The guys at symbianguru have great spoofs off Apple’s Mac vs. PC commercials, although this time, its Nokia N95 vs. Apple iPhone.  I suggest you watch them.  Those of you in China, Typepad (where symbianguru is hosted) is blocked (no surprise), so below are the YouTube links.

  1. N95 vs. iPhone – MMS
  2. N95 vs. iPhone – Camera
  3. N95 vs. iPhone – Internet
  4. N95 vs. iPhone – GPS
  5. N95 vs. iPhone – Going to China?
  6. N95 vs. iPhone – ??? (Not posted yet)

I suggest we all stop for a moment, step back, take a deep breath, and start using our brains.  The iPhone is all hype – been there, done that.  It doesn’t provide any tangible technological advances that you won’t see on any other phone.

It’s typical Apple style – “let’s market eye candy” to make up for the technological deficiencies.

I’m glad I live in China where I am not bombarded with the iPhone hype at every street corner.

    Impressed that you are qualified to compare iPhone and N95, prior to the iPhone’s release later today (29 June) in US.

    I can only assume that you are a specially selected reviewer.

    Until I read your post I thought that only 4 carefully selected tech journalists (all Apple aficionados) had been given the chance to take an advanced look at the iPhone. Comforting that Apple has opened this up to the unconverted.

    As you will know, by contrast the N95 has been on the market since last September.

    Ben,

    The N95 was on the market… but as a DEMO, not the final product, why 9 months later the iPhone cames with this mobile, which by the way the only nice thing what it has is the touch screen!
