I'm sorry, but what did your replies to my post have to with what I wrote? Seriously guys. I'm astounded at the flame wars that people start here. I made no mention of the iPhone or comparing it to any other phone other than it's predecessor, the N95-4. With that being said, My N95-4 is good but not great. It has it's faults, like any phone for that matter, but is it worth to purchase another expensive phone that, to me, is nothing more than a face lift?

Let me say this: the iPhone has great potential, but like any piece of electronic equipment, it needs time to mature. It's 2008 and who seriously still uses a 1.3mp camera? Why would you have an Exchange email account that blows away any other existing contacts you may have? My Nokia is not without faults too. The GPS/Nokia Maps is shoddy at best. Here in Boston anyway. It takes well over 15 minutes to get the moons and stars to align before I can get proper directions. The phone freezes constantly and the signing/unsigning of applications to install applications is beyond aggravating. You make do with what you have but the bitching and flaming is really getting out of control to the point where it's developing a Napoleon complex.

I digressed a bit. Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. Anyway, getting back to what I said, does anyone else see the N96 as nothing more than a very expensive face lift? What actual new features/hardware/software does it offer to warrant the purchase?
