there is no such thing as an iphone killer

the apple iphone is 3 years ahead of its time

Hmmm no java, no user replaceable battery, no 3G, no video recording... to mention a few... undoubtably the best interface on a phone ever.. just too many negatvies for me I am afraid... :)
The Nokia looks slick!!

This looks a beast of a phone and finally a true iphone killer. Key point here are:

Apparently won't be N-Series phone
Screen between 3'' and 3,5'' (16:9)
No multitouch, but tactile feedback
BT, uPnP, edge, 3g, hsdpa, wlan
camera is autofocus, but not as good as the latest n-series
gps and geotagging
it still has stylus

this will have more bugs in it than an ant colony

Mind backing up your argument with something other than Apple fanboyistic swipes?

Its not even officially announced yet so you cant make such assumptions.

Nokia confirms 'iPhone killer' handset in pipeline

oh dear oh dear

Umtsboi, you do know that this device is low to mid end yet it surpasses many of the iPhone's features...What about when the flagship touchscreen phone comes....?

[umtsboi]

its been proven time and time again its not about features, its about usability and how the phone looks, its like the megapixel count vs the quality of the lense garbage.

People rubbish the iphone saying it has crap features, if its so crap then why does every touch screen phone that comes out try to COMPETE with it and fails miserably (prada,viewty, this new nokia to name a few.

Like I said before there is no such thing as an iphone killer, simply an iphone competitor

I'd kind of go with that... the iPhone is woefully underspecced compared to, say, the N95, but the UI and the overall form factor is ground-breaking.

I'll watch Nokia's latest move with interest - if they can produce anything resembling that concept touch-phone the trotted around last year then it could be a fun year.

Wrong!!! I think the N95 proved exactly that you can make a mass market best seller by having lots of features and this was despite the poor build quality and other quirks the N95 had.

The iphone has nice usability but its lacking in features. For what it does its great but people want phones to do more than that.
