Im getting a new phone tomorrow but i dont know which is the best bettween- Nokia N95 or iphone or the Viewty!
I take alot of pictures when im out clubbing so i need the one with the best camera. Does anyone know? x

neil: have you used the iPhone for any significant amount of time or are you just repeating reports you've read?

The iPhone is fast, damn fast. The camera is great. And the interface is so far ahead of the rest it's untrue.

Having said that, the camera on the N95 is far superior. Unless it would be very useful for you to be carrying a video iPod, web and email client with you, I'd go for the N95 based on what you say.

Can you imagine being asked what phone you have and having to reply "Viewty"? The name alone is enough to disqualify it from use by anyone over the age of 7.

I agree with all of your facts.

While the N95 has a 5MP camera, Megapixels aren't everything. The lens is still very small, as is the sensor. For most, a 2MP camera (like the iPhone has) is perfectly adequate.

Where the Nokia does shine is the fact that it has a flash and better settings for the camera (well, settings). Hence, for taking lots of pictures with it, the Nokia is a better phone.

But comparing a list of specs is mostly pointless. It's what the guys at Sony and Nokia are doing right now... their phones have got a camera, check, a bright screen, check, games, check, notes application, check, etc. What they don't seem to realise is that a list of features is missing the point. It's how the features are put together that's what counts.

The iPhone has blown all other phones out of the water not because it has loads more, or even better features, but simply that it does some simple stuff very, very well. Thanks to its great interface. Sony, Nokia et al. seem to be blind to this.

Nobody got a good word for the Viewty (silly name, I must agree)? 5mp camera not to be sniffed at?

I was told neither of the viewty and the nokia N95 because they have s**t battery life. By someone from the orange shop.
I haven't looked at the iphone, but it's very expensive.

Oh you also don't need a phone with a camera over 2 mega pixels, unless you're printing the photos to go onto a massive poster.
