There are STILL lines for the iPhone and many, many places are sold out. Never seen that for any Nokia device. iPhone is like the frikkin Nintendo Wii!

See, this is typical of N95 users. Yes, it’s a smartphone but

a) the UI bites
b) it’s slow
c) it has a heap of features but poor functionality

And those three categories are exactly where it all matters to me.

So enjoy your N95. Please.

Don’t agree with your comment that using an N95 would be “going back”, quite the reverse in fact. Today I used my N95 with Vodafone Sat Nav to negotiate the streets of Glasgow by car. My Tom Tom Sat Nav now resides in my wife’s car, now that’s worthwhile.

Agreed. And an N95 doesn’t suit me because I’d need to carry an iPod and something with a decent email client.

Horses for courses I suppose…….there ARE things that I would change on the N95 but having to carry around a phone and seperate camera aren’t one of them. I do agree with you that the iPhone has an attractive user interface.

Again, the areas where the N95 is poor are the areas that it matters to me. Sure, it records video and takes better pictures. It’s also considerably thicker, considerably slower and offers a far inferior user experience.

Hard to go back when you’ve experienced something worthwhile.

I haven’t seen anyone queue for an N95… but I have seen an N95 produce very good video and still photos.
Very happy with my N95 8gb at present but i’d love an iPhone sometime in the future which will probably be called the “iPhone decent camera”

Put it another way. Someone laughed when they heard I was outside my local O2 store from 07:45 for a planned 09:00 opening. They opened early at 08:30 and I was on my way home at 09:30.

Apparently I was an idiot for queuing for an iPhone when he had an N95 and it was ‘brilliant’.

Two things stood out.

1) the someone queued OVERNIGHT for GTAIV.

2) have you ever seen anyone queuing for a N95? I haven’t.
