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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
