Apple iPhone |
3 The iPhone's multimedia player is top-notch. I also love the Safari Web browser (and the Wi-Fi) and the visual voice mail. But the iPhone misses too many things--multimedia messaging, stereo Bluetooth, voice dialing, external memory, and 3G support--to win this category. What's more, its 2-megapixel camera is just average. |
3 Just like the iPod, Apple doesn't include half-baked features just for the sake of having them. Features such as the Safari Web browser and the music player are done extremely well. Unfortunately, items such as GPS, a video camera, or A2DP Bluetooth just aren't here. |
3 Sorry iPhone, you may be very pretty, but you are in serious need of a feature upgrade. The iPhone lacks even basic functionality such as MMS support and the ability to send text messages to multiple recipients. And we wish there were a video camera or stereo Bluetooth. |

Nokia N95 |
4 If it's a feature, the Nokia N95 has it. With a stunning 5-megapixel camera, stereo, integrated GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a memory card slot, and an infrared port, it's a powerful phone indeed. While it also lacks 3G and its media player doesn't quite measure up to the iPhone's, it still takes this round. |
4 The Nokia has features in spades, but they could have used some Apple designers to streamline the usability. Everything is here--it's just not pretty to look at or fun to use. |
5 You certainly can't argue that the N95 comes with a spate of features. We're talking GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, and more. |
