[Tech Geek]

Oww
The pics look really cool

[Pravas]

Hey is it touch pad

[Pathik]

@pravas no...
@kool yea

[gxsaurav]

i m using GPRS extensively these days & have to say for such serious use of GP RS, Symbian OS with native opera which has access to memory card rox. & this phone gives every thing one will need in next 4 years. littrally the god of phones, touch screen would have made it perfect phone

[koolbluez]

Yes... but think of the cost then!!! It'll cost a bomb now. With a touchscreen... it'll b da m.o.a.b.

[lalam]

Wow that phone is amazing and with 5.0 MP camera. Well almost everything one would need it has all. I wish some good samaritan would just gift me this phone

[aryayush]

Ughh... that phone is ugly - and huge!

[aryayush]

OK, c'mon seriously. Isn't that phone ugly?

[mail2and]

I don't think so. Nokia has been making some very pretty phones in the last one year.

[NIGHTMARE]

waiting for N99 communicator

[gxsaurav]

lolz arya. Admit it plz for forum's sake iPhone is a PMP not phone, this is the phone to look for...

[aryayush]

I am not even talking about the iPhone here. You are so infatuated with the device that you tend to bring it up in every discussion.
I am talking about this particular phone and it is duck ugly.

[Pathik]

IMRHO its 10 times better than a iPhone... but then its my RHO...
__________
man it might look ugly to u but looks are not evything na... see the feature list and functionality...... aisa fone na kabhi bana hai na banega....

[aryayush]

HSDPA and a five megapixel camera. HSDPA is unsupported in India, AFAIK. Anything else?
I don't see anything special in this phone, at least on the specs page on GSMArena.

[koolbluez]

Arya... this is a beginning for somethin good in India. Please don't spoil the pleasure.
Apple has its inherent flaws too. Take for eg it's high costs & maintenance values. It's like a white elephant for the common Indian. But Indians encouraged the IPod.

Apple is a computer company first... Nokia is a phone company. It'll take a while for Apple to @least try on Nokia's shoes. Till then... everyone'll go the Nokia & SE way.

Indians need time to accommodate technology. That's whats happening now.

About the phone. It's a beauty no doubt.. both in the looks dept & its purpose. U'll know the power of the N95 when it come to India. The only thing I feel missing in it is optical zoom. But then.. the phone'll b bulky, like the N93i.

[aryayush]

I don't understand why you guys are dragging Apple into the conversation. I neither mentioned Apple nor the iPhone. This is not about comparing the N95 to the iPhone, which is undoubtedly the inferior product if you run a feature comparison of the two phones.

I'm curious to know what ugly phones look like if that thing is a 'beauty'! This is equal to saying that the MacBook Pro looks ugly and I have even heard that. That is a classic Nokia product - overladen with features, uglier than most phones, most likely slow, thick as a brick and will undoubtedly have an insane introductory price.

Kya power, yaar! What does it have apart from HSDPA and a 5 MP camera? I am not ridiculing it. It might have more features that I am unaware of. So, I would love it if you could just point them out to me.

At a thickness of 21mm, it sure isn't bulky yet! I think those guys at the Nokia labs forget that these are devices meant to be carried in pockets - and at most occasions in the pockets of jeans.

[gxsaurav]

well....tell me some thing, what are the features in your beloved iPhone which are not in other phones already. i m not talking about looks or touch....i m talking about features..

ans = none

Right now, you are comparing this phone to iPhone in looks department, aren't you?

This phone is full of features. A real map application which works in many countries not just USA, camera is there already, 3G.....damn, i don't even have time to write it all....this phone is the GOD OF Phones. Just bolding from the previous thread here

I do not need to compare this phone with the iPhone to show that it is ugly. It is ugly in comparison to most phones out there, and the iPhone is sexy in comparison to most phones out there. There is no comparison between the two when it comes to looks. But I have repeatedly said that I am not concerned about the iPhone here.

2 way slide N-series: As if that matters.
S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1(Symbian 9.2): It is a new phone from Nokia and it will have the latest version of Symbian. Big deal!
HSDPA (3.5G) phone (category 6 HSPDA device which means it is up to 10 times faster that WCDMA (3G)): Which also means that it is useless in India at present and for a long time to come.
5 MP (2592 x 1944) Carl Zeiss optics mechanical shutter cam with autofocus & DVD video(VGA 30fps) & a secondary CIF videocall camera; all taken in landscape mode.. a la the SE camphones: Yeah, its got a great camera. I mentioned that myself.
the WLAN: Most high-end phones have it, including the iPhone.
3D stereo speakers: W550i and a few other phones have it too.
MP3, AAC, eAAC, AAC+ and WMA files: Its great that this phone plays a lot of formats but I can always convert my files to other formats if my phone, whichever it is, does not play it.
mini-USB 2.0 connector: Ah! An incredible, new, unheard-of feature!
built-in GPS navigation with anticipated accuracy of around 10m (satellite signal permitting) and an installed Maps application covering over 100 countries: First of all, let me clear one thing for you. iPhone uses Google Maps to show you the traffic and directions, so it works all over the world. It is, however, not a GPS application so it does not show you your own location. This phone does. Another great feature.
TV-Out: One more good feature the iPhone lacks.
3.5 inch mini-jack connector, dedicated music buttons and camera buttons: If these are the boast-worthy features, there must be a real shortage of real features.
2.6" QVGA 240 x 320 pixel TFT 16M color display: The iPhone has a better display that also happens to be a Multi-touch enabled touchscreen.
160 MB of internal storage memory: iPhone has eight gigabytes.
64 MB of RAM: I don't care about the RAM as long as it runs fast. And this device is guaranteed to run pathetically slow.
Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR support, uPnP, infrared, UMTS, GPRS and EDGE, SIP support, BL-5F Battery with a proposed talktime of up to 6.5hrs & standby time of 220hrs: Blah blah blah!
All that in compact body of 99 mm x 20 mm x 53 mm and weight of just 120 g: A 21mm thick phone is compact! By which angle!!! You have to carry it in your pocket. It is even thicker than my W550i.
This phone's a bomb: And will cost a bomb too, probably as much as or even more than the iPhone.

I am not saying it is not a good phone, but I would never recommend such an ugly and thick phone to anybody just for a 5 MP camera, GPS and TV-out. I know it is a matter of choice and if someone prefers this one, go for it. But I just wanted to state that it looks ugly and that it does. It is one of the ugliest phones ever made.

Like playing a pipe in front of buffalo , same old thing....since it's not Apple it's not designer

2 way slide N-series: As if that matters.

Yup it does.

S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1(Symbian 9.2): It is a new phone from Nokia and it will have the latest version of Symbian. Big deal!

umm....yeah, not so big deal...but wasn’t it u who made a big deal of iPhone cos it was running "MacOS X" (striped edition)...big deal

HSDPA (3.5G) phone (category 6 HSPDA device which means it is up to 10 times faster that WCDMA (3G)): Which also means that it is useless in India at present and for a long time to come.

& also for the USA, cos 3G isn't there widespread, & since iPhone lacks it, it's not worth it.....I wonder why will Apple give it in iPhone 2.0, I mean...it's not worth while in USA right

MP3, AAC, eAAC, AAC+ and WMA files: It’s great that this phone plays a lot of formats but I can always convert my files to other formats if my phone, whichever it is, does not play it.

N95 is supposed to support OpenDRM just like W880i, which means it will play playforsure compatible files too....I guess since it's not iTunes store music....again it is not worthwhile. You can change the file format anytime...but iPhone will not play any DRM protected music other then iTunes while N95 will play from many online vendors

built-in GPS navigation with anticipated accuracy of around 10m (satellite signal permitting) and an installed Maps application covering over 100 countries: First of all, let me clear one thing for you. iPhone uses Google Maps to show you the traffic and directions, so it works all over the world. It is, however, not a GPS application so it does not show you your own location. This phone does. Another great feature.

Plz read again, Google Maps doesn't show traffic info etc in any country other than USA, & even in USA it's in test phase. In WWDC Apple said it supports Google Maps, not that it supports Real time traffic too

2.6" QVGA 240 x 320 pixel TFT 16M color display: The iPhone has a better display that also happens to be a Multi-touch enabled touchscreen.

iPhone also has 16M color display with a very strange resolution.....big deal

160 MB of internal storage memory: iPhone has eight gigabytes

Yup, for $599, which means the user must buy it even if he doesn't require it. Oh! & N95 supports memory expansion....big deal..., it's not worthwhile right.

64 MB of RAM: I don't care about the RAM as long as it runs fast. And this device is guaranteed to run pathetically slow.

Windows Vista runs slow, Windows Mobile runs slow, Linux also runs slow....& now Symbian with a 400 MHz ARM CPU will also run slow...big deal right? I forgot, it's not Fruit branded[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Saurav/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]. Care to elaborate why this device will run slow? Do have access to device...don't make false assumption & spread misinformation

Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR support, uPnP, infrared, UMTS, GPRS and EDGE, SIP support, BL-5F Battery with a proposed talktime of up to 6.5hrs & standby time of 220hrs: Blah blah blah!

How many of these feature iPhones doesn't support, many.

Like I said above, if it's not from apple camp it's ugly. (Philosophy of Mac users)

I just gave all the reasons why this phone is the God of Phones, hope this thread doesn't turns in a iPhone vs Rest all phones thread, i mean littrally....i m tired of pwning it all the times

[koolbluez]

And... one main thing ... Apple is a computer company... Nokia is a born winner among phone companies Only SonyEriccson can come close to this mobile giant (well I'm a Sony fanatic)

So... a comparision'll not b nice. We still dunno IPhones's actual performance in terms of signal reception & the likes... what an actual phone should've. But.. Nokia... it proved itself right from the beginning.

[aryayush]

I'll let you know that Nokia was actually started as a fertiliser company and then switched over to making cellular phones. At least, Apple is coming from a very related line and with such a huge reputation of making groundbreaking and spectacular products.

[koolbluez]

Just tell me one thing.... Who leads the phone industry?
Ur answer is the winner.. ok...
Case closed.

Yaar.. this is not a fight section. These posts count. U start Nokia N95 bashin in the chitchat section. I hate spammin... and so do many here.. y don't we talk about it there.
Please... thread's gettin spammed with to or against N95 or IPhone.

[mehulved]

thread cleaned.

[aryayush]

Thanks and sorry for the bother!

Thanx mehul
