I don't know. I read the comparison. So to say P990 is one year behind a N95 is really not fair. But again, the N95 has only a 208 MHZ processor ?!?!? And only 10 % better than the P990 ?!?! This is peanuts considering P990 was announced a year ago !!!! Come on, judge apples and apples, not tow different styles, at 2 different times. What did Nokia have to show a year ago?!
N95 final specifications still not clear (e.g. cpu, ram, ...) N95 probably have a much higher cpu clock (between 220 MHz to 400Mhz)
This is PRECISELY why I for one find it funny that ppl are discussing this in any real detail. Lots of issues are yet to be finalised with the N95 yet. It is pointless to say 'THIS IS THE PHONE TO OWN' when you don't have any true final idea of what the phone has to offer specs-wise.
Comparing a phone that will be out sometime Q1 2007 to a phone that has been out mainstream since oct 2006 is fine for some, but if everybody decided to wait for the next 'big phone' that will be out sometime in the next 3-6 months no phones would ever be bought.

Also the chip clock speed is not as indicative as in a pc where power is not an issue. A cell phone's cpu speed is changing all the time depending on demand. Is dynamicaly regulated by the os. The difference is a P990i' os is more 'complicated' and therefore more demanding. This can easy be seen when it comes to video recording. ( video rec is the most demanding ops in a cell) No Se cell can record at the resolution, frame rate and overall quality my N70 can. Never mind the N95. Greetings from South Africa. Mario :D

What are you talking about? N95 specs is already out. We do know for sure it has:-
5MPx
GPS
WIFI
3G
VGA 30fps video record
Symbian
dedicated MP3 player buttons/connector
Show me a phone that has this from anywhere.

Going by track record N95 will be much more stable than P990 on release. The only N-series phone with stability problem is the N80. But this was fixed with one firmware update. P990 is already on 6-7 firmware update but SE still havent nix the problem yet.

The problems the SE ingeniers are having with the P990i, are ways more then meets the eye :-( Symbian as a OS,has never been devised with screen input in mind.The Pxxx OS goes at great lengts to 'bend' this rule,with various degrees of success. I love symbian and ALL the cellphones powered by it but, at the same time, have to admit, the P990i is not exactly what a Symbian cellphone should promote in the public's mind. The N95's specs have been finalized just prior to its public presentation. (and no wimax) Now is in 'tweaking' stage which, depending on success, should be concluded in 2-3 months. Early in 2007 the first exemplares should be available for public/network testing. If that goes well too, then in march/april should get the green light for mass production. Then another month or so and major networks should be able to have it. I expect, looked free cells, to be available as early as march (on occasion), but they would not have been tested on your prefered network.

Here is one of the very scarce N95 reviews.
http://soaileek.net/nokialist/2006/11/18/n95r1/ Keep in mind - is done on a pre-production model (september). Note the functionality of the device is there (unlike the P990i) . I can't help but notice: when Nokia amounced the development of N95 they come with a device (75%+ working) to show to the media, when the SE announced the P990i flagship they come with a sheet of paper

I don't see the comparison here either - or what all the fuss is about, to be frank. The N95 is the first Symbian phone to incorporate a GPS, and yes it has a nice camera, but that's really it surely? With no proper keyboard or touchscreen this is going to be of very limited appeal to business people, who simply won't be able to use it productively. A P990, or M600, is going to be a lot more attractive to them.
I'm not really sure which market the N95 is pitched at - I'm guessing from the response here that it's, well, the younger and geekier crowd.. but obviously the price limits its appeal even there.
I think phones like the N95 may have value to a company simply as a flagship - an example of what they can do - but in commercial terms, something like the P990 is going to outgun it. It's more productive, and a better all round tool.

You took words from my mouth as I am one of those users you mentioned. It is a fact that N95 has better technical specification. But for me the overall functionality will always be on the side of touch screen-querty phones as P990.
At the end it is all personal choice and for me it is as I said.
