That's my feeling. Apple has just given the whole smart phone industry a wake up call when it comes to integration.
I just happen to think that all its shortcomings make it a device I don't need to own.
Reasonable. I just happen to think completely the reverse
Some reviews suggest the N95 is expensive? The N95 is $650-750. That it is expensive is self obvious, but for some people expense is not a significant consideration and only functionality and other concerns need be weighed.
That's interesting because it seems to be more expensive than the iPhone. I suppose it's only expensive if you don't feel the product is worth the price.
I have found the device UI to be quite quick and responsive at pretty much every task save picture taking. It takes 3-6 seconds after taking an image to cycle through and be ready to take another image.
That tends to be a general problem of large pixel count cameras though, needing to transfer a lot of data from the camera chip to some form of internal memory is never going to be quick.
The battery life depends greatly on how you are using it. If you are listening to mp3's, taking pictures, using Bluetooth and Wifi all the time and using the GPS, it is going to suck a lot more power than if you just use the phone as...a phone.
And the same would be true of the iPhone?
I do a fair amount of all of the above (except GPS use, really) during the day and find that putting it on the charger at night before I go to bed is usually enough to get me through the next day.
My K800i will do around 4 days before needing to be recharged but then I don't do anything with it other than a little 3g web access and calls and texts.
I would have prefered they make the device a little larger to accommodate a beefier battery and a SDHC card slot instead of the Micro SD slot , but you can't have everything I guess.
Micro SD's a dumb idea to me when SD is racing off into the distance in terms of storage. How long will be before you can run a laptop device on two or more 64gig SD cards in some form of raid configuration?
