Apple iPhone Vs Nokia N97 Comparison Review

A new smartphone in the Nokia N-series will be coming out in January '09, the Nokia N97, and already all the buzz is whether or not this will be the iPhone Killer that's been prophesied for so long. Here is a heads-up on how the two devices stack up.

On the face of it, the Nokia N97 looks more like the iPhone than any other Nokia to date. It's got the slender candybar shape (more slender than the iPhone's, in fact) the minimalist buttons (two instead of one) and the 3.5" touchscreen occupying the bulk of the face. In the hand, you come to realize that, while slimmer, the N97 is also thicker and heavier than the iPhone.

While possessing the same size touchscreen as the iPhone, the N97's screen resolution puts the iPhone's to shame, with 16:9 true widescreen (640 x 360 pixels) to the iPhone's 3:2 (320 x 480). So for multimedia and video playback, gaming, and photo managing, the N97 comes out well on top of the iPhone.

And whereas both the iPhone and the N97 support most audio and video formats, the N97 has the added advantage of supporting Flash Lite, Flash Video and Windows Media 9. This Flash support is not to be undervalued, as it will allow N97 users to render web pages a lot more completely than the iPhone 3G is currently able. The iPhone also lacks browser-based Java support; the N97 may or may not, it is still unclear.

The digital camera on the Nokia N97 is also far superior to the iPhone's (and to those of most other smartphones currently on the market) with 5-megapixels, Carl Zeiss optics, an LED flash, and DVD-quality video recording with built-in video lighting. The iPhone still has that meager 2-megapixel relic with neither a built-in flash nor manual focus.

The N97 also beats the iPhone in memory - both in the way of onboard storage (32 GB vs. 8 GB or 16 GB) and expandable memory (up to the 16 GB extra vs. none at all).

The most noticeable difference between the N97 and the iPhone is that the Nokia has a slideout QWERTY keyboard in addition to its Apple-comparable touchscreen keypad.

Both the iPhone and the Nokia N97 have built-in GPSs (the iPhone's including 3rd party geo-location apps and GoogleMaps, the N97's including an electronic compass and NokiaMaps). Both have HSDPA, Bluetooth, and WiFi connectivity.

No one can expect, however, that the Nokia store will ever be able to offer N97 users the range and variety of smartphone apps that the iTunes App Store offer iPhone users.

Though prices have yet to be released, particularly in US dollars, it seems clear at least that the Nokia N97, with all its advantages over the iPhone, will also cost more to purchase than the iPhone.

The Apple iPhone Review

Iphones are the multimedia-enabled phones having the best features. Even the hardware provided with it is the best one. Lets start with the battery. Its battery has the 2-year warranty, but if it is not working properly then it is replaced by the company. If you want to increase the warranty period of the battery then it is extendible to one year. But after one year if your battery meets to a failure then you have to call for a new battery and for this you have to pay $70 USD (cost of the battery) and $6.95 USD shipping cost. The quality of the battery is best and it is said that after the full recharge it has the capacity to give 80% output.

Now, lets discuss something about the sim. SIM is not inserted in iphones because they are designed to use only AT & T network. But then also there are some unlocked Iphones, which supports the SIM. So in these iphones SIMs are inserted from upper side. This is suggested that not to use unlocked iphones because in future when you want to install some application on your iphone then the iphone software blocks your iphone.

Iphones comes with two memory capacities one is 4gb and the other is 8gb. The Samsung manufactures these both. Now iphones are also awailabele with the memory of 16gb. The one-negetive point, which associates with the Iphone, is that its memory is extendible.

Iphones has their own operating system iphone OS. This iphone OS is same as MAC OS X. But for iphones we have to write different code for software, as we cannot use the same code used in the MAC OS X. for instance safari web browser is a web browser used in the OS of iphones.

There are many applications which are installed in the iphone some of them are camera, calendar, you tube, map, weather clock, notes etc. In this you tube is used to view movies and video. To use this applicaton you have to install the quick time player and attach your iphone with wi-fi. Iphones are also enabled for third party installations i.e. the other software are also installed in the iphone. Updates are also present for iphones which includes phone upgrades, patches and many more. In this way we got many features with iphones and you want to move with the world then you have to buy an iphone.
