I agree that technically there are some good devices out there-- but in 18 months when Apple has the market completely wrapped up what's the point?

- andr 18y agoLast time I checked Nokia N95's were outselling the iPhone considerably, even as there is hardly any advertising in the US (1), none of the carriers sell it and the price is significantly higher. And that's just one model. (*) A non-geek friend told me she thought Nokia was bankrupt, because she hadn't heard anything about them for a while.
- BrandonM 18y agoHonestly? What echo chamber do you live in? I don't know anyone who owns or is even considering buying an iPhone.
- martey 18y agoI only know one person who owns a Nokia smartphone (and at least eight who have iPhones). He bought it last summer (when the cheapest iPhone was $499) for $200. Since he wanted cheap email on the go, the iPhone was too expensive for him. I have read a lot of articles about the fact that the iPhone now includes GPS is a game-changer, but I think that the price cut to $199 is more important.
