Thanks very much raphb!


Some of the negs:

"although typing on the iPhone is much easier than any of Nokia's Qwerty keyboards."

"It doesn't feel quite as slick at loading pages or scrolling as these rivals - while you really need a heavy site to slow down the 3GS, but my dusty personal archive took about 20 seconds to load on the N900, which felt like ages."

"For example, the purpose of double-tapping in the iPhone's browser is not merely "zoom", but "zoom to fit" a block of text. The former may require you to faff around for ages, the latter lets you get reading much faster. Has Nokia got some cultural prejudice against both reading and writing?"

Luckily, most of the above negative comments can be addressed with software update. But what about the keyboard?

After such negative comparisons, you'd think he's an apple fanboy with nothing but good things to say about the iphones. But...

"The challenge, and it's one for almost everyone, is that punters with disposal income, who are looking for a bling gadget, either want the iPhone and iPod Touch - or already have one. That's despite the fact that Apple's finest don't really excel at any one thing except music sync."

Oh, and he didn't whine about the landscape-only operation So that's a great sign!
