall in love with iphone already...

i will go to iphone if got hsdpa. haha.

the screen in superb ,camera is fine ,plus video resolution is the best for mobile phone .. the only disadvantage is no touchscreen

if you really want iPhone you might consider the april released one... it has 3G, MMS, and bluetooth data transfer function in it... i donno i just don really like current iPhone... always play with my frens' but whenever they say switch phone to use for few days i just don wan... to be honest, the screen resolution is superb (which nokia has got years to improve), the music quality , but its a figerprint magnet... btw, don get cheated by the pictures taken, it does not look as good when its on PC screen... no bluetooth data transfer and MMS really

Thanks for the advice!

I've saw some photo samples taken by iphone, to be honest, it looks quite clean and neat for a 2MP camera, better than my old E70. It actually get the job done pretty well for a casual shooting, of course, Mr. Job die die don't want to put any setting for the camera, only zoom in/out, not even a night mode...Also at least a simple LED and auto focus will be really neat, video recording or not I'm not quite worried as I believe there'll be someone coming out with one. And I wonder why, no MMS, no BT transfer...

Anyway N95 8GB is still a great phone to use, and will serve me for a very long time as I don't change phone quite often. If it's not my E70 spoiled due to accident I'm still using the good old E70 until now (purchased Nov 2006). It's just that, sometimes using a complicated phone for long time I tend to feel that I need a simple phone to enjoy.

We'll just see how it goes...Maybe Nokia will come out their S60 Touch that'll just blow iphone off the water, although I seriously doubt it (someone found out iphone actually equipped with a 600+MHz CPU! Some more with a true 8hours talk time! Beat that!)...

i think after this we will se a lot of mobile phone using alike technologies that used by apple..
nokia n se will come off with their own "iphone"...thats will be cool...
heard next gen s60 touch can switch off the alarm by turn down the phone...cool

hmm..how to change the mega pixel??
i go to camera..press option>settings>can't find any mega pixel thing

its in option>settings>image quality mate...

totally agreed with u guys that iPhone's GUI beats any mobile devices OS hands down...b4 i actually gotten this n95 8gb i was considering getting an iphone but then after giving it a serious thoughts due to no warranty and cant be use on maxis so i decided to get nokia instead...i'll go for iphone for my next phone....hehe

Yeah, if future iphone support at least MMS and BT data transfer (at least fulfill the basic phone needs), and will officially launch in Malaysia, I'll definitely go for it. I always wonder why people so crazy about iphone when there're tons of better phones out there until I sit down and play with one kao kao and test all the functions.

One thing about buying Apple product, the price is pretty stable (unless there's new model replacing it). So you won't scare buy one from a shop but just next shop is RM50 cheaper lol.

In comparison to iphone, at this stage the very big problem about symbian phones is that the hardware spec is too many variations. Most 3rd party developers having hard time to make full use of the hardwares and need to release many version in order to keep up the specs. Like SpotOn, don't work on latest Nokia phones due to the different method of charging the LED. And then the most wanted game softwares - emulators. Even though Nokia phones today is pretty much powerful but those software writter has yet to make full use of the hardware, emulating only SNES also suffer so much and have to switch off the audio in order to run smooth (not THAT smooth either, to be honest). Same goes to media player, especially video, it's laggy even though N95/N82 has good hardware. Apple has been doing very well in this aspects, not much variants, simple and neat, developers can focus more on writting than squeeze the brain juice to think about hardware variants. I'm sure it's just the matter of time when Apple will put all the functions in iphone as iphone is running OS afterall, consider a half smartphone already. And, 600mhz CPU woh, when Nokia will put that in their phones?

Ok ok I must stop mumbling iphones in N95 8GB thread already...

Any nice CNY pictures to post? I didn't really take pictures cause not much things to snap...

iphone can be used with maxis... although i do not know what is there to do with the iphone to make it work...

my gf, my sister and her husband is using iphone.... they are all using maxis...

i find iphone is attractive.. but without wifi, there isn't much to do...
for me, i'll go for N95 8G... well, at least IMHO, when i don't like my N95 8G, i can sell it off... easier than selling an iphone... my 2 cents worth..

Basically iphone is phone + ipod lo + wifi lo, nothing much can be done as it's designed as such. I find I watch animations/movies and listen to music and wifi'ingmore than anything else lately on my N95 8GB. At first I use all the functions la but sometimes I just find I'm using them for the sake of, uh, using them lol. Of course sometimes the functions pretty handy when needed, but I don't think I can't live without them. Moreover I do music production for living, and I love music so I can just have a phone that the quality focused more on multimedia entertainment lo.

That's just me, maybe.

As for selling the iphone, maybe that's just the matter of current situation, people just don't want to take risk gua. But I think the resale value of iphone is higher than N95 8GB due to the rare'ness of iphone.

Guys,

This is N95 8gb thread, why suddenly so much talk 'bout Iphone?
I also own one, but N95 8 gb still one of my FAV, infact am using as my modem for doing this now on my lappie. Speedwise, it showed faster bandwidth than my Tytn II.

Sorry la it's my fault to start all the mess...

Anyway N95 8GB also has been discussed 100+ plus pages already mah...

Actually N95 8GB WiFi is more powerful than many mobile devices, not even iphone can compete with the reception...

I don't have the luxurious life of using phone as modem and I never bring my laptop on the go so not needed anyway. How do you find the battery life when using 3G?

I am using my N95 8GB as modem now too as I am back at hometown. I bring my Mac with me and surfing on Digi Edge, so far speed is stable but not good for downloading large files, just nice for some light surfing ;--)

Talk about iPhone, definitely i will get one when it is officially released in Malaysia. Currently all those out there in Malaysia are jail break version, I have a weak heart for those cracking and hacking haha.

when u're using n95 8gb as yr modem, u can only connect the lappie and phone thru infra right? is there an option where u can do it thru cable or bluetooth?
