I rather wait and see what people say each are like before commiting myself to a long contract.

Sound another iPhone vs snazy thread with the occasional mart comment.

sorry my physic power kicked in then how this thread is gonna turn out.











iPhone is the best phone anyways. We all know snazy is just in denial

I was eagerly awaiting the N97 but got fed up of waiting and went for the Blackberry Bold, best phone i've ever had and just been voted phone of the year
However, if i had to choose between the N97 and the Iphone i would choose the N97 hands down, the Iphone is to commercially limited where as you can pretty much do anything you want with Nokias! It really bugs me that you can't even access your battery on the Iphone as well!!

Commercially limited ? What do you mean ? Just curious

<snazy mode off >

Just the way you have to pay for pretty much everything! They've even noticed that people are using unlimited internet to tether to their laptops and started charging for that, O2 have you by the short and curly's aswell as they're the only network to have it so if you want to get the Iphone for free it's a 24 month contract (as far as i'm aware)
For the people who already have Iphones, it isn't just a simple free upgrade like last time when upgrading to the 3g, you have to buy yourself out of your current contract and then sign up to a new contract!
Don't get me wrong the Iphone is a monster of a phone but i would just prefer the N97!

Ant

So internet tethering is free on a n97? I've had all the major services and 02 has been the best.

You just sound like another peed off person you cant get the iPhone for free so I'll slate

Ant

I also wouldn't expect to upgrade for free early as it's a new phone. If a new nokia phone comes out you don't get to upgrade early for free

G00ner

I'm no Apple fanboy, but the last few top end Nokias I've owned (N70/80/95) have been garbage, not sure I'd ever want to buy another one of those.

If it was a choice between the Nokia or iPhone then it's a no brainer for me.

Azz230988

No i seriously contemplated the Iphone, like i said i think they're an amazing phone, as for the tethering, a friend of mine tethers his N95 and uses his unlimited internet at no extra cost.
The only reason i didn't get the Iphone instead of the Bold was the fact that i've had bad experiences with O2 and wanted to stay with Orange but didn't want to wait on the N97 as my friend who works in a phone shop said the Nokia rep could not confirm a release date. I would happily pay for a phone if it was worth the money and as for the upgrade i just think that those who bought the 3g would be pretty peed that people got the free upgrade from the 1st gen to the 3g but they don't get a free upgrade from the 3g to 3gs!

My mate is the manager of an o2 store and could of sorted me 20% off line rental however you are limited with the i-phone ie camera, processor, cost ect
N97 is available with al networks, is free on most and a more cost effective option in my opinion.
Yes their will be issues with software in the first few moths but nokia have promised updates to over come any "teething" issues.
Wots more the N97 is just god samn sexual

Snazy

Oi whats with the Snazist comments

N97 looks to be a good bit of kit, but I would hold off for a few weeks until they have both kicked about the market and get their honest reviews, not the excited reviews.

Boils down really to what sort of interface you want, and if you want a hardware keyboard.

I'd wait and see, the past few nokias have had horrendous firmware bugs on release

I was involved in the press launch. Still don't want one though...!

You can tethere free on the iPhone have a look here

there's your reason to buy the iPhone, as for being able to do what ever you want with it, jailbreak it, then the worlds you lobster

Azz230988

But once you jail break your warranty is void!! Pricy piece of kit to pay for to have fixed! Can you even do this to the 3gs yet?!

Ant

How can it void your warranty when you can just apply the original firmware to get the jailbreak off?

It won't take them long to jailbreak it. Jailbreaking is the easiest bit it's unlocking that can be a problem

n97 will be full of bugs initially I'd put money on it.

ronjeramy

You don't need to jailbreak for the tethering.

£15 a month for the tethering though on O2

Snazy

OK who is right ? lol

You can tether for free but at your own risk...

I'm waiting for the N86. Nokia's first phone with a 8 MP Camera complete with a Carls Zeiss lens and 8gb on board storage

iTrader: (6)

I'm surprised no one's been and got their 3GS by now!

Snazy

Interesting button layout.
Sounds nice spec though, and remains a standard style phone to operate too

I am waiting for the N100, fab piece of kit, 200GB capacity, DSLR lens with a zoom facility to 1 mile, has an alarm clock on it, drink dispenser and doubles up as a *****

Matteeboy

So pretty much like my phone (C905) - 8.1MP camera with a decent lens, 8GB storage (mostly on a card though - cheap to buy) which has been out for ages?!!

And it doesn't have a hateful Nokia OS either...

Snazy

Same spec as the iPhone 4th Gen then lol Its getting close now eh!

Mattee, the Nokia has 8gb onboard 16 on micro SD, so a little extra
Personally I dont get on with SE phones, and prefer the Symbian OS, so I reckon the battle will carry on between the 2 manufacturers.

And remember the 8 million pixies living inside the Nokia have a decent window to look out of
