Nokia today reveal the new high-end multimedia cellphones, Nokia N79 and N85. This two new models of Nokia units will be battling against Apple’s iPhone 3G. The prize of the Nokia N79 is about $515 (Php23,000+-) while Nokia N85 is about $662 (Php30,000+-). We already know the features of iPhone 3G (click the link if you want to read about the iPhone 3G features) so I will just compare the other two new Nokia units.
Let us start with Nokia N79. N79 is a monoblock multimedia cellphone that weighs about 97g. Its maximum memory capacity is about 4G micro SD card and uses S60 3rd edition as its software platform. It has a 50MB internal user memory. It has a 5 megapixel camera and it can be changed with different available Xpress-on smart covers. Nokia N85 on the other hand is a two way slide unit that weighs about 128g. Its maximum memory capacity is 80G micro SD. Same as N79, N85 has a 5 megapixel camera but with 20x zoom capacity. These are both available by October in other countries but it is not yet available in the Philippines as this time. Both of this high-end phones are still using keypads to operate with the exception of N85 that aside from keypad, it uses Navi wheels for its navigation.
Well, I can’t afford to buy them but still if I will ask which of this 3 phones I will chose, I will still prefer iPhone 3G. But this might change my mind if I will find out that Nokia’s first ever Touch Screen “Tube” is better than Apple’s touch phone. Let just see about this future Nokia touch screen and according to them they will introduce this new phone this year. Hmn, let us find out it later!
This comparison looks somewhat unfair. Because when it comes to iPhone 3G you should only compare it to other Touch UI phones. From Nokia, 5800 Xpress Music and N97 are the only phones that can be compared to iPhone 3G. 5800 is just a simple touch phone but have limited features so it’s obviously not better than iPhone. But N97 is an outstanding phone from Nokia and in my opinion it is way better than iPhone with its compatibility with wide range of applications and games.
very interesting, waiting for the N97, but till now the iphone remains my best choice
this new nokia touch screen is shit it is 3.2 megapixel but the n85 has 5 migapixel n85 has a keypade and all programms and apps work on it like msn but the 5800 is
deletedI like Nokia’s the Iphone never impressed me there are way better phones out there.
I really like iPhone but what I don’t like about it is its price.
