iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass
Dekortage writes "Prior to its much-hyped launch on June 29, Apple has announced upgrades to its battery life (almost 40% more than originally announced) and scratch resistance (using "optical quality glass" rather than plastics). The announcement also includes a comparison chart pitting the iPhone against smartphones from Nokia, Samsung, Palm, and Blackberry."
TomTom is much better for in car navigation than any cell phone could be.
You are aware that TomTom also uses GPS?
iPhone is great and all, but as long as they are paired up with ATT, I'm not touching them. Hell, given the price tag, I wouldn't touch them anyway. But ATT? No thanks
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
No 3G = No Iphone. This is a dealbreaker.
nuts to wifi and gps, I need speed. I use it as a dsl modem on the freeway baby.
GPS is not the N95's killer app. GPS is just the next essential phone feature. Nokia got it first cuz Nokia is better than everyone else, including Apple. No news here.
N95s are cool cuz they do everything better than every other current phone, including the iPhone, period. N95s also have video output which seems potentially quite important.
But N95s are kinda clunky and short on battery life. Otoh Apple's iPhone is actually physically larger in your pocket. Apple's chart is obviously biased to avoid admitting that their phone is larger in other dimensions.

Guys, I'm not a fanboy of any of these phones. I'd love to have an iphone or even a blackjack for that matter, but the chart Apple is showing was simply a marketing ploy. I made a new and improved chart with just three phones for simplicity, but it shows the Iphone, the Nokia N95 and the Samsung Blackjack. It adds the weight, the true maximum talk time (not apples version of N95 or blackjack talk time and other stuff like data speed etc. Let me know what you guys think. I'll add some other phones to the chart later today. http://brentevans.blogspot.com/2007/06/chart-apple -forgot-to-release-on-iphone.html
