Drinking the iPhone Kool-Aid

12 July, 2009

in apple, nokia

As much as it pained me to sign a three year mobile contract when I’ve been without one for so long, I finally made the switch from my Nokia N82 to the iPhone 3GS.

Apple’s interface runs rings around the S60. I think even the most hardcore Nokia fan would concede that point. But where the iPhone falls flat for me is photo quality. I took the attached photo at night under low light, and the phone took forever to focus. Without a dedicated night photography setting like the N82’s, I imagine I’ll primarily shoot in sunny or bright overcast conditions. I don’t miss the flash at all (yet) because I thought the flash on the Nokia usually resulted in blown-out highlights.

I still am a great fan of Nokia phones; I hope to continue participating in the WOMWorld blogger relations program. The N86 looks like a powerhouse. But until Nokia either makes significant changes to the S60 software, I’m going to stick with my iPhone, limited feature set and all.

    Yup - I actually had it on my iPod Touch and just carried it over. It isn't that useful to me because I don't eat out much when I'm in town, but it's been very useful when traveling to other places.
  • Cecily,

    Will you be selling your N82? If so, email me, I am interested.

    ;o)
  • Grab UrbanSpoon - imagine its already got quite a base in Vancouver.
