rise3905 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 so i'm looking at getting a new phone, tossing up between a Nokia N97 or E71 or possibly an iPhone. has anyone had any good/bad/indifferent experiences with either of these that they'd be willing to share? i'm leaning more towards the N97 though... thanks!

Just Another Tom Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am with melikecheese. I have had Nokias since the late nineties, I took an iPhone on upgrade with the intentions to sell it and stick with my old handset. I had a play with it just to see what all the hype was about, and i was instantly sold. One of the greatest phones/piece of technology i have owned.

leerobert Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 iPhone, hands down best piece of kit you will ever own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rise3905 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i don't know about the iPhone. not quite sure why but i just think they're a little overrated. i've used one a few times and sure, they're fun and all, but i just dunno.... i've read a few not so great reviews about the N97 being run on the Symbian platform which is slightly outdated. can anyone tell me in simple terms what the hell this means?!?

sonix Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 To put it simply, the iPhone is the best phone to own right now. It would take a lot to push the iPhone off its top peak. While the touch screen and the little doo dads are fun, its the software that sets the iPhone miles ahead of the competition and the apps that put it in its own class.. If you have the ability to buy an iPhone and you dont take it, you're a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impact Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 imo, better than the iphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rise3905 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i'm more after a phone-like phone, if this makes sense. like a blackberry. i know the iPhone is still a phone in every sense of the word but i'm just not sold on it. some people/reviews say they're shit, some say they're the best in the world, but it's like that with everything. i'm just trying to get a more personal opinion on mainly the other two i mentioned but i guess everyone is super pro-iphone (besides impact ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impact Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 my girlfriend has an iphone, and i have a blackberry. to me, blackberries are way more reliable, and built much better. i'd say, the only thing that the blackberry lacks, when compared to an iphone is a really good web-browser. the blackberry web-browser is still very good, but the iphone browser is better. the way i see it, is that the iphone is geared more towards consumers, while the blackberry is geared more towards business people.

melikecheese Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 As far as being geared toward consumers, yeah, probably, I now have a ipod too which is a nice bonnus to the iphone. And I use it for business all the time as it is linked to my exchange server and I run all my contacts and meetings from it and everyone in my company who has a phone for work has an iphone, not one blackberry left.
