N95 vs. iPhone

iPhone: Slick, candy sweet user interface on lickable form factor, but with pre-war spec. No 3G? And a 2mp camera? Don't they come free with breakfast cereal?
N95: Bang up to date shiny tech-fest but a tad on the clunky side.
Discuss.

i-Phone
PROS:
Slimmer
Shinny (bling)
Cool User Interface (multi-touch)
Connectivity to I-tunes (with a pc)
Possible that the SW is more stable (but who knows)
Expected good audio/video quality
CONS:
No 3G
No i-tunes on device
Need a PC or Mac to manage the content
Not easy to use eyes-free
two handed operation
Not possible to change battery
Not possible to add memory
Mono speaker?
Closed OS
Global availability?
How good it is as a phone?
No WMA or WMV support
Pretty much locked to Apple products/services
N95
PROS:
Available Now
Possible to buy unlocked
Can work with WMP10/11, Nokia PCSuite or as mass storage
3G worldphone
Stereo speakers
Possibility to add more memory (memory cards)
Possibility to change the battery or carry extra batteries
Extended Codec support (WMA, aac, mpeg4, etc)
TV-out
uPNP
Dedicated media keys
Standard USB connector (no need for special cables)
Open S60 OS, 1000s of applications
Single hand usage
GPS integrated
Navigation
Good audio/video quality
5 MP Carl Zeiss camera
ETc, etc, etc
CONS:
Bit on the bulky side
uSD card support only to 2GB?
There is no kitchen sink included
You can probably add more things, but I would say that the iPhone is not in the same space as the N95. Maybe you could compare the iPhone to an N73ME maybe, but before it can take on the N95 it has to improve its feature set. IMHO

  • IPhone loses signal for several minutes?

    I had AT&T before I got my iPhone and I know of certain areas around my neighborhood where the signal is weak. My old phone would sometimes drop a call in those areas, but seconds later, the signal meter would start to refill as I drove into a stronger signal area. With my iPhone, it completely loses the signal and displays "No Service" in the upper left of the screen. However, even as I pass into an area that I know has a better signal, it will stay on "No Service" for about 2-4 minutes before it finally finds the signal again! Anyone else notice this?

    More information on my reception problems. I am now absolutely convinced that it is a either a tower problem or a SIM problem - AT&T problem not strictly iPhone. I spent several hours today swapping SIM cards around between the iPhone, Nokia N95 and Nokia E61. In all cases I did the testing in exactly the same location within our house. Here are the results:
    iPhone: Signal strength varies from No Service to full bars at this single location in a random, completely unpredictable way. While on a call signal strength was 4 bars and during the conversation dropped to No Service and call dropped. Later my wife called and was sent immediately to voice mail. She then called me on the landline and I checked the signal and it showed No Service. When it goes to No Service it sometimes takes a few minutes to re-acquire just like others have reported here.
    N95 with iPhone SIM card: Signal strength varies from one bar to full bars in a random, completely unpredictable way. But never actually lost service. I tried several Edge data connections and while slow when signal was low none failed. I do not remember seeing this random fluctuation in signal on the N95 before with my old (pre iPhone) Cingular SIM card but perhaps it was there and since it was still usable I just didn't notice.
    E61 with iPhone SIM card: Pretty much the same behavior as N95 except no full bar signal strength showed. Completely usable.
    I realize that the iPhone will probably never get as good reception as the Nokias but I think if it would quit the signal strength variation or tower hopping or what ever it is doing it would be usable at even 1-3 bars if the signal remained steady.
    As another point of information in case Cingular and T-Mobile are sharing towers at my location, I returned my T-Mobile SIM card to my N95 and tested it in the same location as before and it showed a consistent full bars with no variation and perfect operation.
    Unless something good happens to solve this problem soon, I think that when I find a reliable method or service that will unlock the iPhone I am going to do it and go with T-Mobile. AT&T is not ready for dependable operation at my location with the iPhone.

  • What is displayed in Standby

    Hi - I'm thinking of changing from my N95 to iPhone. If I'm away from my N95 for a few mins (or its on Silent) and miss a call or get a text, the standby screen displays a little icon to let me know. Its handy so that I can glance at the standby screen without touching the phone, or just fish it out of my pocket - check it - and see if there is anything I've missed.
    Does the iPhone do anything similar? Or would I have to unlock it each time to see?
    Cheers
    Andy

    With the iPhone, the screen is dark on standby. The next time you use the phone, with either the main button or the top button, the screen will turn on and you will see a message about missed calls, voicemails, messages, etc. You do not have to unlock it to see this.

  • Nokia N95 calendar transfer to Iphone

    Does anybody know if there is an easy way to transfer my calendar from N95 to my Iphone? Or do I really have to do it all by hand?

    The easiest way will be to sync your N95 to Outlook, transferring all the contact and calendar details over. From there, just sync your iPhone to Outlook and it will transfer these details back to the iPhone.

  • Iphone, after a nokia n95

    I have seen many comparaison threads between N95 and the Iphone.
    Many people are complaining about the fact that the Iphone doesn't have all the features that the N95 has.
    I have add the N92 for a couple of months now....
    When this phone works, it does the job nicely. the OS is simple enough, easy all around, lots of features, all works fine...
    Thats until the phone starts restarting once a day, until you try and upgrade the software, backing up your phone, restore and realised that all your settings have gone together with contacts, messages and emails, until some applications such as Web stop loading...
    This phone is full of bugs. the OS is badly written and the software update even worse...
    To all those who complain that the Iphone doesn't support 3g, and other bits... I have not seen any rumours, threads about the OS being flaky and not working as it shoudl....
    When the Iphone comes out in my country, I will get it, no doubt... because Apple certainly can writte a SOLID OS that works, and make our life easier...
    the N95 is going in the bin as soon as!
    S.

    N91 is better in the audio department.
    N91 has higher output power
    N91 has better frequency response (from very low frequencies to very high)
    N91 has better SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio, also because it has more output power)
    N91 has better THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
    N91 has better response at very low frequencies (10-80 Hz range) thus is much better at outputing bass (not through the internal speaker but through the 3.5 mm connector)
    N91 has better playback time.
    N91 comes with 4GB or 8GB.
    I have played with both the N91 and the N95, don't get me wrong, the N95 is not bad, but the N91 is better (WRT audio).
    Of course the technical differences in the end mean nothing and unless you really want the best sounding device, then N95 may be good enough for you.
    The N91 is not fragile, but it doesn't 'like' some of the third party apps. and that's when you start having probs.

  • IPhone or N95?

    Ok so my main aim is to get a phone with wireless capabililty. Not too bothered about the rest, but the 5megapixel camera on the N95 seems good too. Apart from the usual apple software, itunes, syncing etc. What has the iPhone got that is so good? Especially to justify spending a few hundred pounds?! Another important question: I see the iPhone can't view flash pages - does anyone know if the N95 can? Surely if so, it would be another plus for the nokia? screen is good on iphone though

    I don't know anything about the ability to view flash material between the two phones, but I think what apple has that is appealing is the "ease of use." That along with the design I think would give the iPhone an edge. The fact that you can sync music, photos, and other things easily makes it a very attractive product. Having an iPhone myself I would say from personal experience that the iPhone does everything that I want it to do and more. Hope this helps.

  • N95 8 GB VS iPHONE

    Hello to all,
    I looked in search and found comparison between the old N95 to the iPhone.
    Part of the "con" on the N95 changed in the 8GB model -like battery time etc.
    Any update comparison between the two last models?
    tnx.

  • Iphone in Great Britian discovers Apple tech problem - Signal Strength -

    November 25, 2007
    Signal trouble: British iPhone mystery
    Is O2’s network to blame, or Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone?
    That’s the question posed by more than a few British iPhone owners who purchased the device in the past two weeks and have been struggling ever since to get decent telephone reception on it.
    The problem surfaced two days after the phone went on sale in the U.K. when “Matlock” in Derbyshire started a discussion thread on Apple’s support board entitled “UK 02 (poor signal strength/reception problems)”:
    My iphone can barely pick up even the slightest signal, although on occasion can pick up 3 ars, only for it to drop out again. I have two other 02 phones, a Sony Erricson and a Nokia n95 with no reception problems at all. Is anyone experiencing same problem with their iphone, I would like to hear from you. (link)
    Two weeks later, Matlock’s query has received more than 100 replies (and 3,723 pageviews), most of them registering similar complaints. Some users found that reinstalling the software made a difference. When others returned their phones for new ones, the problem went away (although some reported that the new phones were no better).
    Definitive U.K. sales figures are not available, but O2 reported that it sold “tens of thousands” of iPhones the first weekend it was available.
    Several posters on the Apple discussion board volunteered that unlike the complainants, they were getting great reception on their iPhones. And many owners with signal problems expressed pleasure with how well the device performed its other functions.
    But unlike American iPhone owners, who tend to blame any reception headaches on AT&T’s (T) cellular network, the assumption in the U.K. seems to be that the signal problem is Apple’s. The impression is reinforced by O2, which has been referring callers directly to the manufacturer.
    One clue is that many British iPhone owners can, like Matlock, compare the signal strength on their iPhone with other cellphones using the same network (one user even posted photos showing the phones side by side). Another is that the indicator on the iPhone tends to jump to five bars as soon as it is placed in the charging dock, which suggests that the problem is battery related. As user Richard Catledge points out:
    It says in the manual that phone signal is adjusted to the minimum power when not in use, just enough to detect the incoming pings, then it will power up to get the best quality call. It is digital, so as long as the signal power is strong enough to reconstruct at the other end, more power is pointless. I suspect this is what you are seeing, or a slightly flakey implementation.
    Meanwhile, the consensus on the discussion board is that unhappy owners should let Apple know. Writes one user who posts as ::…SAM…::,
    The only way to get anything done about it is if people that have poor signal problems is to take your phone back and get it replaced. The more phones they get back, the sooner they will do something to fix the problem. Emails and complaints are fine, they can be put in a folder, high handset return numbers cant be so easy to hide under the rug.
    Thanks to InformationWeek’s Alexander Wolfe for the link. See his report here.
    Filed

    Interesting post. My previous phone was an 02 XDA Exec, a smart phone based upon a common handset (forget which one), but the smart phone before that was the same. They all had one thing in common - poor reception.
    tbh, I think its an inherent problem with smart phones. However, with my iPhone I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary really. Its better than the XDA, at least the iPhone doesn't drop out completely!
    But compare it to a normal handset and the normal handset will normally have a much better reception strength.

  • How to connect my laptop to the internet using my iphone?

    Hello,
    I've just change from my former Nokia N95 to the iphone 4 (on Tmobile Germany) and I'm totally thrilled because this new device is just fantastic!
    However, I could easily connect my macbook via bluetooth to connect to the internet occasionally. I couldn't yet figure out how I can achive this with my iphone?
    Any hints would be very welcome!
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks a lot for your hints.
    However, I still don't quite get it.
    The links you stated say that I would have to contact my carrier to enable a certain "Tethering"-option, whatever that is. This would cost me another 5€ extra per MONTH for an option that I probably don't need at all - I don't need tethering or anything, just internet-dialup.
    I guess they can't charge a monthly fee for a phone feature
    To make it clear:
    I don't need extra data volume (I got a flat already), so there is no need upgrade my tariff. I only want to connect my phone to my macbook and to dialup to the internet, just like I did with my former phones.
    No "Tethering" or whatever needed, just Internet dial-up. How do I do that?
    Thanks in advance!!

  • My review: N95 Firmware v20, one day old!

    Well - I have flashed the firmware and been using my "new" (for it certainly seems like a new phone) N95 all day now. It has only crashed once (curiously enough clicking on the top right link on the http://mosh.nokia.com page, a small green right-facing arrow). I certainly can't claim that level of stability with my desktop PC... so my one crash is par for the course, and very impressive indeed!
    As many people have mentioned, there is a lot more free RAM now. Exactly how much is really immaterial as it is the enhanced capability of the phone which has resulted from this boost that matters. As a pretty exhaustive test I did the following:
    Whilst on speaker phone to my business partner he sent me an email to my Hotmail account.
    I opened up the messaging app and went to my Windows Live mail box.
    I opened the email and downloaded an 85k Word document attachment on it.
    The QuickOffice viewer opened the Word file.
    Within the Word file was a web link - I needed to look at this and so copied it to the clipboard.
    Returning to the menu I opened the browser and navigated to the link from the clipboard. The page was laden with graphics and a tonne of text. I zoomed to 50% and scanned through to read the information I needed.
    Leaving the browser open, and just for the hell of it, I went to the menu and launched Widsets which duly connected to my WLAN and loaded up my widgets. I scrolled to the Darla Mack Mobile blog widget and opened it up, selecting the first story within (about the v20 firmware, of course!). This news post had a 70% of screen sized image on the page too.
    Throughout all of this I changed screen orientation a number of times using both the slider and the option in the browser's menu. I also had a call blacklist application, as well as the excellent MobiGenie voicemail application running in the background at all times.
    Before I closed everything down, I loaded Y-Task's memory module to see how much RAM was free - 6.7M of free RAM!!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!
    I'd just like to say to anyone anywhere who has ever harboured or proffered the opinion that "it's a phone, it's not meant to do all that" or some variant thereof - what absolute rubbish! This new firmware has made the phone multi-taskable to such an extent that at last, the N95's slogan "it's what computers have become" can at last ring true!!
    As for battery usage improvements, the fullness of time will reveal whether it really makes an impact. In the mean time, today, I have tested it as follows:
    I have performed a firmware upgrade(!)
    I took three backups on PC Suite via content copier
    Used USB Mass transfer to copy 370MB of data from my memory card, via the phone
    Installed 30 applications to the phone
    Restored data to the phone (and subsequently reformatted the phone!) 3 times
    Played with the web browser for 50+ mins on WiFi.
    Chatted on MSN Messenger for around 30 minutes
    Took 8 photos at 5MP each, most with flash
    Played around in general with the phone for about 3 hours, on and off
    Performed the aforementioned uber-test on the phone
    Spoken in total for (according to my log) 2h09m
    Sent 9 text messages
    Watched one streaming video from my gallery, lasting 6 mins
    My battery has JUST, after all of that, hit the low battery warning. I think that you'll agree that's an impressive performance for the N95. This is all with the phone set to lowest brightness, non 3G mode etc. to conserve maximum power of course, so that extra jolt of power that the N95 8Gb batteries have would still not go amiss... I suspect that I'd have been able to do a lot less if I was using high speed mobile networks for the data tasks I listed above.
    The camera is also very much improved, about 3-4 times faster overall. It seems to produce better quality images with finer resolution of individual pixels. I think (?) they have increased focal length on macro shots from 10-40cm to 60cm (I could be wrong there). The update massively reduced shot-to-shot time and the simple addition of the processing image message really improves the process no end, curiously enough! Also, there is funny gray line grid mode (er, what's this acutally for??).
    There are numerous tweaks here and there, like new sub-folders in the menus (very handy indeed) and new versions of some apps.
    There are some rather glaring omissions however:
    Nothing has been done with the accelerometer functions, no auto-rotate or tilt-navigation (a la RotateMe / Nokmote).
    Videos and photos are still grouped together in the gallery and the 'albums' feature feels a bit like an afterthought (at the very least I would expect folders or album icon or something to show up in the photo/video stream).
    There is still no control over compression of JPEG images from the camera (although this will probably be a minor issue to many).
    The slider menu (which Darla Mack quite rightly commented on) from the N81 which allows you to set up how the slider action causes your phone to behave - where is it? This is such an obvious requirement for the N95 and has been the frequent cause of complaints on many forums since the N95's launch
    There are a number of applications / software features, for example the multimedia menu, which are already present on other phones which have not been included here. Indeed I believe that some of the core apps from the N95 8GB are more advanced still... given the mess Nokia made of the N95-1 it would seem only courteous to have provided a full set of the latest core apps and menus
    There are many other niggles, but I'm going to leave those ones down to personal tastes. That and the fact that I'm a software designer myself, so I'm always likely to think I can see a better way to do it!
    To sum up, this firmware update was very much needed and overdue. Nokia's handling of this issue and of it's customers has been appalling. Making people wait for 5 months without word, having superceded a very flawed and expensive phone was not, under any stretch of the imagination, a good way to go about things.
    Now that it v20 is here, the N95 flies! It is suddenly reborn and I'm so glad I own it now. It works beautifully and is so stable... it really is a pleasure to use now. I'm glad of my memory card slot and camera lens cover - I wouldn't trade this up for an N95 8gb or anything else I've seen on the market now! (yes that includes you iPhone!! ;P )
    My final thought on all of this? Thank Jebus they fixed the infernal keypress bug!!! XD

    To be fair, this update addresses nearly all of the concerns that we've had. It specifically addresses the top 2 concerns - memory handling and the poor performance of the camera application, slow load times and processing times.
    There are a bunch of other updates as well which are just icing on the cake.
    I think through 3rd party programs you can achieve most of what you are trying to do. I'm sure the n95 will recieve yet another update. The attention they have put into updating the phone to support the music store and ngage means that it will recieve additional bug fixes, especially once they begin to get a revenue stream from these new services being launched in december.
    I think the n95 if anything has been shown to be a winning device. I believe it will continue to have Nokia's support due to the fact that it is one of the most capable devices in the lineup. I believe the 5 month development time since the last update is due to how comprehensive the overhaul of the firmware has been. Now that version 20 is out, we will see smaller incremental updates. The tough part (overhauling the memory system and operating system, better battery management etc) is over.
    I'm really enjoying my device now.

  • Problems on iphone 3G after the install of the the new OS4 & OS 4.0.1

    Dear All,
    Please find below a list of problems that I now have with my iphone after updating to the new operating system.
    1) NO WIFI
    2) NO GPS
    3) BLACKED OUT PICTURES IN CAMERA ROLL AND PHOTOS
    4) VERY SLOW TO ANSWER CALLS
    5) PHONE IS VERY SLOW TO LOAD APPS
    6) BATTERY NOW IS DEAD AFTER 3PM AFTER A FULL CHARGE OVER NIGHT AND NO USAGE.
    When I first got the iphone it really was amazing although the connectivity of the phone was not as good as my last phone it was still the best phone I have ever had. I was amazed at all the apps and how easy it was to use. It really was the best phone you could buy. There has been nothing wrong with my phone for over a year now and I have not had one complaint, until now. This new update has destroyed my phone. I had my car broken into and I had my TomTom stolen just as I got the phone. So to save money I installed a sat nav system to the iphone. This worked perfectly and I have been very happy with it as I use it for work all the time going to places that I have never been to before. This is now useless as the GPS no longer gets a signal. I will now have to get a TomTom as I have to have a sat nav for work and I have no idea when Apple will sort this out....if ever. I also go Geocaching and that uses the GPS as well, that is now on hold until works. For work I have to be in contact all the time and this is done through e-mail, updating apps, listening to the radio, watching video's and getting the weather is all done through my WIFI at home that I can no longer connect to unless I am sitting on the router. I then went to show some friends of mine some photo's that I had taken only to find that the photo's that I wanted where just black blocks.
    I have always shouted about how good this phone is and that there is nothing that it can't do, if you need it to do something there will be an app for that, well is there an app for taking back to the old operating system???? I can't believe that Apple has done this! I am so close to going back to my old phone that is the Nokia N95... at least I can get WIFI and GPS with that. I am so disappointed with this phone right now it's to the point that that I'm embarrassed to get my iphone out in case someone asks me to show them something and it won't work. I never thought I would be making excuses for Apple.
    I am now hearing all kinds of things about the Apple iphone 4 and that worries me as my contract is up for renewal in August, and I was going to get the new iphone 4 but now I think I might go back to Nokia or even blackberry.
    Apple, this really is very poor work, this phone was a revolution and took the world by storm. I fear now that you have lost your edge in the market and are going to get a very bad reputation very quickly and Blackberry will just take over. Software must be tested fully before releasing it this is the same with the new phones. People would rather wait a year to get a phone that works and is right with no problems rather then get a phone that just more problems than it is worth. To me its sounding very much like Microsoft. This is their trick....send it out and let the public tell us what's wrong, then we will take ages trying to fix it.
    Please can you look into this ASAP as I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who have the same problem as me and really want to get them sorted sooner rather than later, even if this means changing the phone back to the old operating system until you have this one sorted. At least the old one worked.
    Also, an idea of how long it will be until this gets sorted would be great news, if it will only be a few weeks I'm sure I could sort something out but if I have no idea I will be forced into making a big change. As I say I will be upgrading my phone soon and I would like to stay with Apple and be a loyal customer but I fear if there is no feed back and this is not sorted I will be going to another phone.
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT APPLE IS TRYING THERE HARDEST TO FIX THE ASAP AND THAT THIS BLOG IS BEING TAKEN NOTICE OF.
    many thanks for your time and effort in this matter, I hope to hear from your very soon.
    Ian Davis

    You're in a mess because you installed two pieces of software that have not been released yet and are still in beta. If you were a registered developer(I'm guessing you're not) you'd have access to the developer forums to post your question. You're only solution is to wait until the software is OFFICIALLY released or use google & hope you don't end up making your phone permanently inoperable.

  • Bluetooth n95 not working with headset

    i have recently bought the motorola s9 bluetooth stereo headset. there are a couple of problems. it works fine to connect for the first time using the code on the phone. then if i turn the headset off and on it connects and immediatly disconnects. this is a problem but not a major one.
    the biggest problem is the music cuts out all the time for a couple of seconds. i have tried placing the phone right next to the headset and it stil happens. i have read the other n95 forums and see this is very common with the new firmware (i had already installed new firmware so i dont know if this happened on the old firmware).
    does anyone else have this problem with another headset or can anyone give me a solution. how often does firmware come out. and is it possible to delete the new firmware.

    Same problem here, unfortunately - iPhone 3G & 3.0 do not work with both the SHB6100 and SHB7100 by Philips.
    Philips SHB6100 + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP *does not work*
    Philips SHB6100 + Nokia and SE phones: A2DP works
    Philips SHB6100 + MacBook Leopard: A2DP works
    Sony DR-BT30Q + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP works
    Complaining here, however, is not really going to help as these are user to user forums and there is nothing users can do to fix this. Please report this issue at the Apple iPhone Feedback page @ http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

    Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.
