So, are you confused which phone to buy here in India? Let me solve your problem. First, the iPhone 3G will launch on 22nd August and Nokia N96 is expected to launch in October. The 16 GB model of iPhone will cost Rs 36,100 and the N96 16 GB is expected to cost the same. Since I am comparing both the phones, you will get to know all the features of both the phones in course. Now starting with the SCREEN -- N96 has a 2.8" screen and iPhone 3G sports 3.5" wide Multi-touch screen. INTERFACE -- N96 uses alphanumeric keypads for input and Symbian S60V3 Feature Pack 2 OS and iPhone 3G uses its revolutionary Multi-touch interface. PROCESSOR -- N96 loses here openly since it has a 254 MHz whereas iPhone 3G has 528 MHz processor. CAMERA -- N96 sports a 5 MP camera with Carl-Zeiss optics, Auto-focus and dual LED flash whereas iphone has a mere 2 MP no-frills camera with no video recording. RESOLUTION -- N96 features 320*240 pixels and iphone has 480*320 pixels. APPLICATIONS -- There is a clash here. Symbian OS has thousands of apps made for it and iphone V2.0 also now has hundreds of useful and intresting apps through Apple Store including Monkey Ball, a SEGA game that you can play by tilting and tapping your iphone. ACCELEROMETER -- Both the phones have this feature but iphone's is a better one. BROWSER -- Here iphone leads with its flawless Safari browser despite the lack of flash support. MEMORY -- N96 has an external memory card slot that supports upto 32 GB cards whereas iphone does not feature one. 16 GB internal memory is common in both. LOOKS -- iphone, iphone, iphone. BATTERY -- N96 provides only 4 hrs of GSM talktime and iphone 10 hrs for the same. GPS -- Both feature A-GPS. Nokia having the advantage of preloading rich maps for Indian metros. CONNECTIVITY -- It is a factor where iphone is not poor though it loses to N96. Both feature Wi-fi b/g, 3G, HSDPA, EDGE and Bluetooth. Nokia has A2DP support for bluetooth and mini-USB port for data transfer. PRICE -- Expected to be same. MUSIC -- N96 is rich in music and videos. It supports codecs more than ever. Comes prebundled with Om Shanti Om full bolywood movie and hundreds of English and Hindi songs. But still, it is no match for the brilliant Apple iPod system built in iPhone 3G. SIZE -- N96 is truly a brick. Apple is lot slimmer and gorgeous. REVIEW IS OVER. NOW MY CONCLUSIONS. No need to further enhance this article with a bulky conclusion. Everything is clear to you. I WILL SURELY GO WITH APPLE IPHONE 3G. What you will do? Write comments generously.
