Long before i owned a Nokia 5800, even before it was actually launched, i was crazy over iPhone (This is the blog which I read). The prime reason for this was the touch screen revolution which iPhone brought with itself. But as time progressed and there were more devices launched with touch screens, i figured out some of the major restrictions which iPhone has in terms of technology and feature support.
I being a regular user of nokia phones, owned a nokia N91 and moving on to the new iPhone had the same expectations. On an initial review itself i was disappointed for i needed a dedicated data plan with the operator for operating the iPhone. It did not support the normal gprs that i had earlier. Moreover, i came bundled with few operators and i did not have the option of an unlocked iPhone (at least in India). The camera with the iPhone did not feature a LED flash. Comparing with the Nokia 5800, it did lack a number of stuff like for a battery replacement, i needed to visit a customer care center. The Bluetooth in iPhone did not connect to other brand phones. So sharing data was a big problem when it came to multimedia files. Also, iPhone does not feature a secondary camera which comes in handy in a video call.
Comparing other features of Nokia 5800 and iPhone give the iPhone an edge over Nokia 5800 but comparing their prices, it becomes obvious for iPhone to have that edge. iPhone has better memory support and processing power and it also has a superior graphics support. There are separate groups of Nokia lovers and iPhone lovers and both the groups have their own reasons for loving these phones. Nokia is telecom giant and known for making people's phone in all categories. With phones like N900 and N97, it seems that Nokia is all set to leave the iPhone way behind. Only time will tell who wins the race.
