IPHONE WEEK – The Rivals

07 NOV 2007
The N95 shows off its new spidey powers

If you're convinced Apple's iPhone is all hot air and hype, you'll want to take a look at these iPhone rivals. Each one packs a bunch of the iPhone's features in one way or another; some do more, some don't. Choices, eh? We love them!

Nokia’s all-singing mobile gets an 8GB upgrade. Features-wise, the new N95 embarrasses the 3G-lacking iPhone by hugging HSPDA networks, flaunting its GPS, tilting its screen and snapping away with a 5MP cam. Looks-wise it’s the other way around, even with the N95's new black paint job and Spider-Man 3 loaded on it. Topping it off, Nokia’s Series 60 homebrew scene knocks the socks off Apple and its apps.

This HTC’s touchscreen tech – known as TouchFLO – is merely a front for Windows Mobile 6 and smacks of jumping on bandwagons, to us. But it is also the sleekest Windows smartphone we’ve see; it’s perfect for syncing all your PC-based activities like Office Outlook e-mails and is great for video thanks to its bright screen. If you’re a PC user and don’t want the iPhone’s fuss, swoop for one of these on contract.
