dogmann,
very good analysis/comparison. yet, you did not mention anything on the music playback, and I guess some would like to know about that as well.

well, as well as MP3 it supports WMA so I simply plugged my 2gb transflash that I was using on my TyTN straight into the N95 and it plays all my music

The standby screen has an entru which gives direct access to the player, or you can press and hold the right gallery button to get in there

Once in there you get a similar breakdown choice as the W950 (a bit more actually)

i.e. All Songs, playlists, artists, albums, genres, composers

in any of these you can mark tracks you want to play, add to playlist etc and it has a submeu for album art

of course there is also shuffle, repeat, equaliser, visualisation etc too

but best of all, its very loud through the stereo speakers

no complaints here with the music player

The N95 has the best stereo sound and is the loudest I have ever heard on a Mobile phone!!

There is a message tone (not sure what it's called) it sounds like a fast car/ bike or maybe an arrow - the way it travels from one speaker to another is awesome! And the equaliser works a treat too

@Masseur,

Does the equaliser allow you to set up your own presets as it does on the N93? As you can see from my Sig i use a Nokia adapter that allows me to plug in my own headphones and i have to tell you I recently tested a W950 and W880 the sound from the Nokia is louder 40-50% is more than loud enough where the Walkman needed much more volume and was not as loud or clear IMHO. There is no way i consider i need a Music Player or Video player as the N93 does both these extremely well and as the N95 shares the same processor and graphics chips would imagine performance is similar.

As a side note have to say these Shure EC2 headphones make the E71's sound like the freebie you get with the phone really quite stunned at the difference.

i dont like nokia n series symbian OS. but i like the hardware technologies it has to offer.

I dont like the design.


I like p990i
It has touchscreen, and i need a touchscreen based pda
i like the design, style. its a better mix w/ sense of fashion than n95

some missing features like gps, 5mp, and high speed hsda support.. but oh well..

you pay for what you get=)

Why stupid Nokia developers did not make the N95 with TOUCHSCREEN? It
is taking the device way back behind P990i. N95's "5MP" camera does not impress at all.

@suland


For a very good reason Nokia don't use a touchscreen UI and not everyone wants or needs a touchscreen. Many smart phone users are perfectly happy with a better screen in there non touchscreen smart phones it really is as simple as that.

Personally i moved from UIQ and touchscreens only last June to S60 and not having a touchscreen was something i was worried i would miss. Since then i have besides using S60 had a SE M600 and a TYTN both with touchscreens and sold both in a very short time of use. I have found not only do i not miss a touchscreen the better screen is more than worth the price of not having one. But if you feel you need or have to have one then a Nokia is not for you.

Hi guys,

Just throwing my 2 cents in here. I actually think that both phones are of excellent quality. Actually, in the hands of someone who really knows how to operate the P990i, the phone can be a powerful tool. In the hands of someone who is always fumbling around the controls of the P990i, throwing the phone out of the window becomes a very nice option....hehehe.

The P990i...I think... is more for the business minded person who loves the use of a touchscreen. There are people who really just prefer to enter the data through a touchscreen method. So, if you fall into this category, then the P990i is the phone for you. If you're more of a multimedia person, then definitely the N95 phone is the one for you.

As for comparing the two phones, I think we should compare the P990i to the N93 or N93i for now. Until SE releases a 5MP phone, lets hold the comparisons of the P990i to the N95 for now. At the moment, the top phone in the market belongs to Nokia's N95. Until then, let's wait for SE to release something to knock the N95 out of its ranking.

I don't think even the SUCCESSOR of the P990 will be comparable with that of the Nokia N95 here Get the N95 - no doubt !

Bart, you sound so desperate. Can't find any response to how N95 demolish the p990 in (almost) everyway, eh?. Why do you even bother? It is like containing fire using paper.
