Apple’s Iphone has been standing as the #1 for a pretty long time. Although the competing brands released a lot of competitors, none of them made to even stand close to the iphone. But now the competition is getting a little tight. All the companies are releasing their own flagship devices to destroy the monopoly of iphone at #1 position. So we thought it would be nice if we could compare the Mighty Iphone with the Nokia’s latest sensational device N900. So let’s take a round up. Here we go,
Round 1: Who’s got the Sexy ??
Cell phones are also considered as a fashion statement today. “Moreover the beauty of a thing liesin the eyes of the beholder” so we leave that to you ;-).
Round 2: Features
Iphone has got a 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches touch screen display while nokia boasts of a whopping 800 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches touch screen display. Now thats a display which you can’t stop starring at.
Nokia n900 also sports a full QWERTY physical keyboard which iphone does not. But that keeps iphone slimmer than the n900.
Both phones have 256 mb ram but iphone has got a fixed size storage of 16gb/32gb compared to n900 32gb internal+ upto 16gb card support. let’s not also not forget the virtual memory of n900 which brings a total of 1gb ram. Now that would be ideal for any power multitasker.
Talking about multitasking, iphone fails miserably here as it follows one app at a time style compared to n900.
Both the phones have Arm Cortex A8 processors which brings a tie. But when it comes to OS, we have no doubt that iphone 3gs is the clear winner with iphone os 3.0. But that would be too early to say. Let’s wait and see.
Coming to photo and video capabilities, n900 takes the lead with a 5mp camera with dual led flash over the iphone’s 3gs’ 3.2mp camera without flash. N900 again takes video in WVGA(848 x 480)@25fps while iphone records video in VGA @ 30fps. Camera and video samples are to be compared before we can take a decision. Hardware wise, n900 wins. Performance wise, ????
N900 also features a FM-transmitter which is absent in iphone. TV-Out is possible in both but cable has to be purchased separately for iphone.
Apps are as important as any other feature. And you all know who tops here. Now we know maemo is a linux based os. So it has a large developer community and may be sometime they might become a competiton to App store.
Round 3: Connectivity
Iphone 3gs supports HSDPA upto 7.2mbps while N900 supports HSDPA upto 10mbps. Both phones have wifi, A-GPS, bluetooth and no infrared.
N900 also has radio which iphone lacks.
Round 4: Who is the Winner ????
We have seen in some rounds n900 took the lead while in some iphone. Now the question is which of these matters to you as everyone has their own taste and who is your winner ??

Please note: Some features like price, mms, contract etc were not mentioned as these varies in many countries.
